Boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez and Hector Camacho Jr. came face to face Tuesday to announce their PPV exhibition fight that will take place on Saturday, June 19th at The Jalisco Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico
Julio Cesar Chavez: First I said no, because he is too young for me. But when they told me it was a tribute to my great friend (Camacho Sr.), who is in heaven, I accepted immediately. Between Mexico and Puerto Rico there has always been a great rivalry, but “Macho” Camacho never bothered my family, he never offended me or used rude words. And we became great friends, I love him to heaven, he knows it. Although now he must be angry about the beating I’m going to give his son.”
Hector Camacho Jr: “I have been waiting for the opportunity for this fight for years. I will be well prepared, very skinny as you like. This fight is going to be days before the anniversary of my father’s death, so it will be a very emotional fight for me.”
This is a farce.
wow
look how fit Chavez sr. is
look how Fat Camacho Jr. is
Lets see a Chavez Sr vs Chavez Jr 10-12 round fight my money is on Sr.
Camacho Jr: This fight is going to be days before the anniversary of my father’s death, so it will be a very emotional fight for me.”
Actually Camacho’s father died the month of November.
Hahahaha wow, he doesn’t even know when his own father died?? What a joke!!
Simply a “wow!” to your statement….
Camacho looks like a bridgerweight.
LMAO!!!
Must be the money . Boxing doesn’t need this. Chavez is a legend. He or any other legend should have to put themselves out like this. Boxing owes them. Just give him some money.
100% totally agree, PPV?
I think Hector Jr. might seriously want to start considering salads.
Easy to criticize, but this is just an exhibition. There are people who will pay money to see Chavez back in the ring, just like there were those who paid to see Tyson back in the ring. I have little interest in exhibitions, but I can see how some people would like to get a glimpse of how a legend carries himself in the ring. Camacho, Jr hasn’t fought competitively for quite some time, and doesn’t at all look in fighting condition, but in the spirit of his father, he’s participating with the legend. Not something that I would pay to see, but for those who do find it worthy, more power to them.
Camacho Jr. is sporting his old mans hairline curl!
