The man in question is Alexis Santos (12-0, 10) who after fighting limited foes so far takes on the slightly less limited Sylvester Barron (8-3, 3). Unfortunately whilst this is a step up for Santos, Barron isn't much of a puncher and has been stopped in the past. It would be far from a shock to see Santos
When a fighter taks their first notable step up we do tend to start getting excited about them. This Monday sees one unbeaten and heavy handed Heavyweight take his first step up and although he'll be expected to win it's still going to be his most notable bout to date.

We may be getting towards Christmas but the Heavyweight division hasn't take it's Christmas break yet and instead it continues on like usual. This Wednesday sees the US stealing the limelight with 3 Heavyweight bouts all of which will feature an unbeaten fighter.
Of the fights it's one in New York that looks to be the best of the bunch as the big punching Jarrell Miller (6-0-1, 6) takes on Sylvester Barron (8-2, 3) in a very interesting looking contest. Sure these guys are a long way shy of the world level but for the promising Miller it should be a good test and for veteran Barron he could well prove he's not done despite a quick loss to Charles Martin earlier this year. As well as the fight in New York there are two in Pennsylvania. The more interesting of these will see will see the unbeaten Mark Rideout (4-0, 1) battling the more experienced Eric Newell (7-2-1, 5). This will be the second meeting between Rideout and Newell with Rideout having taken a split decision in the first fight between the two men. The secondary bout on this show sees the unbeaten Dante Selby (2-0-1) taking on Randy Easton (1-2-1, 1). This all Pennsylvanian battle looks likely to be a lot better in reality than it looks on paper. |
