Santillan dethroned previous NABO title holder Sammy Valentin in July via second round knockout. The San Diego southpaw is prepared to defend his newly acquired title on Friday night.
“It’s a long process to get ranked and win titles,” said Santillan at Thursday’s weigh in. “I’ve worked too hard to let this opportunity slip away. I fully expect to win in great fashion Friday night.”
