In the lead up to their welterweight showdown to prove they are on the top of the division, WBO #1 Alexis “Lex” Rocha (23-1, 15 KOs) and undefeated #5 Giovani “Gallo de Oro” Santillan (31-0, 16 KOs) hosted a press conference today to promote their match taking place at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on Saturday and streaming worldwide on DAZN.
Alexis Rocha: “We both knew this fight would come one day. We’re knocking on the door for title contention. He’s ready. I’m ready. We’re going to bring it. This is a fan-friendly fight that could potentially end in a knockout either way, so you guys do not want to miss this.”
Giovani Santillan: “I plan on making a statement. I’m finally getting a chance to show the world who I am as the main event at the Kia Forum. This is something very meaningful for me and it’s going to be an exciting night.”
Great great fight
In what way? Rocha ordinary and no ones ever heard of Santillan. Proceed.
Clearly you don’t know shit about boxing. 2 of the top welterweights in the world, go crawl back under the rock you come from.
In the way that they will put a show fighting toe to toe like a roosters do we will enjoy the beer instead fell asleep
DMV,
This is a very good match up. I don’t know where you get your “ordinary” and “no one’s ever heard of Santillan”. Foolish comments because they are both tough crowd pleasing fighters so do yourself a favor DMV and stick to mens figure skating or badminton. Pfft come on sunshine that was an idiotic comment.
Rocha is solid but average power, unfortunately not enough to get it done against the top dawgs. Boots, Spence and Ortiz Jr, he is going to have to get their respect and his average power is no going to cut it.
I use to train with Giovanni, seems like it’s been a long time coming for him but I’m glad he’s getting a shot to see if he has what it takes. Best of luck buddy.
