Why They Never Saw It Coming - Boxing Explained

- Fight Comic Mortal Weapons: www.amazon.com/Mortal-Weapons... Salvodor Sanchez is regarded as one of boxing’s greatest champions, and if not for his untimely death, many believe he would have become widely recognized as the greatest Featherweight champion of all time. Sanchez defended his title against quality opposition 9 times in 2 and a half years. He shared boxer of the year with Sugar Ray Leonard, and even received praise from the legendary Willie Pep, who said he was glad that Sanchez wasn’t around in his time.
Salvador's movements looked so pristine and graceful that it’s easy to miss the complexity and incredible unorthodoxy of his style. He is the last boxer you would ever call awkward, but by all accounts, the techniques he blended together should have made him so.
Sanchez was a fleet footed agility fighter who used lateral movements to cut angles, and a power punching pressure fighter who used low line head movement to push forward and load power from the ground. - กีฬา

The Modern Martial Artist... Did you notice how much at certain moments Sanchez looked like Bruce Lee? At 2:30 minutes in I swear it even looked like Chuck Norris he is fighting, I just wondered if you noticed this also or am I just crazy? Great post, as usual, you're the TH-cam goat of breaking down fighters and great fights always great insights have a great day.
Where can I preorder aggressive defense
The Modern Martial Artist I see this in Canelo but doesn’t get credit by many fans and boxing critics?

In fact,what you see is a genius,in total
control,of all technical technic,unseen before.Floyd,uses running to
get away,when hurt Salvador's technic
for avoiding getting hurt was part of
his technic.He had a good chin,but why
get hit.Ruben Castillo a class A+fighter,
gave him probably the best fight.No fighter before or since, has the same
attributions,as the late Salvador,close
in agility n precision, is Jaun Manuel
Marquez,and he has been robbed by
decision ofmany victories.
Wow! My father was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico and his favorite boxer was Salvador Sanchez. I can honestly say I've only ever saw my dad cry twice. One was when my grandfather passed and the day Salvador Sanchez died. Respect!
Gomez was a machine as well.
I was also born in ponce Puerto Rico en El tuque and Salvador sanchez was a legend in my house. We would always scream in Spanish "he never opened his mouth! He never got tired!"
puerto rico tierra de guerreros chingones. Saludos desde mexico hermano
That is really something, considering that Wilfredo Gomez was the Puerto Rican idol at the time.
👍👍👍👋👋✌️🇲🇽
He was only 23 and already had 9 successful title defenses. We never got to see him bloom....
Props for bringing attention to this boxing legend. A legend in every sense of the word...
There was reports tho that he was retiring from boxing to become a doctor or something like that. He apparently wanted to retire cuz he felt he had achieved enough in boxing at 23 and wanted to accomplish other goals outside of boxing.
@@thechief8754 this is the first time I hear this. I know that there was preliminary talks to fight Alexis Arguello which would've been a massive fight.
@@noface24 yea I've heard that as well at lightweight
For sure Sanchez was a boxing genius!
@Ser Bronn Lighter-weight fighters hit their primes younger, and are used up earlier. Too much reliance on their reflexes, which is the first thing to “leave” a fighter. There are exceptions, but they mostly just prove the rule. Chavez was done as a serious contender by his early thirties. I think I’d have to say that JCC is the greatest fighter whose prime I got to watch in real time. But he was only human. (Not for nothin but Pernell Whitaker best Chavez’ ass and got robbed, so JCC should’ve had his “perfect” record spoiled before he lost to Frankie Randall. That being said, it takes nothing away from the joy I got watching Chavez ply his trade, keeping Mexican Boxing 🥊 going strong after the death of SS. THE GUY WAS A FRIGGIN’ SURGEON. The Meldrick Taylor fight still takes my breath away, even if JCC should have lost. He never stopped body-punching even though Meldrick outscored him badly throughout the entire 12 rounds.
And of course the reigning logic regarding Salvador Sanchez says that he would have gone on to dominate the eighties, maybe even setting up more fights against Azumah Nelson. And Jeff Fenech. Sigh. Shit, he and Chavez could and should have fought each other!! Wow, think about THAT! What a matchup...
