[Kilburn]

Ok Faddy Donovan time to wrap up this interview.

New quote unlocked;

“Besides the pyramids”

[Kilburn]

So what’s the story with Sanchez’s knee?

Bellew not saying it, but he may believe that Sanchez is older than his recorded age of 33.

He wore a knee brace in his loss to Agit and could barely use his legs at all in that fight. But I didn’t watch his comeback bout, so I’ve got no idea whether the injury has fully healed or not.

Bellew not saying it, but he may believe that Sanchez is older than his recorded age of 33.

He injured his knee prior to the Kabayel fight but didn't want to turn the fight down due to the money. Turned up and his movement looked like shit. He got surgery to fix it. Sanchez then pulled out of this fight initially due to a knee injury. Now it's been rescheduled, it's difficult to imagine anything other than him walking around with one leg in there when his movement was one of his best weapons before.

[Kilburn]

Thanks guys I’ve not been paying enough attention clearly.

[gregregegg]

Is this in Egypt because when it was in the works Iran was as sending missles at Saudi? Or is it just as a legit spectical event? Cause I have seen aproximatly zero appetite for a 2000 person outdoor fight night in desert with some little cardboard cutouts of pyramids…. (Cool you can see the real ones in the background but with all venue lights they look very dim in the background)

[Heldenjaeger]

No knee brace this time. But let’s be honest, he somehow looks even older than Luis Ortiz — and Cubans usually age pretty well. Well… at least the ones who weren’t spending years in the Olympic system as “18-year-olds” with suspiciously receding hairlines.

[gregregegg]

I really want torrez to win, but thrown 10 on Sanchez by stoppage. 9-1 on a 12 rounder feels like too much value for Sanchez to stop him.

[Kilburn]

Anyone else got the Magnum PI theme tune in their head.

[MightyWarrior]

C’mon on Ricardo

[MightyWarrior]

He’s Gotta watch out for that sharp right-hand Sanchez is throwing there

[Heldenjaeger]

Sanchez doesn't move a lot, looking to time Torrez.

[gregregegg]

I always thought Sanchez best weight was 220 ish. As a mover.

His upper body is hugeee. Not chunky legs and still 240lb… big boy, wide back. Just a tank really.

I saw him as a little could be cruiserweight mover… looks like dubiou now…

[Heldenjaeger]

Killed the hype.

[Kilburn]

And thats the bubble burst.

[handsofstone]

Sanchez flattens Torrez, wowzers

[Ricky]

Wowza, back to the pornstar industry for Torrez

[Kilburn]

He’s Gotta watch out for that sharp right-hand Sanchez is throwing there

Bang on

[joshj909]

Huge

[JC]

Blimey

[JamesPhilips]

Is Torrez Vs Sanchez still on track for a 7:40 start time?

I think Sanchez has a chance if he’s trained properly

There you go

[joshj909]

Kabayel's stock just went up

[Controversial]

Night night

Carlsberg don’t do knockouts, but if they did….
