San Diego welterweight meets Luna in prelim to Emanuel Navarrete-Eduardo Baez title bout at Pechanga
Welterweight contender Giovani Santillan sat next to WBO featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete during a press conference promoting Saturday night’s three-fight featured boxing card at Pechanga Arena.
Santillan won’t be fighting for a belt when he faces Julio Luna in a scheduled 10-round bout that precedes Navarrete defending his title against Eduardo Baez, but an impressive victory in front of an ESPN audience could help the San Diego native further in that direction. Luna stands 5-foot-11 and thus does have a height advantage over the 5-8 Santillan, who counters that edge with noticeably more muscle definition in his arms, shoulders, back and legs.
“It’s exciting actually, I love it,” Santillan said. “It’s a dream come true. Ever since I was an amateur, I’ve been dreaming about these opportunities.” That connection combined with an aggressive style, lighting-fast hands and a 30-fight win streak since losing to Daniel Argueta in 2012 means that, like Santillan, Navarrete will have the crowd on his side.
