“With all the spotlight on my latest opponent, I will be the first to say that he is the fastest, strongest and most explosive man I have ever faced. I waited for him to get tired in the third round, at the altitude and extreme weight cut, and it didn't happen”, wrote the veteran.
Sanchez then made a point of stating that he was proud to resist for almost three rounds against an opponent of such quality.
