I had no real expectations for this fight, but it turned out to be quite fun and Chavez fought well. Hopefully we are going to get less bums and see him in real fights.
Great fight between two limited fighters! A bit of Gatti vs. Ward about it in a small way.
Both guys showed heart, spirit and guts that far exceed their skills. True warriors!
My only thought left is... How much did Wayne McCullough sell his chin to John Duddy for?The lad is made of metal, haven't seen anyone take so many hard and flush shots for a while. I was sure Duddy was going to go from round 9 onwards, couldn't believe he made it to the end.
Credit to both fighters, and classy post-fight interviews too.![]()
WTFDid I just see chavez jr. In a possible FOTY....
Just for that Roach and Ariza get trainer and conditioner of the century......Im still in shock that I saw chavez jr in an entertaining fight.....
if chavez jr. keeps improving like this, he's going to be a world champion someday! all he ever needed was a good trainer and thankfully he's got one in roach. the fact that chavez jr. is only 24 years old, he has alot of time to improve. roach is smarter than everyone gives him credit for. he knows pacquiao is retiring soon and chavez jr. has a chance to be the new face of boxing after mayweather jr. and pacquiao. if roach can help chavez jr. bring out his potential, roach is sitting on an absolute gold mine. he and saul alvarez are potentially the next big things in boxing!

mad,
pacquiao's time is almost up, then what are you pacquiao fans gonna do? i mean, who do you have on the horizon? donaire? won't fight anybody his size! who? chavez jr. and canelo alvarez are two rising stars along with a bunch of other fighters. you just can't fathom the fact that philippine boxing is dead after pacquiao and mexican boxing will keep going and going and going.....![]()
