I am 4 rows back on the floor at the frank erwin center in Austin TX for the 4 big fights on pay per view.
Chavez trains at our gym. I have mixed emotions about him but I have to root for the hometown hero.

Thanks! I had an opportunity to chat with Hernandez and Leija 2 weeks ago. Hernandez is a really, really nice guy.
He's an LA guy that fought at the Forum back in the day. His wife is beautiful!
He doesn't have the mentality of a guy who brawls in the ring. Very, very nice guy that seems to be grounded.
He would be a great spokesman for Boxing.
I saw him and Chavez spar two weeks ago preparing for the fights and Chavez got the better of him on the first day and Hernandez seemed to get the better action the second. On both days the punches were creating wobbly legs. It was a lot of fun watching the two old timers squaring off again. In their previous "real" bout Chavez got the better of him and won a decision.
What a gift to have a guy like Chavez in my gym. That guy has true dedication.
I hope the best for both of them!
fights happening on my birthday?? :D
Ill be 22.. blech I feel old :eek:
Dude you think you have it bad? Wait until you're in your mid 30's and you are fighting guys 22. Then you know you're old. I actually hold my own with the ones at my level. But, the speed and energy is on a different level.Quote:

y'know a sneaky shot below the belt sure slows the kids down;D;)Quote:

I'll tell you what helps is using the "old Man" strength against them. Pulling down their head when they agressively come in, punching them hard to the chest, baiting them to punch me while i'm on the ropes and then turning them into them and leaning hard on them. Things like that seem to work well.Quote:

Knee brace? Nothing wrong with that... Your idol Jesus "EL MATADOR" Chavez wear one...Quote:

Not my idol. He just trains in my gym.
He's a nice guy but he doesn't fight the way I want to fight in the ring. I don't care to be that tough.
