Chava convincingly. Hamed stands no chance whatsoever. He's not outboxing Sal and he's not knocking Sal out. This is a shutout.
Hamed has actually become pretty underrated over the years. He was extremely talented with some of the sickest power in featherweight history. WITH THAT SAID... this is a massacre. Sanchez is THE WORST possible matchup for Hamed. All of Hamed's weaknesses play perfectly into the hands of Sanchez's strengths. Sanchez counters the living Hell outta Naz and knocks him out inside of 9.
Hamed was a very dangerous fighter hard hitting and fast very underrated but Sanchez beats him and every other feather.if Nelson couldn't shift Sanchez then I doubt any feather weight could beat him.
Sanchez was 23 when he passed on and despite some of his big wins especially over Gomez, never got to shine brightly and his longevity iro ageing could not be assessed. Some fighters age earlier than others and end their careers on a low. Others get better with time iow start off badly and end off on a high. To draw comparisons with Hamed who only had one loss with crippling power and underated skills who took on anyone and had more longevity iro his career is futile.
Sanchez had a tendency to fight to the level of opposition, and raise his game for the big fights. Hamed was a big name/personality, so Sanchez would likely be at the top of his game and would comprehensively defeat Hamed. If Sanchez took Hamed more lightly, then it'd be more competitive, although I still pick Chava. Even in Hamed's best days with Ingle, his defensive flaws got him in trouble, whether it was getting dropped by Alicea or hit consistently by Medina. Sanchez would find a home with that right hand, and Hamed would either get stopped, or go into more of a defensive shell (like he did against Barrera) and drop a decision.
Sanchez would knock him out easy. The evidence to prove this is the MAB fight. Sanchez had more power and better skills than MAB.
