Not a bad card of fights.

I can't work out Torrez Jr, he's a level above the bums, but that herky jerky style is very unsettling to watch at the top level, maybe a little light on for HW too. Should try and slim down and make cruiserweight.
If Torrez fights at 230 he probably walks around 240. Losing muscle mass to squeeze into cruiserweight for less money ain't the move.

It's a good point, but I don't believe he really makes 240 walking around like that, he's maxed out and he's not tall either. That opponent is normal heavyweight height and he's only 240. Torres would need to jump to 240 at that height to be able to match heavyweights, that's to match, not to compete.

He's too small for heavyweight, and doesn't have elite attributes like an Usyk (or the PEDS at this stage) to control the ring / tempo.
