NOTABLE DATES

The legend Terrence Alli met Miguel Santana of Puerto Rico on two occasions and came out successful both times.

On December 23, 1997 Alli won by unanimous decision after 10 rounds against Santana. The fight was held at the Resorts International in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Judge Milo Savage scored it 98-93, Rocky Castellani 98-94 and John Riley 96-94 in favour of the quick-fisted Guyanese.
The fight took place five months after Alli had made an unsuccessful bid for Jose Luis Ramirez World Boxing Council lightweight title.
Alli first encountered Santana on September 27, 1986 at the Caesars Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Then he pounded out a unanimous decision to claim the vacant USBA lightweight title.
Alli made three more challenges for world titles. On January 12, 1985 he lost by TKO in round 11 to Harry Arroyo while challenging for the IBF lightweight crown. He then fought Ramirez before turning his attention to Julio Cesar Chavez on May 8, 1993.
Alli’s hopes of snatching the WBC junior welterweight crown from the Mexican was dashed when he lost by TKO in the sixth round.
