    torrez has not evolved much, if any. guido was there for the taking and torrez could not see the weaknesses. he connected his right hand at about a 70% connect ratio. it was a gimme if he used it.

    Yep and it will be the uppercut that knocks him out.

    Sickening cards. And I scored the fight for Torrez.

    Close fight. I had Torrez winning 5-4, the point deduction was the difference.

    Scorecards were absurdly wide. Vianello was fighting Torrez and the referee, and the judges were not going to let him win a decision.

    And the commentators were biased in favor of Torrez.

    Torrez should drop to CW. He can win belts there.

    :lol:

    Tyson was quicker, sharper, a better combination puncher, hit harder, and had much better defense and footwork.

    Watch Tyson-Tucker. Tyson maybe took 10 hard shots over 12 rounds. His defense was a different level to Torrez Jr.

    I gave him 1-3 because he was the only one able to do anything. Not because of good boxing or anything, but because he kept lunging in and keeping Guido from getting anything off through systematic hugs. To his credit, he did win the last two pretty convincingly, but it ain't a good look that it took him that long to make any sort of adjustment through adversity.

    The man barely won five rounds and won most of them very messily. 8 rounds though, Jesus Christ. That's just... ew.

    It's just crazy that Americas best heavyweights would be like 3rd best on the Newcastle pub circuit.

    Yes. Guido was very sloppy and inaccurate with that right hand upstairs, especially vs a smaller fighter like Torrez, but he still caused him a lot of problems and rocked him a few times

    Cruiserweights can box though.
