The decider: 10 years too late

The legendary Julio Cesar Chavez meets Frankie Randall on March 13 in Mexico. Ten years ago this month, Randall pulled off a massive upset when he floored and outpointed Chavez in Las Vegas to end the great Mexican's unbeaten run after 90 straight wins.
Four months later, Chavez won a controversial technical decision after an accidental headbutt in the eighth round left Chavez unable to continue.
A third fight looked a natural, but somehow never materialised. Until now.

Just tidying up his record for retirement.

Frankie is shot,

the win will make Chavez' record look better to future generations.

Chavez is probably shot too - what is he now, a middleweight? He's always loved a few San Miguel cervezas and he's been retired awhile now..
I hope this really is his farewell fight, and Randall too.
