I got Chavez Jr by stoppage around the 10th round.
That's very possible Bilbo, a lot of us however, would like to Canelo win, by KO would be even sweeter.
For me Canelo get hits too easily and too often. So far he hasn't fought any punchers but moving up to light middle he will be in with somebody bigger than himself.
I'm not sold on Canelo's power or skills yet. I can't shake off the memory of Matthew Hatton coasting the 12 rounds with him. Gomez was schooling him until the premature stoppage. He can improve, he's only young so foolish to judge him as if he's the finished article, but I've been impressed with Chavez lately. He's maturing into a decent fighter and in his last fight showed he has real heart and a desire to win.
This would be a great clash, and boxing heaven for those who like body punches. They will both have sore ribs the next day for sure.