But SS would have hit a wall just like every boxer/athlete does. 23 years old as a Featherweight is more like 30 years old is to a heavyweight.
But my point is not to take anything away from SS, he was a ridiculously good boxer who not only robbed himself of a great career, he deprived US, as fans lol... but people no longer living on this plane of existence don’t concern themselves with such things. Maybe - just maybe - Salvador Sanchez is exactly where he’d rather be. He’s probably somewhere sparring with Willie Pep.
I didn't know about this legend till Roy Jones Jr and Mike Tyson spoke about him being the best boxer. A legend for sure, more people need to know about this man.
i didnt even know. i had to dig into mexican boxing history.
Best Mexican boxer ** not best boxer. That is what they said.
@@ethankelly4719 - Jones Jr said he was the most skillful fighter he ever saw..
Mike said ali and pernell Whitaker the best
Rhythm Boxing documentary introduced me to this legend
You can't teach this. The guy was a genius. He was born to box. Exquisite movement! Pure natural.
this guy had three lungs.. almost endless stamina..he used to train near the volcanos in central México, he was from Santiago Tianguistenco
I heard that he sparred 5 minute rounds instead of just 3.
Never heard of him.
@@thejabisthemarkofthebeast8244 The guy dominated his weight class which was loaded with champs, future champs and extremely high skilled top ranked contenders and he basically ran thru most of them.
He ran 8 miles a day.
Wallee Is there any videos on how he trained or his training plan
The man was simply amazing. I remember I was at night class up at Jersey City State College when it came over the speaker in the Student Union Building. I was just walking into the building when the news stated that featherweight champion Salvador Sanchez was killed today in Mexico in a car accident. I was shocked, I stood there like someone had just snatched my lunch and the cops saw it and laughed it off. I was devasted. I watched both fights of Sanchez and Lopez. Little Red Lopez was one of my favorite fighters. Lopez could take a beating and bounce back like Holyfield. No one withstood Lopez when he started his march, no one but Sanchez. Sanchez dismantled Lopez and you knew by the 5th round that you were going to be saying goodbye to an old friend and hello to the new kid in the neighborhood. I watched the second fight between the two and it was like watching a surgeon rid someone of a huge tumor whose time had come. I watched him destroy Gomez, something I didn't think was possible and I saw him methodically take apart a young and brave Azumah Nelson. My God, he was good! And he never looked tired, even after a good exchange he walked back to his corner and sat down, not a heavy breath seen! Folks he had the goods! Dead at 23! God bless you Salvador Sánchez Narváez, God bless you, and thank you!
that was a good story ... almost like a time machine
Enjoyed your comment!!
You know they gave him a car with no brakes gift from Don King for his last
I hope you write a book because you definitely have a way with words. 👍
I thoroughly enjoyed reading that lol
I can imagine how frustrating it was to fight him. You can't hit him, but he can hit you with ease.
He hits you on your best def..if you cover your side of the head..he will atack just right there in a few Cms away..so u don't have any def to parry it..and your body automatically will trow a punch to self def..and he will trow a counter..u lost the fight before start.
The better the fighter was the better he was. I was lucky to see his fights. Greatest pound for pound, real class, make Mexico proud.
Never heard of him, but now I’m glad I did.
Heard his name but nothing else about him...I started to use a lot of the moves I see on youtube...most of them work...Sugar Robinson's faint and joe frazier hook took the guys in sparring by surprise...I love when he posts such stuff...soo well documented....And when I think that others say fighting doesn't take brain...hell yeah it does
Here in Mexico, is widely recognized as one of the best mexican boxers of all time, just behind Chavez because he die very young
@@jessieh.8443 la verdad no, no dudo de su habilidad boxistica ni de posible futuro. PUDO ser mejor que Chávez, pero lamentablemente no le alcanzo el tiempo.
Te invito a que compares los rivales que tuvieron en común. Chávez finalizó antes a la mayoría de esos rivales mientras que Sal se fue a la decisión.
