Any thoughts on this??
This should surely be a very close fight. And if it is a close fight, the nod should go to JCC jr . If it was in Germany ,i'd probably side with Zbik since he may have a small advantage in hand speed and would be in his home country, but since its in the USA , Chavez's harder shots should get him a close decision win.
I'm predicting the upset and IMO Zbik is gonna win by UD
I don't think it'll be a major upset if it's an upset is because JCC is more popular than Zbik. I mean lets be honest here who is jcc's best opponent?
It's not like jcc is a world beater you know he still coming up in the rankings.
If Zbik moves around and boxes while using the ring well I think he can pull off the win. If Zbik engages and tries to trade punches with jcc I think jcc has enough experience in that style of fight to pull off the win.
I see this being the type of fight where Zbik wins 7 rounds and we all agree that he did, but the judges give it to Jr. Very difficult for Zbik as he isn't a powerful puncher. He really needs to do some damage to Jr. to get the win.
I'm not a fan of Jr, but if he were to legitimately win I would be happier than if Zbik should get the win and doesn't get the decision.
i hope jr destroys this guy, jr is way too disrespected imo.
I'm glad this fights happening. After tonight we should hopefully be able to put to rest all the doubt about whether JC Jr has it or not. If he gets a convincing win I think we can safely say he belongs at the top echelon and can probably hang with anyone in the division except Martinez. If he doesn't then Zbik gets some good exposure in America.
Look at the ESPN middleweight rankings. Zbik is ranked 5th. There's almost no star power in the line up. Do we know for a fact that JC Jr is that much worse than Rubio or Andy Lee? If not, then this matchup isn't as undeserved as a lot of people are saying.

In any case, give the kid a chance to prove himself and by this time tomorrow we'll know for sure.
Chavez Jr wins tonight. He's got too many advantages over Zbik, mainly outside of the ring. Hopefully he'll rise to the occasion and stop Zbik.
It's an evenly matched up bout so either guy can win and it wouldn't be an upset. I was never high on jr but I dont mind him at all really. I was actually surprised by how he handled himself against Duddy and I see him making subtle progress after each fight. He's not a horrible fighter considering how he had to learn on the fly with no amatuer pedigree.
Chavev Jr UD Zbik
Well this is JCC jr's point of no return, I think from here on he's gonna have to fight real quality opponents.
Zbik is landing alot of quality punches but he seriously can't crack an egg. Had he had any real muster on those punches, Jr would have been in deep trouble by now.
OOOHHH, JCC2 did the that dont hurt shakira shake. I gotta think he's gonna break Zbik down.
I think JCC2 just took the fifth, he has turned this into his fight, and Zbik lost his footing at the end of the round.
I think Zbik is gonna get dropped if he keeps fighting this type of fight.
Zbik needs to get on his bike.
Zbik just got rocked, I think its prbably about 4-3 Zbik right now, I missed the first 2 rounds.
Chavez really need to bang this fucker out and show he's got what it takes, eeking out a decision isnt going to prove much for him.
Better round there for Zbik...he didn't lay on the inside as much. Just a matter of time before he gets a point taken away for holding Jr's head.
I foresee a cheap deduction in the future, but I still think Zbik wilts here soon.
Zbik is taking alot of bodyshots, he is sucking wind.
What's the compubox record for most body shots in a fight :confused::D;D
Chavez Jr sucks. Zbik outworked his man and in the final few rounds Chavez was running in with his head low swinging like a crude dog to the body. That is not boxing and the ref was always blaming Zbik for holding his head down. Well, what else could he do?
A decent puncher knocks Chavez Jr the fuck out. Put him in with Martinez so that I can have a laugh. Or even Pavlik.
I disagree with the result ;) ...punchstats are on my side...
Ronald Hearns has a chance to hold a piece of the MW title now. lolz
Battle of the mediocre sons.. Ive always wanted to see Chavez Jr VS Hearns..

If this fight would have been held in Germany, Jr would have had points taken away for repeated low blows, and Zbik wins the fight by 4 or 5 points.
Ronald Hearns is a better boxer than Chavez Jr.Quote:
