Career
Santana turned pro in 1981 and challenged Simon Brown for the IBF Welterweight Title in 1989, but lost a unanimous decision. After a lengthy delay, the ringside doctor ruled Santana unable to continue. In 1995 they fought a rematch, and again Norris was disqualified for hitting Santana after the bell to end Round 3 had sounded.
Later that year they again rematched, and Norris dominated the fight, winning by 2nd round TKO. Santana fought three more times and retired in 1999.
