“Son of the Legend” light heavyweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (53-6-1, 34 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over David Zegarra (34-7, 21 KOs) on Saturday night at the Palenque de la Feria Ganadera in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. Coming off his loss to UFC legend Anderson Silva, Junior landed the harder shots against the smaller Zegarra, who had been stopped in his last three. No scores were announced.
Wait.. what… Jr is still fighting? Whyyyyyyyyy……guess he needs that money for munchies
This must have been a thriller…
I watched it on AZTECA, mexican TV,,fights like this one is what tarnishes boxing,,it was upsetting to watch,,fight was made in Jr.’s backyard in Culiacan, vs. a small fighter, a super welter at most ballooned to light heavy, Jr. looked like a giant against this fighter from Peru that had lost his 3 last fights by KO vs unknowns. Jr. was visibly gassed from the 3rd round on, was outworked for most of the fight, never really hurt his much smaller opponent, and when it came decision time, they didn’t bother to read the judges scorecard, very quickly the ring announcer said; the winner by unanimous decision, J Chavez Jr.,,even the hometown crowd was stunned, upset, and booing. Patetic to say the least
Jr just a pathetic fighter. Not impressed in him beating this smaller guy, who never stood a chance.
and I don’t think Jr. deserved the decision, big time hometown decision, this journeyman out worked Jr.
Such a shame Chavez Jr. never did rise to the level his father did. Why? Chavez Jr. put in limited work after he got some experience, got lazy, loved his social life, and still whined he needed to make cash to support his party lifestyle. Yet, his father still backs him and tugs him along in making something with his name attached to it.
Scoob-Not many fighters out there do rise to the level as JCC, no shame in that. Why he’s still fighting is a good question though. He’s pretty much stated, and has certainly demonstrated that he is no longer interested in fighting. Maybe it’s the whole father/son dynamic where you perpetually want to please daddy. Especially since he bears the same name, Jr. was doomed from the start. Too much scrutiny and critisism in his career. He couldn’t make one move without the court of public opinion unloading on him. But yes, this fight sounds like it was a complete crock of shit!
Well said sir.
The state of boxing is very sad. Lots of Freak shows and bouts (like this one) that should never happen.
Lots of good fights out there but Junior is bad for boxing, because he quits unless he fights bums.
Can’t believe this good for nothing guy still around . Pampered by his father, he might end up getting a big money fight with Jake Paul. Don’t be surprised if that happens
NO COMMENT
“No scores were announced.”
– Then how do you know who won ??
Chavez Jr. long before they even step in the ring
They fought on the same day and I’m wondering if Chavez would be below Jake Paul’s level at this point. It would probably sell well but Paul would have to go to Mexico to make it happen because Jr. is on indefinite suspension in the States. Maybe Logan Paul would fight him.
Is this where we’re at in boxing now? Jake Paul is mentioned as an opponent for just about everybody!…If it were anybody else with the boxing credentials of Chavez Jr (After all, he is a former world champion), I would only assume they would beat the shit out of Jake Paul, but Chavez is such a weirdo, you never know. Let’s get back down to earth on Paul though-what he’s done in boxing in such a short time has been incredible, but he’s still never fought an actual boxer! Not a top 10, or top 100, or top 1,000 for that matter. He has never fought a boxer! Based on his confidence, momentum, and fearlessness, I’d say Jake Paul probably beats your average 6, maybe even 8 round prelim fighter. I really don’t think Paul could hang and bang with a proven, skilled and experienced boxer
Jake Paul would knock out Junior in a few rounds or Junior would make it easy and just quit against Jake Paul then complain about the referee.
Chavez jr vs jake paul…..i have to give it to jake paul for the win on this one! It would be a nice little crack money for jr.
Check out YouTube JCC Junior using illegal substances in his corner between rounds. Right up there with Panama Lewis. They barley tried to hide it.
