Comments Thread For: Frank Sanchez-Richard Torrez Jnr purse bid delayed, both sides hopeful of deal

[RockyKO]

Richard Torrez's work rate is very impressive. I love Sanchez's Cuban style of fighting and his counter punches are very precise yet accurate. We're just going to have to see if Sanchez's jab and subpar power is enough to keep Torrez at bay. This is a really good fight for Torrez's career and he will get a lot of experience then move up the rankings if he gets a W. It's a 50/50 fight for me but I'll watch more tape as usual.

I am not sure Torrez can win this fight but I would applaud him for taking it - massive leap in competition.

Massive leap? Dude the division sucks and Sanchez isn't even that good. I agree Torres isn't that good and unproven but calling Sanchez a massive leap is hilarious. Just says alot about the division

Okay, but even relative to your argument, would you or would you not say Sanchez is far better than Torrez' competition up until now?

This hw sucks big time. Nobidy wabts to fight nobody. The most deserving contenders Wardley and Kabayel are avoded.

Itauma and Torrez jr. are vig mouths.

Luigi is a fkn fraud, just like Jared Anderson, and just like Jared Anderson, he will eventually get matched wrong and will get face-planted.

And you think Sanchez is the one to expose him?

I don't have any allusion that Torrez is going to be the next great American Heavyweight, but he's fun to watch and seems like a good kid, so I support him. And I think he beats Sanchez handily.

Are you his cousin? You wave the pom-poms for Luigi as though you were a family member.

Nah. I just think he has a lot of things going for him. Southpaw, great engine, herky-jerky style, power, amateur experience.

I hope this fight gets made and we can see which of the two of us is seeing things correctly.

I get where you're coming from, man. Sanchez would definitely be the biggest name on Richard's resume. Vianello is his ONLY name at this point, who's last win against Barriere and his performance against Ajagba make that a quality win, but other than that Torrez hasn't fought anybody yet. He needs to soon and hopefully Sanchez is that guy, next.

He's a small heavyweight with the physique of a cruiserweight. Unless he has speed and power like a prime Tyson, he will eventually get pancaked just like Jared Anderson did.

Based on skills, size and pedigree, Sanchez should indeed beat him. Luigi reminds me of a smaller Jared Anderson.

I hope they get this over the line. If so, I got Torrez winning this one, though it should be close. Sanchez is very skilled, but I feel like Torrez's engine and volume is going to be the difference.

LMAOOOOO.......I have a better chance of winning the Powerball than Torrez has of winning this fight. If he dedicated himself to the sport completely following the Olympics, then possibly....
