Sanchez (25-1, 18 KO) is by far the more battle-tested of the two, but has yet to score a win of note since his upset stoppage loss to Agit Kabayel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In other undercard action, middleweight smashing machine Yoenli Hernandez (9-0, 8 KO) faces durable veteran Terrell Gausha (24-5-1, 12 KO). While Gausha is 38 and coming off of back-to-back losses, most had him beating Elijah Garcia last time out and he\u2019s historically given a good account of himself even in defeats. With Hernandez\u2019s fellow standout Cubans like Yoenis Tellez taking unexpected losses of late, he\u2019d be wise not to overlook the former Olympian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Speaking of Garcia (17-1, 13 KO), he rounds out the broadcast against club fighter Kevin Newman II (18-3-1, 11 KO) in his super middleweight debut. The wheels seemed to be coming off for the 22-year-old after an upset loss to Kyrone Davis and that aforementioned questionable victory over Gausha, so we\u2019ll see if an extra eight pounds can cure what ails him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As expected, heavyweight contenders Frank Sanchez and Richard Torrez Jr will meet in an IBF eliminator on PBC\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":482137,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,711,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-482136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/482137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=482136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=482136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
