    Credit to Torrez Jr stepping up when nobody else was but this is a very bad match up for him. I do not see him winning this one

      Richard Torrez is getting a big step up. If he wins then he moves into the top 15 in sanctioning bodies and if he loses then he'll get a lot of experience. Cuban style sharp shooter vs a powerful engine such as Torrez. Stylistically, it's a great match up so I can't wait for it.

      The main and co main sells this fight for me.

        I have Torrez winning this one, but it should be a good fight and it definitely could go the other way.

        I gotta say, though, this card isn't deep enough in my opinion. Sanchez vs Torrez should be the fight before the co-main. A co-main should be a significant match-up, either something high profile or for a major belt. I'm a fan of Thurman, so I'll be getting the fight anyway, but I'm disappointed in the entire card.

        I'm not paying for Barrios-Garcia and I didn't buy Roach-Cruz, so overpaying for one PPV isn't too bad I suppose.

          Definitely a big step up, and it’s more than jumping into the top 15 of sanctioning bodies, which he’s already ranked top 10 in all of them except WBA .

          Winner is IBF mandatory

            Unless there's absolutely no more flash left in the Cuban, I see Torrez getting outclassed in this one.

              Torrez has an ace in that Sanchez will have been inactive for quite a while. If his chin holds up, and I imagine it should against Sanchez, he could take this one.

              Either way, time to see what he is made of, and I hope it's a better outing than his Vianello lunge fest. I am rooting for the kid despite his flaws.

                Not a bad fight. Should be interesting to watch.

                  Yeah, I cherry pick PPVs too. I didn't get the DAZN premium because it's probably only worth it if you intended on buying all of the PPV anyways which I wasn't. I didn't get Roach - Cruz or Benn - Eubank 2 either. I probably won't buy Wilder - Chisora unless the undercard is great which I doubt it will be since that's the main event.

                    Is Torrez still with Top Rank?
