    Daniel Santos will be in the cotto vs pac undercard

    http://www.primerahora.com/diario/no...n_rival/324463

    Superwélter champion Daniel Santos looks designed to form part of the preliminary program of the cartel led by Firepower megapelea between Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao on November 14 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    Yesterday, the company Top Rank won the right to file the lawsuit against Santos winner Yuri Foreman when he submitted a bid of $ 165,000 at auction.

    In fact, Top Rank was the only company that showed interest in mounted combat.

    Santos, who has not fought since noqueó Joachim Alcine in July 2008, has had to grapple with a number of adverse situations that have slowed his career. Last January, was scheduled to fight in Japan, but his opponent withdrew.

    In February, he received an offer to fight against Argentine Sergio Martinez. Although the promoter of Santos, Don King, agreed to the fight, the Puerto Rican did not give way, claiming that it needed more time to prepare properly.

    Then, it was scheduled to defend James Kirkland, but he was arrested for possessing a firearm while on probation.

    ****************

    El campeón superwélter Daniel Santos luce encaminado a formar parte del programa preliminar del cartel Firepower encabezado por la megapelea entre Miguel Cotto y Manny Pacquiao el 14 de noviembre en Las Vegas, Nevada.

    Ayer, la empresa Top Rank se adjudicó el derecho de presentar el pleito de Santos contra el primer clasificado Yuri Foreman cuando presentó una oferta de $165,000 en la subasta.

    De hecho, Top Rank fue la única compañía que mostró interés en montar el combate.

    Santos, quien no ha peleado desde que noqueó a Joachim Alcine en julio de 2008, ha tenido que lidiar con una serie de situaciones adversas que han frenado su carrera. En enero pasado, tenía programado pelear en Japón, pero su oponente se retiró.

    En febrero, recibió una oferta para combatir contra el argentino Sergio Martínez. A pesar de que el promotor de Santos, Don King, aceptó la pelea, el boricua no le dio paso alegando que necesitaba más tiempo para prepararse adecuadamente.

    Luego, tenía pautado defender ante James Kirkland, pero éste fue arrestado por poseer un arma de fuego estando en probatoria.

        I'll be rooting for Santos all the way since I still maintain that he was beating Marg's ass. The Rodney Dangerfield of the 147-154 divisions

                  Yikes! Santos will be fighting the definition of boringass fighter, Yuri Foreman. I mean seriously, I know someone of you will say "Hey man thats boxing" no its not. The guy is bigger than most of his opponents so youd think he at least jab his rival to death but no he fights like his rivals 5 times biggerthan him waiting for a swing in order to punch, and cant even impress the audience by evading punches Whitaker/Calderon style. The guy sucks!
