Everything was going the way Frank Sanchez envisioned it. The heavyweight contender was thorouhgly outboxing Nagy Aguilera on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders earlier tonight at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
While Aguilera was clearly overmatched, the heavyweight fringe contender showed no quit. Well, up until he did.
