He's gotta do it at some point. Let's see what's up. Completely rooting for the CHP 'stache. WAR TORREZ!!!
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.
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.
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.
Sanchez can’t deal with pressure fighters as we saw against Kabayel big time. Torrez unproven though, but Sanchez really isn’t great.
