Torrez Gets Past Vianello — Not Without Trouble

On April 5 in Las Vegas, USA, American heavyweight prospect Richard Torrez (13-0, 11 KOs), 25, faced 30-year-old Italian Guido Vianello (13-3-1, 11 KOs) in a bout with three regional titles at stake: the IBF North American, North American Boxing Federation, and WBO NABO belts.

Torrez emerged victorious via unanimous decision, with scores of 97-92 and 98-91 twice. Vianello was docked a point early in the fight.

This marked only the second time in Torrez’s career that he didn’t finish an opponent by knockout. For Vianello, it’s his second defeat in his last three bouts—though in his previous appearance, he scored a surprise stoppage win over Russian contender Arslanbek Makhmudov.
