Chavez jr v Fonfara

[kidbazooka1]

Chavez tko of Lee in 5 is looking a lot better now that AL just fought to a draw with Quillin .

Fonfara is no joke tho he might be the biggest guy jr will have faced and gave a good acount of himself in the Stevenson loss.

Win or lose you know chavez will bring it unlike the the farce co main event this past Saturday.

Chavez looks to be taking training more serious these days. But who knows, he might jus be acting in front of the camera.

Yeah u just never know with the kid but when he does take it serious he usually shines.

But like I mentioned Fonfara is no joke and a big guy like Jr so the advantages Jr had at mw will be gone at lhw.

[crusader]

Looking forward to this. It will be interesting to see how Chavez fares against a pretty good sized LHW.

Actually, it was TKO 7. Vera also stopped Lee, but we know that Brian has never been that good. What differentiate both Chavez and Vera from Quillin is that they are not afraid to take a punch, while Quillin becomes very cautious after taking a few.

I think this fight will tell us whether or not JR will make a choice of staying at 175 or not, I'm pretty sure he struggles to make 68 as it is but it appears he's taking this pretty seriously because Fonfara is no pushover and a good test for Chavez (or is it vice versa)?

I'm hoping Fonfara gives him a beating so he will have to stay at 68 and face Ward who may have to move up himself. Jr is a big dude to his credit so I expect the weight thing to not be an issue for him.

I'm pulling for Fonfara but I won't be surprised if Jr beats him.

[Tarkus]

With his main advantage, size, gone what else has he got left. Judges helping him perhaps.

[kidbazooka1]

He's got his titanium chin, heavy hands, heart for a kid who grew up rich.

All that against much smaller men. Not at all same against someone your size.

[ikorolev]

... and his hands are not so heavy if he couldn't stop Vera in 24 rounds.

[Tarkus]

Could not stop Rubio either. The guy GGG dispatched in 2.

I have just checked and Chavez has 3 stoppages in his last 10 fights, all middleweights or smaller. Needless to say his power wont be a problem for Fonfara.

[kidbazooka1]

So this should be a cake walk for Fonfara right?

Jr has heavy hands hes just a lazy fuuck most of the time.

Fonfara wont bang with jr. he'll respect his power more than you guys are willing to believe.

Watch.

Just because Chavez is sht it doesnt mean its going to be a "cake walk". You have to look at the other side of the equation. And there is Fonfara, who is not exactly a master boxer. So it remains to be seen if pothead can outbox a stiff Pole. If it was Kovalev then yes, lights out round two.

Wow if chavez is "shiit" to you wonder what Andy lee or Quillin are for you.

Chavez Jr doesn't do too much for me.
I'm not particularly looking forward to the fight though I'll watch it, but I'm in no way pumped up.
He strikes me as an unmotivated boxer who doesn't care, half the time he comes into the ring grossly outweighing his opponents while his challenges in the sport are normally at the scales or gym trying to motivate himself.
To his credit he's been involved in some entertaining fights I'll give him that but it's normally against lower level opposition.
When he first started boxing as a pro I got behind him because he was always going to be somewhat written off being the son of his great father, so I thought lets give him a chance and show him some encouragement and for a while everything was ok.
But then he seemed to peak or show us his limitations and it was easier to know where to place him in the big scheme of things, then the laziness the weight and the attitude began started to surface which was when I started to drop him.
I remember he received the lions share of the purse against Sergio Martinez which I understand is because his name is the draw, but I couldn't help but be pissed off because this was Sergio Martinez a very accomplished fighter against a lazy overweight unmotivated and limited mid range boxer.
I felt it was quite an insult to Martinez and resented the fact Sergio had to give that up, but business is business and that's just the way it is.
Nevertheless the desperation of the pro Chavez opinion seemed odd as they scrambled to secure a rematch or some positive feedback when he knocked down Martinez late in the fight, one which saw Sergio Martinez win almost 99% of the 12 rounds.
Julio is 29 years old so there is still time to improve his career though it's difficult to remain optimistic when reports have suggested he was struggling with his weight, I'll keep an open mind and see how he fights on Saturday and take it from there.

Hey son I have already explained how Chavez beat likes of Lee, do you want me to draw you a picture. And obviously I used sht figuratively as in not very good.

WBC invented a new belt for Junior:

http://www.BS.com/wbc-chavez-f ... ake--89797?

The article also says that Chavez plans to contest the WBC world belt this year, but it doesn't say if it will be against Stevenson or Anthony Dirrell. Or maybe they will invent a new weight class for him ?

[kidbazooka1]

It will be at 177 1/2 lb a new weight class just for chavez, it will be called the "jr chavezweight"

Wba
ibf
Wbo

Will all jump on board

The haters will go nuts

If you invented that term, I am taking my hat off

... and I think that the weight limit will be floating while Junior will be bloating

[klitoris]

I heard the ticket sales for this are so bad that they are giving tickets away for free. Anyone who lives close to Stubhub get on it.

[ikorolev]

If they are fighting at the same time as Matthysse vs Provo, nobody will watch it on TV either.

[ikorolev]

Weights are in. Fonfara came at 171.4, so hopefully shaving off extra 3 pounds wasn't too hard.

Chavez gonna man handle pencil neck.

Just waite and see folks.
