[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - Alexandro Santiago fulfilled his own bantamweight championship dream Saturday night. The 27-year-old Mexican came back from some troublesome moments early against legendary five-division champion Nonito Donaire, won a unanimous decision and left the ring with the previously unclaimed WBC bantamweight title. Tijuana's Santiago cried after Showtime's Jimmy Lennon Jr. announced that judges Max De Luca (115-113), Chris Migliore (116-112) and Steve Weisfeld (116-112) scored their 12-round, 118-pound title fight for him on the Showtime Pay-Per-View portion of the Errol Spence Jr.-Terence Crawford undercard at T-Mobile Arena.

Cong**** to Santiago and his family. Nothing left to prove for Donaire, great career and a lock to the HOF.

Donaire was a 6x1 favorite to win this fight.

Matchmakers were trying to make donaire look good agsinst a "nobody".

But Santiago was a very good boxer.

He was robbed agsinst ancajas.

He Is a very good fighter, crafty, with good skills AND fefense AND a solid chin.

AND he Is very humble.

Cong****

Nonito has had a hell of a career. Even that little resurgence he had a few years ago picking up two more world titles was not expected but I think it might be time for him to call it a day. He's probably made quite abit of money an done well for himself no point sticking around in you're early 40s being fed to Younger up and coming fighters of the division
