    Exactly.

    Sanchez always seemed to be a guy that would not press on the gaspedal until late and just took his time doing everything. Systematic and winning but not risk taking and certainly not flashy. But taking him out in the lake for a drowning type result. And Sanchez was always in top shape.

    Once Hamed gets fatigued he really can't drop his hands any lower but he can slow down with that upper body movement of his. Low hands and slowed reflexes from the waist up are things a guy like Sal Sanchez would clean up on late.

    Sanchez puts the science on him and then knocks him out. I don't think this fight would go 3 or 4 rounds. We're talking completely different levels of boxing acumen. Horrible style for Hamed.

    Even the inept Roberto castanon went past that distance though.

    Sanchez was in for the long haul when he fought.as overrated and vulgarly unskilled as he was, tearing into Hamed in the early rounds with the amount of offence it would likely need to put him out is an ill-advisable approach for anyone.even a guy with a great jaw.That power was legit.

    Sal late TKO, wins most of the rounds.hamed looks like **** and probably retires on his stool or is rescued by the ref with his face horribly battered.
