Sanchez was systematically taken apart. He may have had a little early success but so what. At no point was he in control of the fight. He wasn't injured or compromised and it only took a few rds for Agit to take complete control. Sanchez doesn't have the pop to keep a guy like Agit off him. NO version of Sanchez wins. It's going to take either someone with serious pop and or a fighter that is elusive...and they're also going to have to have an engine. Agit has a good beard and is able to withstand a considerable amount of punishment. Usyk and possibly Wardley and Itamu are the only 3 I can see beating Agit and Agit is definitely competitive v all 3. 40 yr old version of Usyk would have a hell of a time and we simply don't know what Moses has later in a fight. Wardley v Agit should be made, if Wardley get past DD.
Sanchez has always been a bit too tentative. For example, I don’t think he would consistently use his jab to keep Kabayel from setting his feet. He’s also looked like a fighter who can get overwhelmed by smart, consistent pressure, which Kabayel brings in spades. Sanchez would also need to clinch to offset Kabayel’s body work, and that’s not something we’ve really seen much from him. That said, the Sanchez from the Ajagba fight was no slouch. He’s always been technically sound with solid power. I could see him taking the first four rounds before Kabayel starts hammering the body and breaking him down. Ring size matters a lot in this fight as well. In a bigger ring, I could actually see Kabayel winning by decision, because Sanchez isn’t really “slick” in the traditional sense. To me, slick means standing in range, making your opponent miss, and making them pay. Sanchez is more of a mover, which is why his knee injury affected him so much in the Kabayel fight. So I think it would be competitive early, but I’m taking Kabayel by late TKO, around round 11.
No, Kabayel can cut Sanchez off unlike Ajagba and he's a vicious body puncher. Sanchez lost to Pero in the amateurs because of body shots
I’ve been looking for this fight because of Pero’s fight with Miller next week. Do you have a video of their amateur fights?
I know that a lot of injury excuses are lies but surely sometimes someone can be legitimately injured.
It doesn't matter though, Sanchez has never been all that fleet of foot, especially not enough to evade Kabayel.
I agree he beats any version, but that leg injury was painfully obvious. He shouldn't have been in the ring imo