Chávez es el mexicano más grande amigo no hay duda. Sal Sánchez puede disputarse el segundo lugar con otros grandes púgiles como El Finito López o Mantequilla Nápoles.
I'm in the same boat.
@@Nimvar But of course they work! Champs and Legends were dominant for reasons.
My fathers favorite fighter. Sanchez was a great fighter with an amazing fight IQ
Both my dad and I loved to watch this dude. He was a real winner!
Easily one of the greatest. And a true shame when he passed. This man went through a complete fight without even breathing hard. His stamina was superhuman. Thanks for remembering one of the true greats
Dude had like a 44-1 record at just 23 years old. I genuinely do think he would have been the best boxer
44-1-1, which should've been 46-0. The one loss and one draw were both unfair decisions from what I've redd.
Hard to argue with that and he fought quality. You might be right. Damn shame. At least we got a glimpse
See what happened to canelo
@@jerryon9367 lmao you really tryna compare canelo to Sanchez? Sanchez was clearly more skilled than canelo
And 9 defenses
This guy was supremely talented.
Look at his face, he NEVER looks tired or breathing through mouth. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The best boxer I ever saw, he was the the Marquis of Queensberry rulers, he had it all. He was gifted in every aspect of the art .
su cara después de mas de 10 rounds ☺️
Respetos desde Puerto Rico a uno de los mejores boxeadores que he visto. Posiblemente el mejor peso pluma de la historia. El gran Sal Sánchez...Que descanse en paz.
el mejor de todos ls tiempos y un idolo mexicano sal sanches siempre seras el numero 1
He would of beat the shit out of Chavez. Chavez couldn’t even beat Sweet Pea
never heard of sanchez before (probably because i'm a new and casual boxing fan). i'm glad to have watched this video about him. thanks for keeping his legacy alive.
If you follow closely his channel and check his older videos you will not remain a casual for long my friend
The best mexicans fighters ever, and every mexican fan knows that:
Julio César Chávez
Salvador Sánchez.
Ricardo «finito»López».
maybe because you are so young, he died in 1981
Start reading about boxing history too wus, you'll be amazed with what you'll find. Enjoy man!
@@octuveryckazt2788 1982
I personally am mesmerized by his patience. He never goes before he's ready.
He slow as hell. Doesn't move his feet. Patience lol the dude Suuuucks.
@@cravenlevay8761 😆 salty comment
@@cravenlevay8761 you are on drugs
@@edDbalaM Call it as I see it Lame.
Real Boxer would kill this guy.
Wonderful analysis. For me, despite his terrible death, Sal's still in the top 10 boxers, of any weight, of all time.
Sanchez never closes his eyes, this is so important, constantly aware of what's coming, and every opportunity. Every hit is measured, dude was a technician.
Wow very true he looked very attentive seeing everything clearly
in the other hand see ryan garcia closing eyes at every exchange
I think he would've at least gone down as the greatest Mexican fighter ever, even over Chavez. At best, he might have been top 5 all time.
I agree
I have Finito Lopez over Chavez, but i agree, Sánchez could've been the greatest.
WhAt he for sure top 2 Mexican fighter ever and that guy he fought Gomez fights very similar to Chavez so 50-50 on that fight
He was the greatest Mexican boxer well on his way to be one the best ever not the most popular Mexican boxer that Chavez but the best fighter out of Mexico
WOW ! What a video Congrats and thank you for showing us the superb technique Sanchez had.
Personally JC Chávez has to be up there at the very top of the Chart..because of his Skills and Astonishing Record as a 🏆 Champion..But Salvador left this World to early..he didn't had the chance to build up a legacy big enough to compete with Chávez..we tend to compare the greatness of these two fighters but it's to difficult because we had the chance to see JC in his Prime and at his darkest hours..so it's not fare because we only saw Salvador's best version. The real question is who would've win..both at their Prime !!..Tough Answer...
he was as close to sugar ray robinson as iv ever seen.....as near a perfect fighter as you could get....had he lived to have a full career then i honestly think he would have been rated on the pound for pound all time greatest list up there beside ray robinson and henry armstrong and willie pep and muhammad ali......such a huge tragedy that he passed at just 23......boxing was robbed of a p4p all time great
andrew smith wow 23 thats pretty young. Boxing fans got robbed.
