Sergio Martinez to face Daniel Santos on February 14th?
If Santos agrees, this would be a good fight!!
Much better than Martinez vs Greene. :p
This will be a great fight night paired up with Angulo/Mayorga, and Campbell vs Funeka.
Martinez-Santos added to HBO's Feb. 14 card - Bad Left Hook
I wonder what fight will fill the void on the Berto/Collazo card now? :dontknow:
;D

I'd still take Martinez to win, but Santos is always dangerous with that power he has, should be a great fight.
Re: Sergio Martinez to face Daniel Santos on February 14th?
Good fight, Santos knocks him out to set up a big fight finally.
He's going to be one of the big stars of 2009 maybe even getting in the p4p rankings with a win over Williams or Margarito imo
Re: Sergio Martinez to face Daniel Santos on February 14th?
Well I guess they are only going to show the Berto/Collazo fight next week.
At least according to Dan Rafael in his chat just now. This is what he said about the whole situation.
Here's the deal with that: Berto-Collazo will air as one fight only next week. On Feb. 14, we will see Angulo-Mayorga and Campbell-Funeka. HBO is also finalizing the Santos-Martinez fight. The Martinez side is done, from what Lou DiBella told me last night. HBO and King have made their deal for Santos. The remaining aspect of the deal that needs to be finished is for King to make his deal with Santos. I believe it will happen and if it does, it is an absolutely sensational tripleheader.

Do you think the same argument could be made for Dzinzurik (sp?)?
He has beat Joel Julio, Lucas Konecny (sp?), and Daniel Santos, and is 34-0.

Wow I have to say he somehow completely avoided my radar. I never knew he beat julio and with wins over Santos and Lujon he does indeed seem to imprressive.
I';ll have to download the Julio fight somehow missed that completely.
What's he like? I see he doesn't have much knockout power, all of his recent wins going the distance and that he's won quite a few wins on points in Germany which can be hard to gauge.
I've never seen him fight but will have to check him out for sure.
Still can't believe Julio lost to him and I didn't even know the fight took place :-\

Daniel Santos never beat Antonio Margarito, and the only reason he was able to rock Antonio Margarito in there 2nd fight. Was because he was 170 pounds, and had a big weight advantage.
Antonio Margarito would of stopped Daniel Santos in the later rounds, had it not been for Antonio Margarito's badly cut eye cut which was caused by an accidental headbutt.
It was a hometown decision for Daniel Santos, no doubt he was competitive. But actually score that fight RBR and i think its virtually impossible to have Daniel Santos winning if your not biased.
By the way i wasn't sure if you was talking about Daniel Santos getting a win against Antonio Margarito. In the future or you was on about there 2nd fight, regardless i just gave my two cents above.

I'm just saying I've got a feeling that Santos will have a big 2009 with a fight and victory over a really high profile opponents, Margarito or Williams for example.
He's a talented fighter.

He was probably just being humble or he knew he lost because he was in Daniel Santos home turf. Either way score that fight RBR and see if you can have Daniel Santos winning because i can't.

I got Santos over Martinez

I heard "you quit" :dontknow:.....;D.Really was looking forward to making that drive to see Martinez but for Collazo/Berto ??Sad to see it scraped but 2/14 card shaping up very nicely
Re: Sergio Martinez to face Daniel Santos on February 14th?
I saw Martinez at the PRC. He's got superfast hands!
Re: Sergio Martinez to face Daniel Santos on February 14th?
Awesome fight. Anyone noticed how stacked 154 is starting to look? A year ago people agreed this was the weakest division in boxing, suddenly it's beginning to look very strong.
I'm looking for Santos to win and have a big 2009. Like Bilbo said, he's very talented and he's very underrated IMO.
