Friday, August 15 2008
Super welterweight contender Ray Sanchez of Albuquerque, N.M. is working out in Las Vegas blast-furnace heat to wire in for his showdown against Joaquin Zamora of Pecos, N.M. on Sept. 5. "Ray is working real hard to be fully prepared," said chief trainer Jesse Reid at the Top Rank gym today. Reid said Sanchez is working ".....on getting the right kind of angles....It's a 45-degree thing, angling in to effectively fight Zamora," said Reid. "Ray is going to work on that, spar a lot, run a lot."
Sanchez knows all about Zamora. Sanchez told Chris Cozzone of Newmexicoboxing.com that "....I've know Zamora for years and we're great friends. Zamora is tough and he has proved himself. In the last 4 years he has stepped up and polished his skills -- I better be ready." Sanchez plans to train in Las Vegas through August 29, then head home to Albuquerque. Sanchez vs. Zamora is the centerpiece of a huge Top Rank/Prime Time Promotions fight card at the Isleta Hotel and Casino in Albuquerque, N.M. on Friday, Sept 5.