You forgot manny pacquiao. I mean his resume tops even Ali’s title filled resume
@@im_GeeOh I get that theres different weight classes. Thats why i dont realy hold ali to be that elite. In a sense, he only fought flat footed fighters. As in, he chose carefully. Til a man named Joe Frazier climbed up the ranks. His style resembles Archie moore. That head movement totally cancelled out Ali's signature jab. Clash of styles went wrong for Ali i guess. And in this era, fighters dont fight not nearly enough as old school fighters. Nowadays its 2 fights a year. which is why I admire tevin farmer for holding 5 titles defenses in a year.
GeeOh that’s why you can tell
Me that. Cause you a casual. Takes knowledge to keep a debate goin. You didn’t even consider the evolution of sport and the fact that athletes get better as eras pass by. Like you really think jack dempsey has a chance against iron mike? No way. Not a chance. That’s why Ali was a little ahead of his time. Cause he was better than most. But he couldn’t outbox Frazier or foreman, and he knew that. Resumes from back then can be comparable than resumes of today. You just gotta compare it accordingly. Look at the quality of fighters they fought. How many losses compared to wins the fighters they fought had. All that stuff.
@@markjoshuapablo7308 Ali did outbox both Frazier and Foreman i can't remember any exchanges where Big George got the better of him
SALVADOR SANCHEZ WAS AND STILL IS MY FAVORITE BOXER. I WAS SADDEN THE DAY HE PASSED. BUT HIS SPIRIT LIVES ON AND MANY TRUE BOXING FANS WILL CHERISH HIS STYLE OF BOXING
He was a masterful boxer and a class act. It was a pleasure watching him do his thing in the boxing ring.
it was said that his heartbeat returned to normal within the one minute break between rounds. wilfredo gomez was an undefeated power puncher when he fought sanchez and salvador made him look clumsy and slow. i remember that fight well.
I think the main reason Mexican boxers have such great cardio is because they train at high elevations
Now that's a new one, you mean that he
can normalize his heartbeat at will?
That is a fact his plusle was taken in sparring with faster fierce fighters he had control over his emotions/cardio like never seen before I was in mexico at the time this I spoke with managers ,sparring partners
@@pedrol.grande3048 no that hes got a good breathing technique and superhuman lungs from all those 8mile runs daily.
Been waiting for a salvador sanchez breakdown. My fav fighter of all time
El mejor boxeador mexicano de todos los tiempos, técnico, con pegada, una tremenda condición física, disciplinado, serio, le quito lo invicto a Azumah Nelson, Juan Laporte y a Wilfredo Gómez, venció a verdaderos adversarios tremendos como Rubén Castillo, Danny López, descansa en paz Salvador Sánchez Narváez.
One of the greatest technical boxers of all time. The speed of Camacho without the bad habits, a heart like Marciano.
He fights so calm and concentrated. Like a tachtical master
Everyone should watch the Sanchez vs Nelson fight. It was a nonstop 14 round WAR
sure it was
The greatest to ever step in the ring. If not for his death, he would have become the greatest boxer of all time period.
I believe it.. 👍
He has been a boxing legend in Mexico, my grandpa is a huge boxing fan and he would always talk about Sal Sanchez and his unfortunate death! I had never seen his fights till now, and wow what a great boxer he was, grandpa who is blind now never lied to me!
one of the smoothest boxer/punchers ever...
In my opinion the Goat Mexican boxer and top 10 ever.
@benicecunt o.k. ok count, that's beyond Goat...Sanya status or prime, if you know what I mean.
Agree
yep..many of us think the same here in México
Here in Mexico A LOT of boxing fans think the same. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@benicecunt o.k. hahah just to make sure we get the point. Lol
Salvador Sánchez el mejor de los mejores por siempre me quito el sombrero aún cuando veo sus peleas !😇🇵🇷
Salvador Sanchez was one of a kind Boxer, he's Boxing skills were so unic that he made the other boxers look so slow and unskill, he fought all 15 rounds like if it was the first round !!!
He was well known for his patience and accuracy in the ring as well.
One of the great legends. My old man loved him and Carlos Monzone, he still raves about His
Fight with Azumah Nelson. It’s a shame he passed in a car crash
Mike Faz NYC he died in a car accident
Thel 'Vadam i know, I was thinking of Rocky Marciano for
Some reason, either way , Sanchez was incredible
Thank you so much, The Modern Day Martial Artist for this awesome video upload. My boxing coach is from Tijuana, Mexico and in his opinion the greatest Mexican boxer 🇲🇽 of all time is the great Salvador Sanchez (R.I.P.). I shared this excellent video with my coach. Thank you ALWAYS. 😎🔥🥇
🥊🥊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖✝️
Best conditioned fighter I’ve ever seen. If he was tired, you never knew. He always had the same look on his face. Never breathed out of his mouth. And he was absolutely lights out off the ropes
He is a family favorite. Especially my Dad. We appreciate the sport. Have been following the sweet science since my Dad introduced boxing to us as kids. I'm 48 now. Thank you for highlighting Salvador Sanchez. His waist movement was unreal. I miss the 80's. It was a great time for boxing fans. God bless everyone in Jesus Christ.
I'm 47 now and my dad introduced me to Boxing in the early 80s.
The first big fight I watched was Holmes Vs Cooney. It was a good fight. I remember my dad telling me about Salvador dying young. I always read about how great he was. I'm glad this channel covered him.
You are right.
80s was a great decade for boxing fans:
Hagler, Leonard, Hearns, Durán, Chávez, Sánchez and many more.
Thanks brother for the Blessings and God Bless you and your family too and REMEMBER JESUS LOVES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TOO EVERYONE 🙏☝️✝️
This was one of the most loved boxers in Mexico ever, even international boxers feel the lost of Salvador Sanchez, Thanks for this video you always make great studies of their techniques.
Just look at the composure on his face. Rest in peace, legend.
Sanchez was so young and yet was the total package in the ring. A defensive dynamo with power in his hands and genius level fight IQ. It's sad that he didn't live long enough for the world to see him blossom as a fighter.
R.I.P Fists of Elegance
I've only heard of Sanchez in passing but this was a great video. This dude was unorthodox in the best way possible. I do more kickboxing but really appreciated how he rolled with the punches and used that to help load up his own blows. It's something I like to do in my own sparring matches. Looks like he's a good one to learn from on how to do that better.
No one can ever over do him especially in your area. Besides, he had it in his mexican blood. A real warrior, something new generation mexicans can't even understand.
I like all that you said but not mentioning the footwork isn't possible to roll with the punches, his positioning from both sides to roll with the punches created angles is because of his skills in moving his feet. In kicking boxing I can see how you benefit from this video.
@@sl6169 lol that's like ur father being a serial killer , do you have serial killer in ur blood? Dumbass comment. He's just built different. Fuck his race or wherever he came from
Definitely a different kind of Mexican fighter.
I agree, even among the greatest of Mexico, he stands out.
@Im Eiichiro Oda my n***a Ricardo Lopez was undefeated all his life both as amateur as well as pro.
@Im Eiichiro Oda my n***a Dude was underrated, underpromoted mostly because, the weightclass he competed is usually ignored by fans as they don't look big enough or freaky enough.
Ricardo Lopez is underrated. His style is really good. He can stick and move and fight close range.
You never heard of el Ricardo el Finito Lopez then, undefeated at pro and amateur, never saw another fighter like him.
I came here after roy Jones named him 3rd greatest ever after Ali and Ray Robinson. That's some epic company. I see what Roy was talking about. His style does remind me of Sugar Ray too.
He was a Skilled,Natural Fighter!
My father and I love watching boxing highlights. A few years back he told me about Salvador "Sal" Sanchez. Thank you for making this video, I will have to show it to my father.
