Richard Torrez Jr says he's ready to show the world what he's made of this weekend when he faces Guido Vianello.

Top Rank previews this weekend's heavyweight fight between Richard Torrez Jr (12-0, 11 KOs) and Guido Vianello (13-2-1, 11 KOs) this Saturday in Las Vegas with a behind the scenes look at the training camps of both fighters.

"I've been ready, I've been asking, I've been eager to show the world what I have to offer and I think this is a great fight to be able to do so," Torrez would say about the matchup. "I think he's a great boxer, he utilizes distance and he has some very long punches but with that being said I think my style is made for that. I like being inside, I like staying inside, and I like having a fight."

Torrez holds his camp in the altitude of Colorado Springs while Vianello ends his camp in Las Vegas, and with Vianello having rebounded from a split decision loss to Efe Ajagba last year to stop Arslanbek Makhmudov, he reflects on the lessons learned.

"Was very important for me, the fight," Vianello said. "Was my first 10 round fight with a strong opponent. I learned that I have to use my jab in the middle of the fight and I didn't. So that fight was the most important fight for me. So a loss is more important than a lot of wins sometimes, like this time. Thanks to Efe for this fight because I'm a different guy now."
