Pavlik/Espino & Soto/Chavez Thread

[JazMerkin]

Chavez comes out firing for another round firing, has Soto on the ropes & for the first time actually slipped a punch or two. Soto brings it back to the centre though with some nice straights. Competitive again, but once more it's a Soto round.

69-62 Soto (forgot about the point deduction before)

[JazMerkin]

Some excellent counter-punching by Soto here. Chavez just keeps coming though. Soto is making this round easier for himself, I know he's doing less, but he's having the fight on his terms. Gets a little punch in after the bell.

79-71 Soto

[Kel]

This last round should be good.

[JazMerkin]

Soto looking more comfortable again & some nice punches from Chavez there. He's forcing Soto back into a fight, but there's some lovely left hooks to the body from Soto. I think Chavez is doing more here now, but Soto trying to nick it at the end. Another punch after the bell from Soto.

89-80 Soto

Sotos gut looks exploitable,looked bothered at times.good but ugly fight.Have had enough Chavez now.

[JazMerkin]

What is likely the final round of Jesus Chavez's career sees them both surprisingly cagey. Chavez trying to walk him down, whilst Soto looks to box out the win. Perfect straight right from Soto but Chavez doesn't blink & keeps on. Soto explodes in the last half-minute, but Chavez won't go down & Soto can't stop him. It might be a Soto round for many, but Chavez did more early & my sentimentality gives it him.

98-90 Soto

Done. As long as that Black Panther wannabe Jaz isn't in there again.

Yeah, whatever Adolf

Decent fight, Chavez should probably retire now. 3 losses on the trot and pushing 38. He should go out with his head held high.
