Fight I

Torres did his best work here at midrange where his shorter but snappier shots did some damage and Torres was able to get underneath those big looping shots from Chinoi. Torres kinda reminded me of Ruben Castillo or Myung Woo Yuh in his dedicated, technically correct kind of pressure.

Chinoi looked quite crude, but at long range was landing those raking hooks. He also surprised me and landed some classy counters on Torres.

The early rounds were very close, but I preferred Torres's tidier work. After the 4th or 5th round Torres really started to take over and hurt Chinoi several times, but Chinoi gritted it out amazingly to stay competitive. Torres was on the verge of 2 or 3 10-8 rounds and was looking superb.

In the 8th Torres seemed to tire from his earlier exploits and Chinoi kept the fight at long range and was landing his sweeping shots, as Torres was in active, although Chinoi never really pressed the pace. Torres turned it around in the 11th with well placed counter shots and really started to go to work on Chinoi and his left hook to the body was sickening.

The ending was abit of a dampener, but Torres's cuts were very bad.

My scorecard.

Torres: 1,3,4,5,6,7,11*,12 *10-8 round KD'd in round 2
Chinoi:2,8,9,10
Total: 115-111 Torres (8-4)
