Regarding about that, we all know that Donaire will try to take advantage the opportunity while he got the upper hand in this fight and will try to engage in a toe-to-toe fight in the early rounds, but I don't think that Santiago is inclined to do the same thing and will keep up with the phase to cath up with Donaire. I think he will start slow and might be in a defensive mode for a good 5 rounds until he can notice that Donaire is losing his speed.
It may work, if Santiago will start slow and observe what style Donaire will use against him.
Not sure if that strategy will be effective against Donaire, remember that Donaire has the experience here. So if there is someone that will adapt it will be Donaire.
fans if we will see more on defense with a lesser offense.
But, if that's the way how to win against the former champ, why not try your luck and use it? We will see what style
Santiago will use once the fight already takes place.
That is the only chance that he got here, try to engage Donaire early just like what Inoue did to Donaire. Although Santiago didn't possesses the power, but he could land several punches that might damage Donaire.
But still early to conclude what style he should used here because I have said, Donaire has the advantage here.
