    Yeah Torrez has no chin. To be totally flatlined by a right uppercut. I was worried but I didn't think it was this bad

    Richard may have a glass chin, but Frank is looking like he has some juice in his glass. Just a hunch.

    Yeah, Torrez has one of the worst set of whiskers I've seen in the HW division in a long time. Right up there with Fraudley "A-Farce" Harrison

    He's a great mover and has speed but the glass chin combined with a complete reckless disregard for decent defense when engaging kills him. It's like no one told him Sanchez is a counter puncher.

    I’ve never thought he had the potential to be a real top world level pro. Was more curious why others did than anything else. Regardless of chin and size, he just doesn’t impress me.

    Seems like a class act though.

    Boxing fans are way WAY to comfortable trashing people that put their health on the line for our entertainment.

    I do have to say, he gets KO'd beautifully. Like shotgun blast to the face flatlined. So I'm looking forward to his next KO loss!:D

    Pretty sure there was a serial killer who killed about 100 prostitutes who was known as the Grim Sleeper.

    BW is weak and new. Could establish himself there.

    Unfortunately.

    It's disappointing cause it's fun to see a heavyweight that wants to fight on the inside.

    Even if he had better defense, his style still requires a good chin because he'd still get touched periodically. Or, at the very least he'd need good recovery. Doesn't seem to have either though.

    A lot of today's top heavyweights like to fight at range, so a version of Torrez with a chin would've been interesting.

    Torrez has a glass jaw fanboy, and discerning boxing fans have every right - indeed we have a duty - to discuss that.

    And if that gets your blind, hero-worshipping panties in an uproar, you don't have to participate in analyzing Torrez's super-fragile mandible!!!!
