Javier “Chunty Boy” Torres
Hyperstrike FC 2 lit up Casino Royale in Sint Maarten on Saturday, December 6, delivering a night packed with international talent. Fighters from Colombia, Brazil, Curaçao, the United States, and Mexico stepped into the cage, but the matchup that stole the spotlight featured Mexican American MMA veteran Javier “Chunty Boy” Torres against Honduras’ own Walter “Showtime” Luna.
Torres Shows No Rust After Four-Year Layoff
Many wondered how Torres would look after stepping away from active competition for four years. Since then, he has focused on training champions in Arizona. Across the cage stood Luna, an experienced fighter ranked #1 in Honduras last year and #65 in Latin America at middleweight, according to Tapology. The fight began with a respectful glove touch, but the intensity spiked instantly.
A Fast-Paced Fight Ends Early
Luna charged in with a wild swing, only for Torres to counter with a clinch, forcing a gritty struggle against the cage. Both fighters opened up at the four-minute mark of Round One. Luna fired combinations, but Torres answered with a sharp knee to the ribs, followed by a body kick that temporarily sent him to the mat.
Torres recovered fast, walked Luna down, and began showcasing his signature dirty boxing. Locking Luna in a tight clinch, Torres unleashed a brutal knee to the face that sent Luna spinning and collapsing to the canvas. Torres followed with relentless ground-and-pound until Luna tapped at the 2:15 mark, sealing a decisive first-round victory.
Inside the Danger Podcast Interview
Earlier this week, Torres joined Julio Molina on the Danger Podcast for an exclusive talk about his return. He credited his daughter for inspiring one more fight and spoke of his enduring passion for MMA. Torres highlighted his work training top fighters like UFC heavyweight Waldo “Salsa Boy” Cortes-Acosta, BKB standout Julian “Pit Bull Jr.” Fernandez, and Chilean champion Christopher “El Tanke” Ewert. With new goals, renewed discipline, and a bold promise of more first-round finishes, “Chunty Boy” Torres is far from done.
