Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was simply too scared to pull the trigger, according to his Hall of Fame trainer Nacho Beristain.

Nacho knew that contest was going to be a tough task, but he expected his fighter to at least do better.

"It was really negative, everything, totally, we did not win a round. It is not possible to cover the sun with a finger, Canelo Alvarez is simply better technically speaking," Nacho said to ESPN Deportes.

"I asked him to throw punches, simply to throw punches but he was afraid to throw a jab or a certain combination because he knew that three or four punches would come back in return, and those doubts were born in his head real early and they stayed with him for the entire fight."

"[I don't blame the fans for being frustrated with is performance], they are quite right in feeling that way, and I feel the same way too, and he must also be frustrated, his father too, everyone. He should apply himself and he should behave like a boxing pro and success will come to him."

A fighter never blames his trainer and a trainer never blames the fighter...that's a rule. Both happened after this pathetic fight.

I couldn't care less what Nacho says because he's one of the most overrated trainers in history but Chavez Jr is all done. This performance was ALMOST as bad as quitting in the corner in between rounds. That's 2 strikes in primetime bouts so no one will be putting any money down to watch this kid fight any longer. I'm just glad it's the last time i have to look at SR's ugly skeleton face yelling at ringside.
