I do believe a fighter can better himself but to develop this power and work rate that he didn't show in any of his previous fights...not saying he's on something but there's a possibility that he could be.

    We will know after the post fight urinalysis.

      Isn't kind of strange how the results of urinalyses sometimes comes after the fight?

          How was he a hypejob? Lmfao everyone knew he was a regular fighter. Didn't even pass the eye test. He was just a gutsy fighter. Nobody was crowning him best at WW or anything

            Why was he such a big favourite ?
            Santillan wasn’t supposed to be the guy to beat him if you go according to the script
            And before losing , many here thought he was the goods

              TBF, it took Santy what seemed like a million clean shots to end him.
              I wouldn't consider that power to be awesome.

                I mean, that's my assumption. Are people still thinking this is not common in 2023?

                  Well that's a lie lmfao

                  Oscar knew it which is why he was gonna be used as a stepping stone for Virgil ortiz vs Crawford.

                    I like Rocha. Not atg or anything but i appreciate his determination. Didnt expect to see him end up like that versus anybody really.
