I am the next in line. El proximo gran campeón Puertorriqueño. Edgar Santana, Junior welterweight fighter and contender.

On April 11th in Miami FL in front of a nationally televised Showtime audience, Santana won a hard fought fight against Josesito Lopez of California.  The tough exciting battle had Santana rising off the canvas twice to blaze back and dominate Lopez earning him victory.

Here are what some of what the critics said:

“Santana let loose with everything he had.  The crowd saluted the action, appreciating the valiant stand for what it was.” Cliff Rold,  BoxingScene.com

“It was a remarkable turnaround for the New York City fighter.” David Avila, The Sweet Science.com

“Santana showed major league heart” Scott Shafer, BoxingTalk.com

 ”It was one of the most exciting reversals in recent memory. Not matter whatever else Santana accomplishes in his career, this back from the brink victory gave fans memories to treasure.” Graham Houston, FightWriter.com

 ”When a guy(Santana) goes down and almost evaporates in a round and comes back and wins it, that is biting down, that is sheer guts, fortitude - the whole package.” Nick Charles Showtime Commentator
