Yuri Foreman, an aspiring rabbi who mixes religious studies with work in the gym, outpointed Daniel Santos
Foreman knocked Santos down with a right hand in the final round, but by then the outcome had long since been decided. He won 117-109 on two ringside scorecards and 116-110 on the third.
The fight wasn't exactly an artistic tirumph, with both fighters head butting each other and Foreman throwing Santos to the canvas in the second round. But Foreman controlled much of the action and landed both the harder and more effective punches. The fight was on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto title fight at the MGM Grand arena.
Foreman, who remained unbeaten in 28 fights, emigrated from Israel to Brooklyn and began studying to become a rabbi three years ago. [link]
