An article about him
http://www.notifight.com/artman2/publish/Entrevista_6/Sobrino_de_Salvador_S_nchez_pelea_en_EE_UU.php
The kid has a improved so much! he only had 8 amateur fights, and his first 2 fights were losses.
He's now living in the USA and is trained by Jimmy Montoya, and is managed by Grant Elvis Phillips a great fan of his uncle.
He's really trying to be a clone of his Legendary Uncle, i saw his fight yesterday because TV Azteca showed 3 undercard fights, They show him fight after the John Molina fight, and the Kid put a great perfomance, he must watch Tapes of his uncle everyday, he also uses the same outfit as his uncle.
I knew about him, and looking at his record i never took him seriously.
But I was so impressed yesterday with him, i know he fought a journeyman, but i was impressed with his boxing, his combinations, etc.
And he has fought pretty tough competition in his early years in Mexico.
From some reports they said that he's 24.
Maybe he has a future in Boxing after all.

EDIT
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FIGHT!
If you were sitting in the nosebleeds seats, you'd swear it's his uncle.
Thanks for posting, bro.
I know, he resembles his unlce a lot :eek:, he was even using the original outfit that his uncled used in some of his fights.
at some points of the fight he looks like Sal and moves like him it had me laughing lol to bad the kid wont get far
He kind of moves like him, but why do you think he will not go far?, that was my initial reaction when i saw some of his earlier fights, but after watching this fight, he completly changed, his combos, his hooks, etc.
Margarito, Zorrita Soto, Mijares etc., they all had early losses and then became champs.
I like the look of this kid he hits hard to the body thats for sure
Those hooks to the body reminded me of the fight his uncle had with Wilfredo Gomez. :boxing:
I know :D, and it's not like that hair runs in the family, because something that not many know is that the Great Sal had straight hair.
yep and his nephew does too he told us in the media he does it to emulate his uncle
he wasn't as bad as I thought he would be and fought a tough Trini Mendoza
You need to make an accout on worldboxingvideoarchive.com
It's a pain in the ass trying to register in that site, and the ratio demands are sometimes to much.
lol he even has the haircut lmao!!!

He's definetely marketing this as much as possible.I was looking at him last night and I thougt it was Sal Sanchez himself in there,from there hair to the physical build nad to the old school trunks he had he looked every bit of Savador Sanchez.
He even looked good fighting but lets not forget Mendoza has been losing a lot lately.
I will try to keep on eye on this Sanchez though to se what else he does.
In TV Azteca they said that he was using the shorts of his uncle, haha.
And i know it was Mendoza his opponent, but i was impressed with his skills.
Good to know that i'm not the only one on Boxing Scene who saw his fight.
At first i wanted him to lose the fight because i didn't like that he's trying to be an Clone of his uncle,
But if he keeps fighting like this, being a clone look wise, will give him lots of publicity.

I believe he's actually his nephew(or at least claims so).
Anywya yeah OP I saw his fight too and I was impressed.Fast hands,he throws lots of punches,doesn't have much pop on them but he definetely places them well.
I'd like to see him more.

People that try to emulate their legendary fathers usually do not make it.
I know that, and i had dismiss him as a prospect after his loss with "Chucky" Lazcano (a very tough fighter but not a future world champ).
But then he went to train to States and they somehow change him, i watched him yesterday, and he was a totally different fiighter, i was shocked!
