I really like this Sammy Vasquez but I want to see him with better opponents.
Looked pretty good.
How did this trash get three stars? I’ve seen far superior sparring sessions.
I had the exact same thought watching this fight: a boring sparring session.
Vazques, a very quick and talented figther, fully dominated this match. He has an excellent jab and produced nice punch combinations. In my opinion he should rise his guard a bit because against a better fighter than Lartey he could get in trouble.
Vasquez could have the making of a star, it was great he made a reddit AMA before the fight, but he definitely needs to show more. He did enough to win that’s all. #NotEntertained
