Richard Torrez Jr. says he expects his pressure and conditioning to turn into a significant component against Frank Sanchez on Saturday night in Egypt. Torrez believes Sanchez is dangerous early, especially together with his jab and counter right hand, but feels the fight becomes harder for the Cuban contender because the rounds go on.
“I feel Frank does an important job of lulling you. He’ll throw that one jab, that one jab, after which he’ll include a extremely quick one with a strong two. That’s something I gotta keep my eye on,” said Torrea Jr. to talkSport Boxing.
“I feel the difference between me and Frank is Frank has the chance for one shot, and if not then it’s gonna be a scary fight for him. For me, it’s that pressure. It’s that tenacity and as those rounds go on is where I get my money in.”
Torrez also said the fight could give him a probability to indicate more of his boxing skills reasonably than only being viewed as an aggressive pressure fighter. The unbeaten heavyweight added that he sees himself as a part of the brand new generation carrying the division forward for American heavyweights.
“I feel Frank has an important probability for me to showcase my boxing ability more because I even have to bring it out. I’m really excited for this fight to showcase that I can actually box as well,” said Torrez Jr.
“The heavyweight division is so volatile straight away. You never know who’s going to be on top. It’s changing every month it seems like. I actually need to place us on the market for the USA and say we’re here to remain as well.”
Later within the interview, Torrez praised Oleksandr Usyk as a job model for smaller heavyweights and welcomed the thought of a future fight against Moses Itauma.
“Oleksandr Usyk has definitely been a job model to me as well. He really has knocked on the door for a variety of these smaller heavyweights,” said Torrez Jr.
“I feel [Moses Itauma] is an important fighter. He’s fast, he’s quick, he has incredible capability, but again, I feel that he hasn’t fought a fighter like me.”
Torrez closed by making it clear how highly he rates himself heading into the most important fight of his skilled profession.
“I’m extremely confident in my ability. I wouldn’t be on this game anymore if I didn’t think I used to be the perfect. I consider I’m the perfect in boxing, and I’m here to prove it,” said Torrez Jr.
