PBC FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS: Chavez vs Sanchez May 2, 2026

In a thrilling battle between unbeaten super bantamweights, Jose “Tito” Sanchez (16-0, 10 KOs) left with his “0” intact by knocking out Jorge Chavez (15-1-1, 8 KOs) at 2:30 of the 10th round. It was a brilliant display by Sanchez, who wouldn’t be denied against a Chavez many had pegged as a future champion.

“I’m so excited,” Sanchez said afterward. “I showed everyone what I was capable of on Cinco de Mayo weekend with the Mexican style. I hope to get a title shot eventually.”

The momentum oscillated with each stanza, as Chavez refused to take a backward step. That ultimately was his undoing, with Sanchez picking him apart from the outside and stepping in to land hard shots to the head and body.

In the 10th, Sanchez dropped Chavez twice to ultimately put him away. At the time of the stoppage, Sanchez was up 86-85 on two cards with a third judge having it 86-85 for Chavez.

“I’m disappointed, but I’m glad the crowd enjoyed the fight,” said Chavez. “At the end of the day, we are Mexicans and we gave it everything we had. I feel like it was everybody’s night, but mine.

“The best man won today. No excuses. Back to the drawing board and I’ll try to do better next time.

“Not much was different than when we fought as amateurs. We displayed more power, and I had a high boxing IQ, picking my shots.

“I hope to get a title shot, eventually.”
