    That is quite a step up for Torrez, Vianello could easily win this. I personally thought he edged the Ajagba fight.

    I would have thought Torrez would have taken a slightly smaller step up before jumping in there with a top 20 heavyweight, someone like a Jerry Forrest type. Its good to see he is wasting not time though.

    This is good for Torrez. It's time for him to step up.

    Guide could be said to just have beaten Ajagba and Makhmudov. Wouldn't be a bad fight for someone like Hrgovic or Sanchez, let alone Torrez.

    Good fight. Everyone saying that the step-up is too big has to recognize if Torrez pull it off!

    Much better than anyone Itauma has fought. Vianello is a tough live dog in his prime looking to prove a point.

    If Torrez wins this, and looks good - he deserves more hype than Itauma.

    Finally Torrez steps up his competition, that's a pick em fight for me.

    Will say something about where RTJ can get to in his pro career.

    He reminds me of Chisora and there is going to be an opening in that heavyweight department soon.

    Got to step up eventually. Good test to see where he is at skill wise.

    He's only been fighting for two years. He's 25.

    This is entirely appropriately timed

    Usyk has become an unwitting agent for anti-Brit domination. If would be comical if Torrez successfully took up that mantle.

    Torrez only 8/11 by some bookmakers.

    Quite surprised about that.

    Torrez will win, but Vianello is legit. This will propell both careers