Sanchez had insane stamina. He could be in the 15th looking like he was in the 6th

La verdad yo recientemente supe de él y no hago más que admirarlo con cada vídeo que puedo ver.
One of the greatest featherweights ever. Superb defense combined with the ability to punch accurately from almost any angle. His fight against Nelson was a classic.
Thanks for doing one of my favorite fighter of all time. He had everything in his arsenal. He can box your ears off, or bang it out if he wanted. What a genius this man was.
I've never heard of this man, but wow he looked amazing. It's sad that he passed away so young.
Salvador Sánchez se merece todos los análisis y tributos como cualquier llamado "mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos" , un fuera de serie, se fue y con el su boxeo, hoy en día los boxeadores se la pasan en el clinch y corriendo para no ser alcanzados, puedes ver como Salvador maneja la distancia a placer, ya sea corto espacio o en la distancia larga, siempre listo para evadir y golpear, golpear y evadir o evadir y golpear al mismo tiempo, todo indistintamente, con una elegancia que solo el poseía, bellos movimientos que le proporcionaban una fuerte y contundente golpeada, nunca se desesperaba, no trataba de apabullar a sus rivales, los iba trabajando a distintos ritmos, hasta que había la oportunidad de rematar, un caballero que respetaba a sus rivales y se entrenaba para aguantar 15 rounds y además corría maratones, se nos fue muy joven, una leyenda de verdad, no las "leyendas" de hoy en día hechas a base de marketing y dinero.
De acuerdo contigo totalmente Jaime...el Rey de Reyes del boxeo mundial, no comparable con nadie !!! Saludos.
Neta la bicicleta, simon Ramon
Bien dicho mi amistad. Y tú crees que el "entrenador del año" Eddy Reynoso dijo en el podcast de Mike Tyson que No era muy fan de Sánchez...que porque no tenía tanta técnica...hahahahahaha ay no más pa que vean. Que descanses en paz campeón!
Totalmente de acuerdo Contigo gracias por El comentario!
@@dodgerkid05 ese Eddy no sabe nada de box y mucho menos del gran Salvador Sánchez , que para mí gusto , todavía está por encima de julio cesar Chávez , y con mucha mayor razón por encima del canelo , así de fácil si l canelo hubiese estado en esa época no le hubiera servido ni para el arranque , sal Sánchez era un verdadero guerrero en el ring QEPD .
Plus he had the hitmans Hearns reach, truly a special talent for the sweet science
Loved this guy back in the day.
Boxing's golden age
Wow such a beautiful style of fighting. My dad has some Salvador Sanchez DVDs of his great fights lying around. I should dig em up
Sin duda el mejor boxeador mexicano de todos los tiempos!!!! 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏
Great analysis. One of the best and controlled boxers ever, even at 23. We definitely lost a master in his untimely death.
My prayers have been answered! Thank you so much. I hope this video will enlighten many of Salvador Sanchez. Truly a master of the sweet science and a magnificent breakdown.
I had never heard of Sanchez before now. He was incredible. Once again, thank you MMArtist.
Sal SÁNCHEZ the king of the mexican boxing
I remember Salvador Sanchez. He had that Aura of invincibility. One of the Greatest. Truly sad about early death.
Excellent breakdown of a great fighter. I remember when he beat the crap out of my hero Wilfred Gomez and he made it look so easy. What a great talent and would have surely have had a long successful career if not for his untimely death. Keep the videos coming, very well presented.
I really wonder who trained him and how he was so naturally talented. He was born for this.
Possibly the greatest Mexican fighter ever!
One of my personal favorites.
After Julio cesar chavez
Yes I'm with you
@@josaphatbetanzos8835 murió muy temprano, si no hubiera muerto, Chávez fuera el segundo.
My dad who introduced me to boxing always told me that if Salvador hadn't died so early, we as Mexicans wouldn't grade JCC sr as high as we do..Salvador he says had it all.. gotta agree wit the old man! We were definitely robbed of an alltime great! Nice video and breakdown very well down and explained
The thing with sanchez, he seems to be very fluid in his movement..it was like everything was just natural for him
Sanchez knew what to do and how to do it! One of my all-time favorites.
