Angelo 'Cuban Cobra' Santana..

[damit305]

He had some issues making weight vs his latest opponent at 135.

No reason to stay at 135 imo.

Will he make some noise at 140+ ?

Your thoughts...

He still needs to make some noise at 135, IMO. lol

I was pretty excited about Santana before tonight, now I'm just that much more hyped. This kid can go places. I'd rather he stay at lightweight for a while and make his mark. (Or at least until Gamboa gets there. lol) In any case, Angelo needs more experience against progressively better opponents. He needs to fight often; he's been too inactive.

The article Boxingscene posted here earlier made it seem that Santana missed the weight because he was using an inaccurate analog scale. It's very possible that Angelo doesn't have real problems making weight.

140 is purely fantasy at this point I understand, but there are plenty names there to daydream about. I'm sure no one on here gives him a shot at any of the big names at jr. welter.

BuuuT, How about Santana vs Alvarado? How would that fair? I might be reaching.. or not?

Mike Alvarado? Now? I think that's reaching. Like I said, I'd like to see Angelo face increasingly challenging opposition. Alvarado is too much, too soon.

Ok 135 it is... but vs who? Broner, DeMarco are probably out the question.

Lundy, Molina, Kim... Abril?

I'd like to see Angelo fight guys like Acosta and Litzau next. I don't want him touching the top-ten just yet, despite what Santana wants. Lundy and Molina can come soon after, depending on how Angelo looks. I don't ever want to see Santana versus Abril.

Litzau.... Funny you mention him, his first loss hits me like yesterday, was close to the apron on that one...

No Abril... "might not be exciting enough"

Miguel Acosta would be a good choice. Who else in the top ten? Ricky Burns?

[any craic lad?]

Kid is a beast i wouldn't mind seeing him against Kim soon.
