I been telling people this fight has been overlooked by so many. I really can't pick a winner. Santana has really good power but Lundy has the experience, skill, and speed. I don't know if Santana's power will be enough for him to win.

With Lundy... Power is always something to worry about.
He's gotta outbox for 10/12 rounds and keep his head on his shoulders

Yeah, Beltran had him hurt over and over again in that fight.

Exactly it's a huge risk/reward situation.Steve Farhood titled it well in an article he wrote on this fight "Santana Risks Career Suicide Against Lundy on Feb 21st ShoBox".Clearly is team do gotta respect the kids balls for doing this

Thanks for the heads-up on the article. I tracked it down. I didn't know Santana dropped 38 lbs in six weeks, or that he had back and knee injuries. If true, that would explain Angelo's lack of conditioning. Not to take anything away from Mamadjanov; he's not top-class, but he's a tricky fighter with heart and plenty of international amateur experience.

What concerns me most, perhaps, is that Santana hasn't been allowed to gradually mature and learn to cope with adversity. He had no answers when Baha didn't lay down and die. Angelo followed him around the ring, looking for the big shot that would put Mamadjanov away. It never came. Santana must learn to adapt when his opponent doesn't fold to his power. It might happen again tonight.
