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.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI feel Frank does an important job of lulling you. He\u2019ll throw that one jab, that one jab, after which he\u2019ll include a extremely quick one with a strong two. That\u2019s something I gotta keep my eye on,\u201d said Torrea Jr. to talkSport Boxing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel the difference between me and Frank is Frank has the chance for one shot, and if not then it\u2019s gonna be a scary fight for him. For me, it\u2019s that pressure. It\u2019s that tenacity and as those rounds go on is where I get my money in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-32\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<br \/><center><\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; gap:12px; flex-wrap:wrap;\">\n<picture style=\"height:100%; width:auto; display:block;\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/google.png.webp\"><\/source><\/p>\n<\/picture>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqLAgKIiZDQklTRmdnTWFoSUtFR0p2ZUdsdVoyNWxkM015TkM1amIyMG9BQVAB?ceid=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"display:flex; align-items:center; justify-content:center;\n            width:140px; height:40px; overflow:hidden;\"><br \/>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"468\" height=\"128\" alt=\"Follow Boxing News 24 on Google News\" style=\"height:100%; width:auto; display:block;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/follow-google-news.png\"><br \/>\n  <\/a> <\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI feel Frank has an important probability for me to showcase my boxing ability more because I even have to bring it out. I\u2019m really excited for this fight to showcase that I can actually box as well,\u201d said Torrez Jr.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe heavyweight division is so volatile straight away. You never know who\u2019s going to be on top. It\u2019s changing every month it seems like. I actually need to place us on the market for the USA and say we\u2019re here to remain as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOleksandr 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,\u201d said Torrez Jr.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel [Moses Itauma] is an important fighter. He\u2019s fast, he\u2019s quick, he has incredible capability, but again, I feel that he hasn\u2019t fought a fighter like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Torrez closed by making it clear how highly he rates himself heading into the most important fight of his skilled profession.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m extremely confident in my ability. I wouldn\u2019t be on this game anymore if I didn\u2019t think I used to be the perfect. I consider I\u2019m the perfect in boxing, and I\u2019m here to prove it,\u201d said Torrez Jr.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-video\" data-provider=\"youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NihhDk_vZtw\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NihhDk_vZtw\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" onclick=\"perfmattersLazyLoadVideo(this);\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Youtube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/NihhDk_vZtw\/hqdefault.jpg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"sabox-authors\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-wrap\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"author\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-tab saboxplugin-tab-about\">\n<div class=\"saboxplugin-desc\">\n<div itemprop=\"description\">\n<p>Robert Segal is a boxing journalist at Boxing News 24 with greater than a decade of experience covering fight news, previews, and evaluation.
