Ya, horrible fight to kick off the ppv
I enjoyed the fight...and Torres used his reach to great effect and fought with composure. Banuelos wanted Torres to come within reach of his short powerful arms and he was frustrated. The ball was in his court.
If the fight lacked excitement, it was Banuelos fault, not Torres.
terrible how Miguel has changed his game for a score win. Not surprising, considering he is working with GSP's camp.
This fight was just awful to watch!
i actually kinda like a fight like that. true, the pace shouldve have been pushed by MIguel, but it was so technically sound. Miguel was pushing out his jab and straight so quickly and effectively, it was interesting, but yes it was not very exciting.
