    Great fight. Fenech has his moments but Sanchez stops him late

    Bad match up for Fenech.

    Sal occasionally struggled with cagey and rangy fighters who kept things long. But against aggressive guys who took the fight to him? He usually carved them up like a Christmas turkey. Fenech an absolute devil on the inside, but don't forget the sheer size and strength Sanchez had at 126. He was incredibly robust at the weight. Fenech isn't going to manhandle him, pin him to the ropes or work him over like he did to Zaragoza or Nelson in the first fight.

    Competitive first few rounds, but after that I see Sanchez taking over decisively. And if Fenech's still there after that point, I could see it becoming an absolute hiding, with Sanchez ripping him to shreds by the end. I think Sanchez stops him around the 10th or 11th round.
