[BoxingUpdates]

Richard Torrez Jr.'s left-handed power-punching is repetitive and damaging at its best -- and his heavyweight opponent Brandon Moore could do nothing to stop that power as it went fully unleashed Saturday night at Pechanga Arena in San Diego.

Moore was game but lacked fundamentals. I know it's early in his career but Torrez has been fed some soft touches, need to get him in against someone a bit more durable.

Torrez needs to clean up his technique. Ultimately his wide lunging shots will get him in trouble, I also foresee many accidental clashes of heads in his future.

I saw Moore in an interview b4 the fight. He sounded very arrogant and overconfident. He said he was the best heavyweight in the entire game. He said he was a cross between Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Jr., and Larry Holmes. He was very dismissive of Torrez and said he was going to knock him out easily. He said he believed he would be doing a lot of hitting and that Torrez wasn't even going to touch him. I was like wow this dude is either Grade A for real, or he's talking sh...t, is delusional and gonna get his ass whipped. He needs a lot of work. He's not who he thought he was. He doesn't have the chin, footwork or head movement like Ali, he doesn't have anything resembling Roy Jones except how Jones sometime carried his hands low. But Roy was crucial, there's no comparison. And he can't jab or control distance anything close to Larry Holmes. Moore misses a lot of punches and swings wild looping shots. Doesn't jab nearly enough, just needs teaching and lots of work. He throws an ugly lead right hand/jab combination with his chin in the air and he rushes in punching with both feet coming together and he falls in chin first. Its blasphemy to mention any of those three greats along with himself. Don't do that son

Torrez fights like he looks, dumb as a row of stumps....
