Richard Torrez vs Frank Sanchez for the IBF eliminator

Torrez Jr. takes this but gets obliterated in his next fight...

 

He's gotta do it at some point. Let's see what's up. Completely rooting for the CHP 'stache. WAR TORREZ!!!

 

Torres finally taking the floaties off and getting out of the baby pool.

 

I don't trust Cuban heavies. They seem lazy or burn out quickly. Otherwise, I'd pick Sanchez based on styles and what I saw from him against Ajagba.

 

If neither bites off more than he can chew before then, I'd like to see a Torrez-Itauma matchup by early 2027.

 

Go Torrez!

 

Vianello is better than Sanchez

 

By whom tho? I genuinely doubt that Usyk will fight Torrez of all people. The #2 ranked IBF guy is Chisora, followed by Sanchez, Torrez, Dubois, Anderson, Hunter, Bakole.

We might get Torrez vs Chisora for the vacant belt, or an all American showdown between Torrez and Anderson.

 

Torrez KO, too relentless, too fast, constant feints will mess with Sanchez rhythm

 

I think he'll continue to win at this level for a while. Sanchez has peaked and will probably start regressing pretty rapidly like Cuban amateurs tend to when they find their ceiling and/or get to comfortable after defecting. That being said Torrez is a brutal KO waiting to happen and like many like before it him it will probably come against someone not very regarded/massive underdog.

 

holy ****, dude, it will be his 15th pro fight. now get on a sanctimony pony and write 3 paragraphs about how he should have fought parker by now. go ahead... show us where the bad seppo touched you.

 

Relax lad it's a light hearted comment and I actually hope Torres wins the fight.

 

Sanchez can’t deal with pressure fighters as we saw against Kabayel big time.

Torrez unproven though, but Sanchez really isn’t great.

 

Super excited for this fight. Torrez had a good performance against Vianello. Maybe it wasn’t the prettiest fight to watch, but it’s not Torrez’s fault that Vianello has no inside game. Also, people can’t complain about fouls and hate on Torrez in that performance when Vianello was elbowing like crazy. Torrez consistently takes hard fights. Yes, he has struggled more in his fights than Itauma, but having tough fights and struggling will pay dividends in the future.

Frank Sanchez has always been a good boxer; the problem is he hasn’t taken many difficult fights. So I’m happy he’s finally not fighting journeymen, besides Kabayel and Ajagba, of course. The heavyweight division is finally moving again.
