Junto Nakatani (26-0, 19 KOs) has won World Championship belts in the lightweight and super lightweight classes, and this weekend he goes for another belt in the bantamweight category. He’s going to have to take it from Alexandro Santiago (28-3-5, 14 KOs). Santiago won the belt by defeating Nonito Donaire by close unanimous decision in Donaire’s ill-fated comeback in July. This is Santiago’s first defense of the belt, and Nakatani is heavily favored.
