Stopping a durable fighter like LeHoullier in one round gets my respect. Ive been very critical of Jr., but tonight he proved to be a legit prospect by taking out a solid fighter like Jason the way that he did. Yes, JCC Jr. is still flawed in some areas, but it is clear, at least to me, that he is improving.
He made a solid fighter look like a bum.. for that i must say.. im very impressed.
Honestly I thought LeHoullier was going to be the undoing of JC Jr., I am very surprised (and encouraged) to hear of this result.
good job Jr., i have been backing Chavez Jr for most of his career but i had kinda lost a bit of faith in him before last night, he just refused to step up the competition and had struggled against sub par opponents, he finally took a step up and made it look like nothing, just hope he keeps improving and continues to keep moving forward and taking on better opponents, think a fight between him and K-9 Bundrage would be interesting, and a winnable fight for him at that
Nice Left Hook. He looked huge compared to LeHoullier.
He did look massive compared to Lehouiller. Hopefully they step his competition level up, I'd like to see him fight Duddy, but I still don't think he's world class.
It was a beautiful left hook. Reminded me of the one Oscar caught Vargas with. Jr. looks a lot more comfortable and composed in there than he has in the past. He has grown into a big/strong guy for his weight.
thing is that Jr is mixing up punches that he usually doesn't use, there was the beautiful left hook, then he set up a nice right uppercut after the jab, then followed up with a left upper, and finally the crisp overhand right, IMO he should try and seek help from Steward, he was able to help his dad tighten up his defense a bit, and be a bit more strategic, and given Jr's build he could be an awesome fighter from the outside
That was a good finish,dedicated to the left hook and closed the show.Lehoullier an ok club circuit guy but once he started facing guys with winning records its not been so good,including the draw that should have been an "L".Chavez jr gets bigger and bigger it seems.
