"Nacho Reveals That He Nearly Left Chavez Jr. After Argument"

Hall of Fame trainer Nacho Beristain revealed that he had a verbal clash at the ongoing training camp with former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The came is taking place at the Otomi Ceremonial Center in Mexico.

Their dispute got to the point where Nacho told Chavez Jr. that he would not accompany him to Las Vegas for the scheduled fight with Canelo Alvarez, which takes place on May 6th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

According to Nacho, their dispute began because Chavez Jr. wanted to finish their camp this week in the Otomí to travel to Mexico City or Las Vegas to finish up the rest of the camp.

However, Nacho asked him to stay until April 28-29 because he did not want to spoil the month and a half work they've already had at 3,200 meters above sea level.

Nacho made it clear that he would not be working the corner if Chavez Jr. left Otomi. Chavez Jr. has often been criticized by some of his past trainers for doing whatever he wants in camp.

"That annoyed me a lot (that Chavez Jr. wanted to finish camp early at Otomi). I told him he was wrong, we've been in here for a month and a half and on a whim he wants to ruin the job. I'm not playing around, I'm a professional. I told him, 'I'm not going to Las Vegas like this.' He convinced himself that I'm not playing around and then he told me he's fine, whatever I say," Nacho told ESPN Deportes.

"I just told him I did not agree with that decision, it's stupid to spoil everything we've worked for. We still have two weeks of hard work.

Nacho said that regardless of the outcome of May 6, he hopes to work with Julio from now on.

"I told him that I want him to have at least six months of working with me and I'm going to make him into a different fighter."

Sounds like bullshit. Nacho isn't really the type to broadcast a disagreement to a blogger after it's settled a couple weeks before a fight.

Maybe to throw people off?

Sounds like Nacho wants to re invented Chavez Jr. into a lean mean fighting machine.

I'm going to stick with bullshit.

I'm going to stick with bullshit.

- Always knew that to be what you were stuck to, so I'm reaffirmed to see you confess to sticking with "it" in your own words. Takes a big man with big bowels and all that...

[BAD INTENTIONS]

Chavez Jr has made every trainer feel that way at one point.
So I think it could be real.

Dude should not be a top level athlete, making top level dollars.

Further proof that hard work is shit compared to luck.

Yes, fortune has been kind to Chavez with respect to who his father is, although even if he had elite talent that would be down to luck too.

Pretty much any world class athlete is very lucky to have the abilities they do.
