Torrez to return Aug 27

Rising heavyweight Richard Torrez Jr. (2-0, 2 KOs) is wasting little time getting back in the ring after his quickie 58-second fight on Friday night. The recent U.S. Olympic silver medalist returns in a six-rounder against Marco Antonio Canedo (4-2, 2 KOs) on August 27, at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa. Torrez-Canedo will open the ESPN tripleheader headlined by the junior welterweight main event between former world champions Jose “Sniper” Pedraza and Richard “RC” Commey.

  • Richard Torrez Jr. reminds me of Rocky, he fights with his heart. Really enjoy his character.

  • Rocky was 20-20 when he fought for the title, wonder if he started his career 2-0?

    • Not quite, his record was 44-20, 38ko’s. But I see your point

      • 44-21 when he won the title then? Wish they could ask to be cut now. Rocky, Apollo, Clubber, Ivan and Tommy were cut from a different cloth

  • Torrez has a suspect chin, Bakhodir Jalolov tested it badly in the amateurs. He better stay away from Jalolov as a professional, because this man is the heavyweights version of Beterbiev

  • I wonder if/when Torrez becomes world class he doesn’t try bridgerweight. 6’2-ish, 225ish and not a monster puncher, think it might be a decent option for him in a few years over fighting monsters.
