Richard Torrez Jr. says Frank Sanchez stays a dangerous opponent ahead of their IBF heavyweight eliminator on May 23 in Egypt, but he believes pressure and pace can eventually break Sanchez down.
Torrez discussed Sanchez during an interview this week before their fight on the “Glory in Giza” card near the Pyramids of Giza.
“You understand, I believe Frank, being from Cuban descent, he has that Cuban style. He’s in a position to box and box his butt off when he must,” said Torrez Jr. to the Mr. Verzace podcast at Ring Magazine.
“I believe he has a really strong backhand. I believe he knows form of lull you right into a moment to where he can land a certain shot that he desires to.
“And he does rather well at dictating tempo just a little bit.
“I believe where he form of lacks, though, is in that tempo. Should you’re in a position to take control of that, pressure him and impose your will on him, I believe that’s where things start to interrupt down fundamentally in the sport plan.
“I believe we saw it with Kabayel, and I believe that’s something I’m going to form of mimic and what I do already in my fights.”
Sanchez enters the fight after suffering the primary lack of his profession against Agit Kabayel last yr. Their fight ended after Sanchez appeared to have problems together with his leg throughout the contest.
Torrez also addressed Sanchez’s recent knee issue, which postponed the eliminator earlier this yr.
“I’m going on the market preparing for the perfect, Frank, though. I’m going on the market, preparing for a Frank that has two great knees.
“That’s the Frank I hope to expect because I would like to fight the perfect. I don’t need to fight someone that’s at 60%.”
The unbeaten Torrez will enter the fight with a record of 13-0 with 11 knockouts. Sanchez brings a 25-1 record with 18 knockouts into the heavyweight eliminator.
