The Dark Horse Of The Welterweight Division | OCTOBER 15, 2021

Look back at this free fight between #giovanisantillan and Angel Ruiz. #boxing #boxinghighlights
Japan’s pound-for-pound hero is set to headline the biggest boxing event his country has ever seen. Undisputed junior featherweight world champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue will defend all the belts against Mexican puncher Luis “Pantera” Nery on Monday, May 6 at the Tokyo Dome.
Inoue, a four-weight world champion and two-weight undisputed king, will headline at the iconic venue for the first time.
Inoue-Nery and three additional world title showdowns will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT. Australia’s WBO bantamweight world champion, Jason “Mayhem” Moloney will defend his belt against rising knockout artist and former kickboxing world champion Yoshiki Takei.
The world title quadruple-header also features WBA bantamweight world champion Takuma Inoue (19-1, 5 KOs), younger brother of Naoya, who defends his title against former world title challenger Sho Ishida (34-3, 17 KOs). And, in a flyweight world title tilt, newly minted WBA world champion Seigo Yuri Akui (19-2-1, 11 KOs) battles Taku Kuwahara (13-1, 8 KOs) in a rematch of their 2021 Japanese title bout, which Akui won by 10th-round TKO.

Love his style, i think him vs Roiman Villa would be a good fight!

[@LucieOne]

He's excellent. When Crawford does finally get around to vacating the WBO belt at 147, I think Santillan ends up with it.

[@royrich7336]

Nope

[@michaelhernandez7700]

Yes needs to vacates 3 belt before before fighting c level champion fighter for WBA 11/0/7 😴😂😂😂 horrible fighter and resume

[@acdc123456781]

He fights boots he goes to sleep in 6 or less

[@michaelhernandez7700]

@@acdc123456781 no way santillan is strong enough to make Enniss look like Ochoa

[@forceoneX]

Santillan vs Boots! I'll buy 7 tickets! Great fight Ruiz deserves good fights and good paydays.

[@acdc123456781]

Would be exciting until Boots TKOs him

[@eduardofktrmp9463]

I’m R. Ruiz Santian, and it’s like watching me and my brother. 😅

[@rickisunak]

Santillan is an absolute monster. Avoid at all costs (unless you're elite).

[@brandijohnson1326]

I would like to see Santillian vs benn

[@user-dq5sx8uy2z]

ジョバニは何でこんな高速で回転系のパンチ出せるんだ?それと異常なまでのフィジカルの強さと圧力、アンヘルは序盤こそ良かったがどんどんスタミナ削られてった印象。両者良い試合過ぎる、ジョバニ強過ぎる

[@michaelhernandez7700]

What a beat down Rocha got knocked fk out 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽👑

タイトルダークホースだと分かりづらい、ちゃんと名前入れてくれよ
