That "jewfro" would have done him wonders had he done better in his career. That's a marketing strategy that would have worked really well in his favor if he had better physical attributes to back it up in the ring.
Yeah, except he didn't. He's never been marketed as the reincarnation of his uncle, or anything beyond what he is. The hate would be understandable if he did, because that would be disrespecting Sanchez's memory (the way Chavez Jr. was disrespecting his dad's in the early stages of his career, before he took it seriously and when he was happy to just take Bob's and the Mexican fans' money with shitty efforts in the ring and barely training...)
Why take the **** out of him? He's had the balls to get in the ring and fight, many times. His uncle would probably have been proud of him for that alone. How many times have you been in the ring? Bunch of ***gots on this site.
:good He's always in entertaining bouts, too - even when getting the **** kicked out of him by superior talents. No doubt his uncle would approve.
Yeah, you can't fault a guy who undoubtedly knows he's not very good, but gets in there with better fighters anyway, and as you say, at least makes it interesting, if not always competitive.
He did. Velez is just too much. Different class. It isn't like he quit. He was stopped on his feet after rising from two hard knockdowns...
Poor guy is as talented as a peanut, but his tribute to his legendary uncle is admirable. He needs to a visit pronto to the Romanza gym. Fights nothing like Sal, he could improve from D level to C level fighter.
Nobody is surprised by this Sanchez II is no where near his uncle. PR needed this to help the hurt of what has happened to Boricua boxing, and Cotto getting outworked. Let's see how Velez does against PDL. :good
