[Teetotaler]

So is Velez still gonna fight sonsona or the wbc gonna let haymons beef with odlh stop from making the fight? Or are they just gonna match them up with new opponents?

I like Jayson Velez. He didn't look to good under Sanchez. IDK if that's Sanchez fault but I do think Roach will be a great fit for Velez.

Velez was a boxer-puncher with accent on puncher prior to the title fight.
It looked like Sanchez tried turning him into a defensive counter puncher and he was caught between styles. It looked like he was thinking too much rather than reacting. He shook the champion late and If he had fought in his earlier style against Gradovich from the start he might have estopped him. I think the move to Freddie is a wise one that will see him return to his earlier form with better adjustments.
