Mexico’sSantiago has his work cut out for him in the first defense of the titlehe impressively lifted from Nonito Donaire back in July. The unbeatenNakatani is not only the local fighter, but he’ll be motivatedby the chance of grabbing his third world title in four years. A terrific matchup, indeed.

Saturday, February 24 – Caribe Royale, Orlando, Fla.
Edgar Berlanga vs. Padraig McCrory - super middleweight - 12 rounds
Puerto Rico’sBerlanga put the super middleweight division on notice when he scored 16 first-round knockouts in a row to kickstart his career, but has been unable to score a stoppage in the past three years. He hopes to change that againstMcCrory, an upset-minded brawler with his own need – and means, according to him – to score an impressive win. Don’t expect to hear a decision in this fight.
