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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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…

Is Torrez Vs Sanchez still on track for a 7:40 start time?
I think Sanchez has a chance if he’s trained properly
