Richard Torrez maintains undefeated streak with unanimous decision win in Las Vegas
This time there are no knockouts for Tulare's Richard Torrez.
But his undefeated streak continues after an unanimous decision win over a taller Guido Vianello in a 10-round heavyweight main event in Las Vegas on Saturday night, capturing the NABF, NABO and IBF North American titles at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort.
'I was trying to set up my feints and my body shots,' Torrez said. 'Then, my body shots started landing more and more. From there, other shots started landing like my hooks. That was the plan that we had.'
The judges ruled the fight 98-91 2x and 97-92.
According to Compubox, the 6-foot-2 Torrez (13-0, 11 KOs) jumped out to a 23-14 lead in punches landed. Vianello (13-3-1, 11 KOs) had been penalized a point in the second round for excessive holding.
Vianello, listed at 6-6, had a 46-33 advantage over rounds four through seven.
Torrez connected on a counter left hook, stunning Vianello in the last minute of the eighth round.
Torrez landed 40% of his power punches while Vianello connected on 31%.
It's not known when Torrez will fight again but he's ready for any opponent that comes his way.
'I don't say no to fights,' he said. 'I want that to be clear. I want that to be known. Whoever you guys give me, I'm going to say yes to.'
