Alexandro Santiago is the new WBC bantamweight champion, winning via unanimous decision over Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire on Sunday morning at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The judges scored it 115-113, 116-112 and 116-112 in favor of the 27-year-old Mexican pug.
The win foiled the attempt of the 40-year-old Filipino-American to become a three-time bantamweight champion in his first fight in the 13 months since his devastating second-round knockout loss to Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue.
