Thread: JCC Junior's next fight

Junior middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. returns to headline a Top Rank PPV card April 26 in Mexico. Top Rank's Bob Arum told ESPN.com that Chavez will face Italy's Michele Orlando (35-5-2, 18 KOs). Orlando has won five in a row since February 2006, when he was stopped in the 10th round by Michel Trabant (who recently appeared on HBO and was blown out by Andre Berto).

JCC is too inconsistent for me. He looks good in 1 fight then looks bad in the next one.
I mean look at his last fight he looks really good at the start then almost fades out completely. Just standing there not doing much and waiting around. Some people call that patience I call it loosing rounds... due to inactivity.

I do like the fact that his opponents quality is going upward and that's good for him.

I like the fact that Chavez is fighting on a regular basis

I read somewhere that people think his little brother is a more serious prospect, Omar I think? Anybody seen him fight?

Ive Heard that to about Omar, but he is still young. But Jcc jr is slowly but surely moving up in competition, he is still a young fighter and most guys at that point in his career arent on ppv cards like that either

He has 6 fights. I seen his last 2. And he looks like a real good prospect. But it's still early

I really em not impress by JCC jr atleast not yet. he is staying active and i don't know if thats a good thing for a young fighter or not. For his age should he really have that many pro fights already? I know he didn't have much of an amatuer background but was it a last minute thing that they'd figure ooh since your dad is a boxing legend go ahead be a pro now. Didn't he planned early enough to be a boxer to have amature fights? I don't even think his specially strong, I doubt he'll be much in the future unless he starts sharppening up and not just getting the $$$$ for all the pamperred fights for him. This really won't help building up a fanbase either cause guys would rather see him ktfo then win if he keeps up the pace his at. I rather see him train and take his time to develope instead of staying too active but only fighting bums for an easy paycheck. Well I don't know maybe he will get better beating on bums until his 30 and with 90 pro fights

hell his dad is about the best fighter to ever come out of Mexico and he had bout 40 odd fights before fighting anybody worth mentioning

Bring on Ronald Hearns for JCC jr?

Omars more athletically build, moves more better handspeed and footwork but JCC Jr. is more schooled and more mature in the ring.

YouTube has several Omar Chavez fights if you run a search you'll find them.

i tend to get the impression that most people like Omar more than Jr. cause he looks a lot more like his father than Jr., both in body structure and in style of fighting

I think some people like Omar better as another reason to knock Chavez Jr

i like JCC Jr, hope he does good this year

I saw his last fight.

Looks like he has some serious power in those body shots.

It was a blowout anyway so i can't really comment on his all around skills....just his power.
