“I kind of knew right way. It’s one of those things where I need to be starting at the guy’s chest, not his head,” Torres said. “I lost my train of thought for half a second. I was coming a little too quick, and once I saw him pull up I was like, ‘oh man.’ It’s hard for me to pull out of those hits, but I know I can do it.
