Should be a decent scrap. Never heard of santillan though

I look at Rocha's competition and wonder if Golden Boy is reading from the Mungaia's playbook. At least Mungaia fought a live (OLD) body in his last fight.

With Rocha being a southpaw and Santillian also being one, it almost looks like Crawford vs Spence. Rocha is Crawford in this scenerio. I feel if Rocha wins, he should challenge Boots for a vacated title. JUST SAYING!!

I know I've seen both of them fight, but I don't remember what they looked like. I don't know if that's indicative of me or they're fighting styles.

Boots would crush him. Maybe Villa or a Speedy rematch.

Good fight..

A Rocha vs Josh Taylor fight would be good with Taylor moving up in weight and being a former WBO Champ.

Solid crossroads fight, I expect Rocha to win by decision on workrate
