Richard Torrez Jr continues his stunning rise after landing devastating knockdown
Midway through the first round of the fight, as Jake attempted to pin Torrez against the ropes, he was clipped with a counter right hook and immediately slumped onto the canvas.
Jake beat the referees count and bravely got back to his feet, but the fight did not last much longer. As soon as the pair came together again, Torrez unleashed a barrage of punches and the referee quickly waved off the bout. The 24-year-old Torrez is fast becoming one of the most highly rated prospects in the heavyweight division, although there have been some concerns over his size standing at just 6 foot 2, which is relatively small in comparison to his rivals., telling talkSPORT: “I think the smaller you are the harder it is to hit you.
“So, I think that might be beneficial to me. I understand that they are big guys, but bigger sometimes that means lumbering as well.“I’m a guy who has an engine on me and I’ll show everybody that small heavyweights are here to stay.”
