Richard Torrez Jr. vs Guido Vianello prediction

Torrez Jr. vs. Vianello is a prototypical pressure fighter vs. boxer puncher matchup.

Torrez Jr. fights out of a southpaw stance and likes to close the gap and work from close range. He also boasts fast hands and excels when he uses them in combinations. Torrez Jr. also does a good job of changing levels and working both the body and the head of his opposition.

For Vianello, he's better off fighting at range. He's also a good counterpuncher and catching his opponents on the way in. In his last fight, he pummelled Makhmudov with counter-straight right hands and right uppercuts before stopping him.

The range and pace the fight takes place will likely determine the winner. Torrez Jr. will want to be on the front foot and push the pace while negating Vianello's four-inch height advantage and three-inch reach advantage. Vianello will likely want to counter and catch Torrez Jr. on the way in with big straight right hands and right uppercuts to try and slow him and the pace of the fight down.

This is a significant test for both fighters and great matchmaking with where both fighters are in their careers. Ultimately, I think Torrez Jr. will survive some tough moments throughout the fight and outwork Vianello en route to a decision victory and the best win of his career.
