Chavez Jr/ Froch OFF.

[ykdadamaja]

Apparently Froch hurt his elbow and called the fight off. Chavez Jr. will fight Andrez Fonfara in April instead. Catchweight 172... is this the step into the LH division that Chavez Jr. is looking for?

[p4pking]

Hadn't heard it was officially on? Sucks for Froch, he's said he really wanted to fight in Vegas, Chavez was about the best name/payday for as little risk as he'd get fighting anybody. If it's a bad injury he might just retire, I still hope to see him against Golovkin though.

Chavez is lucky this fight has been called off. Chavez JR is a very good fighter. He's just not as tough as Froch. Carl would break him down round by round and then end things around the 10th or so. On the other hand Froch is getting old and needs to have only two more fights and walk away like Calzaghe did.

Chavez Jr. actually wanted it this time. lol... he wasn't ducking or anything. But, Froch hurt his elbow and Chavez Jr. needed an opponent, so Fonfara it is. Which is a good fight for Junior for the business aspect of it- because now he can campaign between 160 and 175 at catch weights and make a helluva lot of money!

The money man between 160 to 175 is Junior... whether we like it or not. Aside from Cotto, not a soul is gonna draw you any money. From GGG, to Ward, to Stevenson to Kovalev...

Chavez can pick the litter and make heaps of cash. Win, lose or draw!

I wonder if Chavez Sr. makes his son give him a % of all his earnings, since they are really his

Catchweight Like its going to matter when Chavez stacks on 20 lbs before the bell.

If not for "day before" weigh ins, Junior would've been parking cars for a living a long time ago.

This is old news Chavez Jnr is fighting Fonfara

[brocktonblockbust]

I predicted back in January that this fight will not happen. Good thing for Chavez as he would be in a wheelchair

And he doesn't deserve the shot. Fonfara will beat him up anyway.

I totally agree with that. he does not deserve it in any way shape or form. And I cannot wait for Fonfarah to kick him from pillar to post

Hadn't heard it was on either. What happened to all the Froch/Ward mega fight in the UK?

That came after the Chavez Jr fight for Froch was going to be off for sure and a renegotiation through the WBA can set a later date OTHER THAN April for Froch to fight. By that time Ward should be back in full swing.

Froch hurt? Sounds like old age is catching up with him. A young Cobra I'd imagine wouldn't let this slip away. Many a legends have won some great battles entering with injuries they kept to themselves.

As far as Fonfara: has he improved lately? I've seen him fight live about 3 years ago and just wasn't impressed.
