Santillan loses his zero in this one. Rocha far more dynamic and powerful.

Rocha is nothing special. He's the same fighter Speedy Ellis washed a few years ago. No special effects.

I'm not a Boots fan, but he would destroy Rocha in 2-3 rounds.

Definitely not the same fighter Speedy Ellis beat… clearly you don’t watch the fights without hate in your eyes.

This is a risky fight between top contenders from different promotional outfits.

I’m surprised it got made.
