LAS VEGAS (二月 12, 2016) – Rising bantamweight contender 亚历克西斯 “Beaver” 圣地亚哥 (20-3-1, 8 科斯) is nearing his first headlining event as he takes on 埃里克·鲁伊斯(15-4, 6 科斯) 星期二, 二月 16 from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas on 总理拳击冠军 (PBC) 脚趾到脚趾星期二 在FS1和 拳击冠军 福克斯Deportes体育场.
电视报道开始于 9 P.M. AND/6 P.M. PT and features a light heavyweight battle between Lionell “Lonnie B” 汤普森 和 保罗·帕克 plus a super middleweight showdown that pits Lanell “KO” 风箱 对阵不败 Antowyan “冰人” 艾肯斯.
Santiago has promised that his first shot at a main event will not disappoint.
“Everybody watching can expect a real exciting fight,” 圣地亚哥说. “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,” 圣地亚哥说. “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.”
转为职业选手后 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,” 圣地亚哥说. “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,” 圣地亚哥说. “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.”
现在, Santiago is ready to step into the ring and show the skills he has worked so hard to hone. 以胜利, Santiago has big goals for this year and beyond.
“I’m very motivated and excited to be the main event,” 圣地亚哥说. “It’s going to be an exciting fight and we’re focused on making everything go well on 二月 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.”
