    [PLEASE HELP] Where is Ricardo Torres?!?!

    After Holt-Torres II, I thought Ricardo still had plenty left in the tank, but then the rubber-match fell through and he was next seen months later looking off-color, but entertainingly so, in a tune-up turned life-and-death struggle down in Colombia with largely unknown Raul Pinzon, who'd been on a small-time KO tear until being blasted out in a round by teenage welterweight prospect Saul Alvarez (I highly recommend Torres-Pinzon if you can find a source, BTW, I only have it on DVD or I'd upload).


    It's been a year with no fights since and nothing slated as far as I can tell.



    Anybody got any news on where Torres is at, what his weight is like, what his plans are?

    Nevermind seeing him at a world class level, I'm almost beginning to wonder if we'll never see this guy again period - would be a shame as Torres vs. Anyone typically makes for a great popcorn fight and the guy is possessed of a genuine wordless ring-charisma which draws you in and makes you anticipate his fights.


    So what's the deal?

            i dont know if i would take Torres tho...i see Maidana unleashing hooks to the body and stopping Torres...but then again, im firmly planted on the Maidana bandwagon wight not

              thats a ppv worthy fight but i doubt maidana would take those bombs from torres early but if he could weather the early storm i could see torres fading and getting stopped late. what a great fight i think im going to make a thread with a poll for this one

                Yeah, man, that was the Pinzon fight.


                Torres was entertainingly awful that fight, and hasn't been seen since.


                Anbody know wha'gwan with him?




                Torres-Maidana would be insanity, BTW.

                  yea, that was over a year ago...haven't heard a peep out of the guy or his camp...im afraid he might have outgrown the weights where he could have been a major player in...perhaps another one of those dynamic sluggers that just fizzled out...this one kinda sucks because he fizzled out quick
