Lol Looks like Haymon is setting Chavez Jr for Stevenson, so Stevenson can have a reason to run away from Kovalev.

Am just glad chavez is accepting that he is a light heavyweight and that draining down in weight was only weakening him and making him slow with no energy. Chavez will surprise people at this weight, I think he puts a beating on fonfera

I just wanna see Jr fight again. He has a lot of potential, he just needs to get his act together.

Fonfara shouldn't drain down to 172, he's been only barely making 175.

Fun fight.

going down, what a crap. fonfara is a big lh, he gonne be exhausted at sm

What's the point in a catchweight when Chavez will probably struggle to make 172 himself.
They should just fight at 175

Am I missing something? What happened to the Chavez/Froch fight?

The fight we've all been waiting for. Never expected Jr to fight Froch, he's more of a bullcrap artist when it comes down to actually signing contracts for fights he runs off at the mouth about.

Froch has an elbow injury, though it does seem iffy that they found a new opponent so quickly

It's funny how many people like Chavez Jr. The kid is clearly a spoiled little dink but everyone loves to watch him fight. He's one of my favorites and I have no idea why, lol. His chin is ridiculous and he throws bombs so i guess that's probably why i like him. I also like that he's moving up to LH. It will be interesting to see him with energy to fight 3 minutes of every round. You can't do that when your dropping 20 lbs during fight week.

The last time Chavez fought at a catchweight, the weight limit had to get moved up a couple of times and then he still didn't make weight. He has also been caught using diuretics to make weight in the past so I have my doubts that JCC Jr will make 172.
