    Frank Sanchez is good but

    is it just me or is he fast becoming a chore to watch?

    They say no two fights are the same, all his pretty much are.
    Is it just me or is like once you've seen him once you've seen the lot.

    He's the total package imo
    he is everything you want in a HW - Good size, decent cardio, good footwork and controls range well, great handspeed, power, accuracy, seemingly a good chin etc
    But this guy is so mind numbingly one-paced and has no killer instinct.

    Paw, paw, big overhand right, circle out. Rinse, wash, repeat!

    He's good but no variety or gears. I get you don't have to get out first gear to beat Christian Hammer but come on, show us something ffs

    Cuban Flash alright, Cuban flash and no substance.

    Its not Rigo levels of bad but it was abysmal.

    He'll be another Cuban that is avoided and for good reason and he only has himself to blame. You get a big stage, ppv against a punchbag on legs and you churn in that performance? Terrible viewing.

      Ortiz basically does the same thing though with a little more variety. Sanchez did much better against Hammer but Hammer wasn’t training for Sanchez ,makes me wonder if Hammers just durable enough to make guys look bad ?

        Why does someone with his speed and pedigree seem unwilling or unable to string any combos together. Like you said, he just circles and pot-shots. He looks untouchable against plodders like Hammer and Ajagba. How will he do against someone who can cut off the ring and apply some real pressure?

          Sanchez has that Luis Ortiz thing going on where he looks much older than his listed age. That’s the only thing interesting about him because watching him fight sucks.

              Yeah he has a case of “Lara Syndrome”. Lots of skills but seems to kind of coast or so the bare minimum to win.

              The bare minimum still won him every round doe.

                I keep hoping that Eddy Reynoso can get him to let his hands go more. Mix some Mexican style aggression with that scientific (but often boring) Cuban style.

                He was admonishing Sanchez about that in the corner during the Hammer fight, so maybe it's coming?

                  Boring and forgettable. Sanchez is just a decent fighter in a mediocre division. He is about to get KTFO in his next couple of fights.

                    He is maybe boring, but I would pick him to beat everybody except Usyk and Fury. Division is full of mediocre guys. And Sanchez is good enough to avoid everything big punchers can throw on him.
