Did this dude ever make it to HBO or Showtime on any undercards and shit or was he just a ESPN fighter?
He was in some great fights, too bad for his legal troubles.
I remember he proposed to his girlfriend right before one of his Sheika fights, shame things turned out the way they did.
I read an article in the ring magazine he said he couldnt pay his electric bill or something, desperate people do desperate things poor guy. it's sad cuz i remember before the lacy fight, they had the whole showtime prefight hype with interviews and everything. and he kept saying how the victory over lacy would put him on the map, and that the purse he was getting would cover the downpayment for his house.
it's bad how it all turned out for him. money is what all boxers are in for
I believe Pemperton is now serving like a 10 year sentence for a big drug bust.
One co-defendant in Mr. DosSantos' case, professional boxer Scott Pemberton, pleaded guilty and served nine months in federal prison. Mr. Pemberton admitted collecting debts for the drug ring.
:eek:
daaamn i didnt know he got down like that. dude was an enforcer.

His fights with Shieka were awsome too, cant forget those. And the way Manfredo KOed him was siiiiiiick
He fought Jeff Lacy on Showtime and got owned.
damn, was wondering because he had some exciting fights. not the best boxer in the world but could put on a show.
