Santiago has promised that his first shot at a main event will not disappoint.

“Everybody watching can expect a real exciting fight,” سعید سانتیاگو. “I like to go out there and perform and give everyone a great show. I can box and make it easy if I want, but I want to give everyone something to remember. I know Ruiz is coming to fight, and I know I’m going to give it my all.”

The road to this fight has been a long one for Santiago. The 25-year-old grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and was frequently in and out of trouble as a youth, eventually leading to his interest in boxing.

“Before I got into boxing, I got into street fights and was getting kicked out of school and all that,” سعید سانتیاگو. “I was always the troublemaker. My parents wanted to keep me on the right path. I had friends who were training in a boxing gym. I wanted to join them but my parents wouldn’t let me.

“I kept getting into trouble and by the time I was 14, my brother and sister just started taking me to the gym without telling my parents. They were really mad at first, but eventually they saw how good it was for me and I just fell in love with the sport.”

پس از روشن طرفدار در 2009, Santiago managed his own career and eventually decided to move to Las Vegas four years ago. He made signing with Mayweather Promotions one of his goals, a mark he achieved last year before his September fight.

“One of my goals when I moved to Las Vegas was to sign with Mayweather Promotions, and now I’m the first Mexican fighter from Mayweather Promotions to headline a PBC show,” سعید سانتیاگو. “I felt like it was time to take control of my career and take the next step and get the bigger and better fights. I wanted to be taken care of.”

Before his last fight, Santiago began working with respected trainer Ismael Salas and the two have been preparing a game plan for the tough Ruiz.

“Training with Ismael has been going really well and we’re getting great sparring,” سعید سانتیاگو. “We’re working on little things we need to fix, like sitting down on punches and other things. Ismael isn’t changing anything, but he’s just polishing everything and helping me out.

“We’ve seen video of our opponent so we know what we need to do and we’ve worked on it already. Ismael is a really smart trainer and I’m looking forward to improving with him each time out.”

اکنون, Santiago is ready to step into the ring and show the skills he has worked so hard to hone. با پیروزی, Santiago has big goals for this year and beyond.

“I’m very motivated and excited to be the main event,” سعید سانتیاگو. “It’s going to be an exciting fight and we’re focused on making everything go well on فوریه 16. I want a world title shot this year. I’m ranked by everybody, so hopefully with this fight we will get a step closer.”
