    Age will prevail, Sanchez is around 40, hates pressure fighters and is typically low volume. Richard can also match his handpseed. Torrez is all wrong for him

    Hopefully Torrez will defeat Sanchez because it would be better for the division, and I think he probably will...

    But nothing is ever certain in boxing. Sanchez has some Cuban School skills, decent power and this is his last chance.

    Torrez will win on volume. Bum Junior Fa was outboxing Sanchez until the KO

    Most underrated fighter in the world is Torrez.

    Still a Sanchez fan, but Torrez beating him is plain better for the division. Seeing how raw he can look, Frank might just outpoint him.

    Junior Fa got robbed vs Parker, in my opinion.

    Insane step up for Torrez if the Usyk fight were to happen, but I bet Usyk will vacate the belt instead. Then again, if Usyk wants to do a US run then Torrez might be a good pick for that; a marketable young heavyweight with a solid highlight reel and a decent resume.

    Beating Frank Sanchez shouldn't propel you to a title shot. Although, it would be Torrez's best win.

    For me you need to beat a genuine contender to earn a title shot. Not by beating a strong gatekeeper.
