  • Hector Jr. is the best of the remaining Camachos. The only other Camacho that I am aware of is his brother Christian (aka MC). Christian is 9-1-1 with 1 KO. He lost his pro debut in 2013 and has looked like shit against fellow pedestrians.

  • Not to be rude, but the 58-year-old Chavez Sr. will have an easier time with Hector Jr, than he did with Hector Sr.

  • “Things heated up at a press conference between Julio Cesar Chavez and Hector “Machito” Camacho, Jr.”
    – Say it isn’t so………………………….

  • Fake confrontation to feed the hype, no doubt started by the pathetic Jr. So sick of this nonsense. I also don’t care for the younger generation showing disrespect for the older generation who came before them. Our society is really in the gutter. The Jrs (Camacho and Chavez) both are farcical shells of their fathers, and no amount of hype can change that reality. Camacho Jr should be incredibly respectful of the Mexican legend Chavez Sr, since without him, this exhibition wouldn’t happen.

    • You’re overthinking this way too much there grey bush! Relax, its not that serious.

  • This was a stupid choice of apponent for Chavez Sr. He and and Camacho JR come from a different generation of boxing and Camacho JR amounted to nothing as a pro. Chavez SR should be having an exhibition against someone like Jorge Paez, Azumha Nelson, Juan LaPorte or Barry McGuigan.

  • I hope the Juniors Chavez and Camacho end up fighting each other in a sanctioned fight. It is a fight that makes sense for both of them. I think people would be interested and an argument could be made for either to win. They have the names they may as well take advantage. I admit I like the circus…sometimes.

  • Chavez Jr vs Camacho Jr is next. It is a set up. This exhibition only gives both Jr’s time to train a little more since both are always out of shape.

    • Sergio Lira, not convinced they will ever fight. but they are two lazy always heavy, part time boxing participant

  • The circus only continues due to the fan base these two names have. All respect to in my opinion the greatest Mexican fighter of all time Chavez Sr. and a good argument of top 10 of all time, however an exhibition itself is an easy cash flow for both fighters with very minimal risk. As one can observe Camacho clearly looking out of shape but can run his gums to sale the fight and the Living Legend well past his prime, it only indicates the writing is on the wall of a nice payday for both men. At this point the Legend is having to carry Jr. to make money. On Saturday, Jr. is being matched with a UFC fighter in which it will showcase him as being very dominant in the public’s eye, however as the boxing die hards will know he is no where of a deserving fighter to catapult him into a big payday fight.

  • This is not a fight. Julio Sr. is taking Hector Jr out to lunch. As in, having him for lunch.

  • This has to be a horrible dream, that boxing has to wake up from. Exhibitions? This is what boxing fans get. So many great fights to be made but the top fighters avoiding each other.

  • Chavez will knock out Camacho he all mouth like his father talk shit no action Chavez will imbarrass both father n son dats FO SHO
