I’m Mexican American just like Giovanni Santillan and love the Robert Garcia camp but I’m very glad Brian Norman whooped his as. Folks this is what happens when you have 30+ fights fighting nothing but tomato cans and hold up your career showing off how you sparred the top guys, sparring and fighting pro are two very different things. This is what tends to happen when you pad your record only fighting in your own hometown protecting your 0 and then step up in competition to fight 1 actual good fighter, you get exposed.

Did Garcia have a game plan for this fight? If so, it was pretty bad.

Robert Garcia and "game plan" in the same sentence???

Garcia thought Santillan was fighting another Lex Rocha.

Kind of makes you wonder just how bad Rocha actually is...

Well, Speedy Ellis beat him with ease and Romain Villa beat Ellis and Bootsy Ennis destroyed Villa...

I gotta see this fight. I thought santillan was gonna place brain norman horizontal, nice and peaceful on the next slab. Santillan said Floyd helped him and all this, so I figured if Floyd the God helped him in anyway, he'll box like jesus himself. Norman must be Floyd's daddy. Floyd's boy got touched up tonight

The guy delivering the KO of the year had something to do with it.

That was a spectacular performance that I didn't see coming from Norman and a spectacular KO, guaranteed KO of the year.
