The boxer fought for his life for five days but ultimately expired due to the circumstances of his condition. Santillan was a native of Ceres in Santa Fe, Argentina and was known for his aggressiveness boxing style.

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaimán Saldívar sent his deepest condolences with a tweet. On Tuesday, 28-year-old Russian Maxim Dadashev died with similar injuries and has prompted a worldwide protest on the issue of boxing's potential dangers.

Lou DiBella, a prominent boxing promoter, said that the industry needs to "look in the mirror," following this week's deaths.

Subriel Matías, Dadashev's last opponent recently opened up about the ordeal. He said that "No one is prepared to die while looking for dreams and goals." He added that fighters go to fight "thinking about the well-being," of their families.

After the fight, renowned sportswriter Matthew Aguilar criticized the commission and officials of the Maryland bout of their unpreparedness. He said that they made an injured Dadashev to "walk out of the ring himself & walk down a corridor before placing on a stretcher."

Before completely passing out, the Russian boxer repeatedly vomited on his way to the locker room. He was taken to a hospital to undergo emergency brain surgery but never recovered. The passing of Santillán and Dadashev raises the number of boxing-related deaths to 14 this decade alone.
