        Eh. I kinda thought as much at one point but I think Anderson is crisper and not as unpolished. Torrez though has that pizzazz and power, and we can see that he IS getting better. Anderson to me feels like he’s stagnating.
        Anderson can't deal real HW. Bakole destroyed him. Ever real HW like Bakole would do same to Jared. But Torres is capable to survive hard punces. Dawjenko landed few bih shots on Torres and he felt nothing.

          Jalolov absolutely flat lined him in 12oz gloves, Dawejko can't punch so him eating shots for him doesn't count for much when he finally fights a live body we'll see what he's made of.

            I mean the dq was warranted. He basically quit.

            But yes that ref was talking against Dawjweko since the first round, including repeatedly warning him about feet as he was fighting. I thought Joey was talking to Torrez during the fight and realized he was having to answer the ref while fighting. Crazy.

              Yeah that was brutal. From what I recall, Torrez was a little bit more competitive in the rematch but still lost clearly.

              I think Torrez, has a ceiling a bit below the top level. I keep throwing out comps to him and I think I will settle someplace between Baby Joe Messi and Tommy Morrison. An athletic puncher with some defensive liabilities and size disadvantages. While he's an accomplished amateur, he still has had only 11 fights. Top Rank is usually very careful in the progression of their fighters and I think that's the right approach with Torrez.

                To be fair, Anderson absolutely went out on his shield and Bakole arguably flatlines 85% of the division.

                  I agree. Bakole is top 10 for sure. Would love to see him and Hrgovic.

                    Torrez has a nasty right hand problem. He leaves it down too much for his own good and against someone better, it will cost him. Other than that, he is slowly but steadily getting better and more technical. Work on that guard!
                    And he needs to work on his 'stache, looks fem shaving the middle lip imo
