Is Ricardo Torres any good?

yeah he is one of the few guys to ever knock cotto down

 

Huge puncher, shakey chin, crude boxer.

Got a gift against Holt, premature stoppage when losing comfortably.

 

read only.

 

As mentioned he is a massive power-puncher, but his technique is not the best. His chin is just left out there to be hit. However, I would not say he was particularly chinny (it took Cotto to hit him with a ton of punches to put him down and keep him down) but he does have glaring defensive flaws, and his balance and footwork are rubbish.

Apparently the Kendal Holt fight was a bloody fiasco; bottles and tins getting thrown at the challenger, and a bit of a premature stoppage.

Last I heard he was to rematch Holt, but in America this time. May not be ranked so highly in the division after that fight.

 

Torres- Urango would be 50-50 put it that way.

 

Jeez I would pay to see that fight. Wow what a match up. I had hoped that Hatton would be fighting Torres instead of his match up with Lazcano. Hatton would have got an hell of alot of credit for taking that one.

Torres is good but I can not see him keeping his belt for too long. I think he is rated so high for his loss to Cotto, similar to Maligfaggi in that respect.

 

a dangerous kid, he can't punch big.

 

banged a few in for liverpool though

 

He can blast a bit - but is Urango like technique wise. In other words heavy handed but sluggish and crude.

Hatton or Witter would school him, before stopping him.

 

Gave Cotto hell, pulled out a scintillating win against Holt and is the WBO champ. Boxrec record speaks for itself. He's good, not great, and he's very dangerous.

 

Witters people should be looking to Torres after his Bradley fight.

 

He got a gift win against Holt

 

decent fighter.

not good enough to beat hatton though.
