That name is too much! Sugar “Cain” Sandoval. Classic. I wonder if he is related to ole Richie. Boy, that kid was tough and was skilled as all get out. Just didn’t crack hard enough.
Walsh is likely not all that he’s cracked up to be. Throws fast arms punches and took some good rights.
Agree with you on that and he cops a few punches too. Defence isn’t that great.
But hats off to anyone that gets in the ring.
Walsh is young and a student of the game. Time will tell.
