Santana of La Romana, Dominican Republic, has heavy Puerto Rican backing. He is co-promoted by Miguel Cotto Promotions, and his head trainer is Puerto Rican boxing coach Millo Lozada. That could serve him well if a bout with Carrington were to be made in New York City. Carrington is from Brooklyn, New York, and New York City has a large Puerto Rican population, who might be enticed to watch Santana fight.