Just a pure and gifted natural fighter. It’s a joy just to watch him work the ring, amazing. Sad he passed so young...
He was amazin his stamina was out of this world he was so dicipline this guy come from real poverty in mexico he didn't have shoe and some time go to sleep whit out eating but that help him to became so dedicated to boxing hes trainer say that Sanchez have boxing for break fast boxing for lunch and for dinner he said whe he was in mexico and go out in the morning to run he use to run around the fields and see the people working to not forget where he come from rest in peace Salvador sanchez aka mister pulmones (lungs)
Salvador Sanchez is the greatest fighter of all time including all weight division. l have been involved in boxing for 60 years never have seen anyone better and I've seen them all. Anyone never heard of him doesn't know boxing. He was around during the 15 rounds era ,all his title defenses were schedule 15 rounds. He knocked out Wilfredo Gomez in the 8th round he was 38 wins all KOs it was an eight-round one-sided beating
I’ve never clicked on a video so quick before in my life !🥊🇲🇽
You and me both !
Me 3 lol
This guy is the real deal! Glad you made a video on Sánchez.
the man had the nickname Iron Lung for the love of god and he even went for 5 minute spars IN THE MOUNTAINS. He was essentially altitude training before it was popular. He was graceful and fluent between the most awkward of stances because he had the spare energy to do so
I mixed this into my kickboxing last night..... game changer. I love this channel because it's not really a coach teaching technique... it's more of a coach going through game film with you. Give you a foundation so you can mold it into your own thing. Love this channel!
Thank you so much for posting this! I remember him when I was young. Everybody paid attention to the heavyweights back then.. I always though Salvador was a master boxer.
Undoubtedly one of most elegant fighters of all time. Gracefully fluid in his movements and devastatingly vicious in his attack, he was at once a prince and a beast...
Excellent video! Sanchez was a master of the discipline. It's incredible to think that he had so much more room for growth and development of his techniques. Such a beautiful boxer to watch. Absolutely would have ended up as a top 3 greatest of all time pound 4 pound.
Is great to hear some bring old memories . The great Salvador Sanchez . I remember I was a newspaper boy at that time and people scream and cry when they get the newspaper .
It was a tragedy he died young, but it still doesn't affect the fact that he was already an all time great and to my mind one of the top 10 greatest boxers of all time, proof is in the pudding, the great performances against a collection of great and very good fighters even at such a young age of 23.
When he beat Danny Lopez it broke my heart. It wasn't until his later bouts that I could appreciate just how good he was. I was very saddened when he was killed. He was so young and so very talented. I've heard that he was a very good person, too. So sad.
I was a fan of Lil Red Lopez. That was a great fight. An The Nelson fight was war!
I watched a couple of those fights when they happened and always marveled that he always kept his mouth closed, never gasping for air...wonder fighter.
One of the best ever. His fight with Azuma Nelson was amazing.
Nice breakdown. Thank you!
YES ABOUT TIME PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT THIS GREAT LEGEND OF MEXICO!!
Man that guy is amazing!
He simply has the rhythm and movement in sync together for great defense followed up with immediate offense.
A superb boxer indeed
Salvador's boxing movements were poetry in motion.
He was already all time great by 23 he could’ve had infinite possibilities he would be top 10 atg
One of the Greatest „What If“
The obliteration of W Gomez will forever be my favorite moment of his career, and I think most Mexicans feel the same
As usual, the Puerto Rican ran his mouth waaay too much while the Mexican kept quiet and let his fists do the talking in the ring.
@@RogueReplicant HAHAHA! Dude, there are quiet Puerto Ricans and loud-mouth Mexicans. Cotto and Margarito for example. I'm boricua and I love Salvador. Loved his fight against Gomez. You know when you're rooting for a soccer team, and your favorite striker has a one on one shot on goal, and he kicks the SHIT out of it, but the goalie stops it? You can either say, "Que Cabron!", or nod your head, clap, and say, "that was a hell of a save"... I know a lot of old school PR's that said, "tremenda pelea"... My pops put me on to Salvador... Nothing but respect for him.
