Why the House picks Kyosuke Takami
Takami should unify the WBA & WBO belts in this bout held on home ground for him, but he’s up against an awkward counter-puncher who upset the odds last time out against the then-unbeaten Shokichi Iwata in Tokyo. Can lightning strike twice? The ten-year age gap (Shokichi 23, Santiago 33) and home advantage should see Shokichi through to a decision win.
