Chavez Jr: I want to knock him out in 1 second!

By Przemek Garczarczyk

“I’m looking for a knockout,” said Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. before Saturday’s clash against MMA legend Anderson Silva. “I know he’s not a better boxer than me. For a reason – he boxed less. He’s 45, a little old, but Marquez knocked out Pacquiao when he was 42. I don’t want to talk about his age, but I want to work on his body – age affects the legs. First three rights you want to find out who is the fighter and who isn’t. But I also want to knock him out in the first second of the first round. It’s a real fight!”

  • Chavez Jr late in the 5th. Silva needs to retire from Boxing, MMA, and even kicking cans. Teaching / Coaching is what’s best for the MMA Hall of Famer To Be.

    • So what you’re saying is Silva needs to retire while we continue to watch the every so exciting Chavez Jr??

  • 1 sec, Julio Jr?

    Come into this fight, stoned, and you might be the one getting KTFO.

    Take it seriously, or your dad might have to give you the strap.

    • Yup, daddy carrying his weight for his son on attractions so he can make some cash. Daddy must help his son out since he can’t cut it in the top 10 of the world and quits on his stool in a “real” fight. Sorry, such a joke.

  • “Chavez Jr: I want to knock him out in 1 second!”

    Doesn’t everybody want to go in a fight and KO his opponent in one second?

  • Marquez was 39 when he KO’d Manny. Marquez was one of the best fighters at that time and possibly on PED’s. What does any of this have to do with Silva? He’s old, can’t box, never has boxed. Where is the correlation?

    • Don’t forget that Marquez also drank his own pee-pee too. Gross………..

    • So when Manny was knocking everyone out he wasn’t on PED’s? He was connected to Ariza just like “super Marquez” was.

  • So what he’s saying is, He’s going to go in there and give it his all 100% for 1 second, Then he’s gonna do like always and phone the rest of the fight in for the $$$$$$

  • Hopefully he gets the Canello rematch and a prime jr is 50-50 against Canello Would be a true Mexican war. At this point boxing needs a prime Chavez jr among others to save itself

    • You’re absolutely right. Chavez Jr vs Canelo would be so massive it would make all other combat sport irrelevant. We need Chavez jr to save boxing.

    • Boxing needs a prime Peter Manfredo Jr to come back and save boxing as well.

  • I was really looking forward to watching Spider fight Jnr. If it only lasts a second then I’m not sure it’s worth the $$$$

    Mayweather v Paul was great value as it went the distance (bang for buck) I have a runny nose and if it develops into a cold then I might be sneezing and if i sneeze I might miss it. I just don’t know what to do anymore?

  • I found Chavez Jr shorts disturbing to look at in this interview
