ive seen that dude santillan knock out his jap foe the dude was almost dead for real he's welter right? first filipino welter i know

There are a couple of welters that aren't as famous as Santillan that hopefully turn out pretty good. Other than Santillan the most recent one I think was Morris East. Ceferino Garcia was a middle weight champ but don't know if he was ever a welter. With the sports popularity in the Phil hopefully we will see more fighters emerge in different weight classes. Maybe we'll see a heavyweight one day, who knows, American Pinoys get pretty big. I think Vera in the UFC and B.J. Penn, if they were boxers would be pretty good.

Not for a looooong time. If there were ever a Pinoy heavy he would prolly be from the North America or Hawaii. I think its nutrition but the Pinoys in the U.S. get pretty big in comparison. The big Pinoys in the Philippines would more likely join the PBA(Pro basketball in the P.I.) than box. But who knows, boxing has now become popular.