@@estebangarcia102 The key word in my comment is "as usual". Of course there are exceptions, and you are right that the scumbag Margarito is a pathetic trash talker and Cotto is a gentleman.
But it is also undeniable that many (not all, but many) Puerto Rican boxers run their mouth waaay too much and then get the shit kicked out of them. Edwin Rosario, Wilfredo Gómez and Héctor Camacho are a few examples of clowns who trash talked while their Mexican opponents remained quiet and respectful. Trash talking is considered not cool in Mexican culture, especially among boxers.
@@RogueReplicant Bro, Gomez was the beast at bantamweight. He moved up in weight to featherweight to fight the beast there (Salvador Sanchez). Salvador told Gomez b4 the fight, ” You had better take your picture before the fight, because after I get through with you, you won’t recognize yourself.” That's some cold shit to say b4 a fight! AND he backed it up! Props. Both roosters fought like WARRIORS, and Gomez went out like a trooper. I can make a list of cocky Mexican fighters, and a list of humble Boricua fighters, and vice-versa, but to divide is not my intent. The term "as usual" seems cool, until it is applied to our respective peoples. "As usual" the Mexican did this, "as usual" the Black guy did that. "Of course the PR reacted that way." I know that it is futile to try to change the mind of someone who would not have it be changed. And that there is no one more blind than the one who does not want to see... but... My Brazilian mother-in-law warned my wife not to marry a PR because PRs hit their women. My mother-in-law got her lip split by her Brazilian boyfriend, and it was ME that waited for him at her house, with a baseball bat. She couldn't SEE THAT. Shit, in my hometown, the "new" Brazilians are warned not to mix with the (American) Blacks or PRs, because the Blacks and PRs are no good. I'm living in Brasil; only PR around, and yet there's no shortage of crime here... Boxing is a sport, not a war for the survival of a people. I treat it as such. I rooted for Mayweather against Cotto. Whatever that makes me in anyone's eyes, that's fine by me. I love a certain style of fighter; hit and don't get hit. I love ANY fighter that is a master of that style (i also value heart). A fighter's loud mouth doesn't necessarily make me like them more (or less), but it's a trait that is present in fighters of all races. And i have seen the whole spectrum of personality types in all shades of people... I still call bullshit on your statement, but do so with all due respect. In the end, we can agree to disagree. As far as I'M concerned? Que viva la raza... I love the food, the music, the women of Mexico... and Blood In Blood Out is my shit. P. S. Boricuas have a few wins in the Mexico-Puerto Rico boxing rivalry too. The courage of your "enemy" does you honor. Peace.
@@estebangarcia102 You are so right my friend I'm mexican and I'm 100% in agreement with you Cotto was a quiet boxer that did his talking with his fists.
Good analysis. Check out his bout against Roberto Castanon, one of the few to frustrate Sanchez. The dipping overhand right didn't work as well against the shorter Castanon, who usually didn't take the bait. But as always, Sanchez methodically adjusted and found ways to pick apart any opponent.
You have just blessed the rest of the world with the legacy of the great Salvador Sanchez
First time seeing this guy, his footwork and rhythm is a thing of beauty
Lo mas cercano a la perfección,dichosos aquellos que fuimos testigos de su grandeza🥊🙏🏻
One of the greatest fighters I ever saw.
A true artist.
He’s like the Big L or Clifford Brown of Boxing.
All time great, gone way too soon. 🙏
So young! The thought of what he could have been makes me genuinely sad... And I only found out about him, right now... Great video...
I'm back for another viewing. You put together a great video of a great fighter. He was amazing!
He looks like Bruce Lee's Boxing brother!
I've always said, Sanchez is "The Mexican Bruce Lee."
Salvador just KO the greatest African Boxer of all times (Azuma Nelson) and the greatest Puerto Rican boxer of all times (Wilfredo Gomez)
timephire never actually thought of that comparison lol so accurate
Bruce Lee is movie carácter with no real fights,Salvador Sanchez was a real fighter,fighting real fights..there’s no comparison.
