Santiago did what he promised – delivered a beat down in front of his home crowd. His jab was the game changer early in the round which caused serious problems for Magny who never actually recovered from it. With an onward pressure, Santiago smelled blood multiple times but didn’t quite get the opening to finish the fight. He resorted to leg kicks which took a toll on Magny’s legs and by the fourth round his leg almost gave up. Magny was constantly on the backfoot while Santiago closed distance to land some vicious close range shots. Santiago’s biggest win of his career came with a knockout in the final round that saw Magny drop flat on the canvas.
