Soon as he said Bomac in his corner I’m thinking well, I hope you told him how to duck a right-hand …he didn’t

Sanchez doesn't often get early KO's against half decent guys. Torrez's defence there was lazy

A bit like Marquez’s KO of Pacquiao

Devastating shot from Sanchez. He's back in the mix.

Tough loss for Richard. Got to feel for him. Same thing happened to him in the Olympics

Won 90 bucks but feel a bit sad. I knew torrez had been slept in the ams so never thought he had a golden chin. But that absolutely fucked him.
Couldn’t quite understand why coms were already talking about Sanchez next opponent befor this.

First time I've seen Torres.
Ituama would destroy him.

Crazy really, it was child’s play for Frank.

Sanchez has been a bit of a waste of a career. I have always thought he was over rated… but then very suddenly he was underrated.
This is his first good win since efe nearly 5 years ago.

Sanchez back in the game, but was probably flattered by that. Still has much to prove going forward.

Gutted by that as I’ve really enjoyed Torres’ fights up to this point and thought he could move right up the ladder
The manner of that defeat to a non elite opponent makes it unlikely he’ll reach genuine world level,

So now the IBF need to set up the second eliminator. Sanchez Vs Itauma/Jalolov/Hrgovic/Wilder/Riakporhe for the shot at Usyk or the vacant belt
Re: Round-by-Round: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven - 23 May 2026

Yes, it's looking that way.
Only the generational great Usyk gives him trouble.

When you see Efe at number 8 in the world, you realise the heavyweight division isn’t that deep.

Giyasov flatters to deceive, hope Catterall doesn't go down to his level
