Comments Thread For: Giovani Santillan Wants a Crack at Mario Barrios Next

[BustedKnuckles]

Santillan would maul Barrios he'll stop him brutally.

Santillan would maul most guys if he shows up again like he did.

I believe Santillian vs Barrios would be a great scrap! Barrios took shots from Thurman, so you know he has a chin, if he sees it coming, unlike Davis’s KO.
Barrios needs to add just a bit of muscle to his frame though

Mario is bigger than Santillan, don't know what you're talking about. Barrios got the right frame for a welterweight.

I prefer skill over power. Not so much because its better to watch, but because that's what boxing is about. Overcoming obstacles, power, with skill. I like Barrios chances, he jabs and can move his feet. Mostly on offense, he tends to clam up under fire.

Hear Rocha has a rematch clause.. he may invoke his clause

I realize that you personally are responsible for the cleanliness of Oscar’s (Rocha’s promoter) testicles but what middle of the road fight like this has a rematch clause? NONE! Agenda driven bu!!shyte on your part.

You're basing that prediction on precisely one fight.

No, Regge bases ALL of his boxing predictions on racism.

I agree. He just needs to beef up the shoulders a bit more. He’s tall and rangy enough for WW.

I'm basing it on what Santillan has shown he can do against another very good boxer puncher. Barrios is a point fighter he doesn't have the power of a Rocha and hes fragile he gets wobbled by light hitters often.

Santillan is just the all around better fighter.

Santillan was the underdog against Rocha (-650) for a good reason. Though undefeated Santiillan's had a fairly unexciting career against fairly underwhelming competition. He looked like a world beater this past weekend though, which is, again, the only reason you think he steamrolls Barrios. Barrios is new at WW, but he was a very big JWW, and he's 2 inches taller than Santillan. Like Santillan, Barrios is coming off of his most impressive win ever., so his confidence is through the roof right now. It's a very good fight on paper. We'll see how it shakes out in the ring.

That is boxing fans for you. Call you the next best thing since sliced bread on the basis of one good performance and as soon as that fighter stumbles , they turn on him. Wont be the first or the last time.
