Why? Their first meeting wasn't competitive at all.
Then again, Usyk/Dubois 1 wasn't competitive either and in their rematch I actually gave Dubois a round. Maybe Efe could win a round this time.
I see a difference though. Sanchez not in shape and wearing a leg brace and getting knocked out - where as Efe having a nice streak - I think will make this more competitive.
I believe both are top tier sparring partners for guys coming up who really want to fight and be possible champions but they both have shown themselves to be nothing more!
Even when Frank was on the rise, there were some red flags. He often "played with his food" and looked content to do as little as possible to win against limited competition. Against Kabayel, he looked fat, old and immobile with the knee brace.
Since that loss to Frank, Efe has won. I will give him that. None of the performances were pretty or really dominant. But he's won. Even in the loss to Bakole, he probably won (he deserved the decision and his stock didn't go down).
I don't think Efe is really that much improved but I think he beats Sanchez this time around.
