LAS VEGAS – Alexandro Santiago fulfilled his own bantamweight championship dream Saturday night. The 27-year-old Mexican came back from some troublesome moments early against legendary five-division champion Nonito Donaire, won a unanimous decision and left the ring with the previously unclaimed WBC bantamweight title. Tijuana’s Santiago cried after Showtime’s Jimmy Lennon Jr. announced that judges Max De Luca (115-113), Chris Migliore (116-112) and Steve Weisfeld (116-112) scored their 12-round, 118-pound title fight for him on the Showtime Pay-Per-View portion of the Errol Spence Jr.-Terence Crawford undercard at T-Mobile Arena.
