    Not a fan of Foremans style at all, but I will give him props since this is a step-up in competition for him. My only complaint really is that he literally turned his back in the 11th round and ran, I think fighters who do that should get deducted one point. Not as if the point would affect the fight at all, because Yuri dominated the fight.

      Pacquiao is gonna beat Cotto and Puerto Rican boxing will be in trouble along with the fact that Santos just lost.

          First Congratulations to Yuri Foreman on his win. The weight issue shows that Santos was not his self, he was an older guy. Not a geezer, but past his prime. Now Foreman can cherry pick or hunt monsters, which will it be?

            Did you see his style of boxing, no disrespect to a boxer but I see him choosing a similar path of Mayweather. **** he might even have 2 fights in a row where someone comes up in weight to fight him!

              Santos was pathetic on this fight!
              19 pounds?!?!?!
              He looked like a cow!
              And you know what's worse?
              I wanted him to win just to see him fight Kermit here in Puerto Rico!
              Too bad... he talked a lot of trashed and couldn't back it up.

                The weight excuse is what the Margarito fans use when he lost to Santos. Lol.

                  Am so pissed at santos. He never gets exposure

                  And finally santos gets some exposure and he doesnt train hard and doesnt take his opponent serious. What a shame he finally had his chance to shine and he blew it. What gets me so angry is that he is a really good fighter but he blew his chance.
