“Son of the Legend” Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is ready to return to the ring tonight in Culiacán, México, against Jeyson Miranda.
“I will come back strong now I have two fights under my belt. I have more rounds. I haven’t stopped training even when they did me dirty in my last fight. My main focus is me, it doesn’t matter who my opponent is or was. I have to be ready and I am ready,” said Julio Jr.
“It’s been tough, what we’ve been through, but I just want to fight and I’m not making plans for the future, but I’ll keep fighting and fighting. That’s what I want to do.
“I will be fighting between 175 and 168 pounds, I think I’m really a super middleweight, but If it’s a title fight I will make 168 if not I will fight at 175 pounds. It all depends, but I just want to let you know that I will be world champion again!”
Champion of Culiacán tacos.
Jnr’s been on the weed again….. Must be a super potent strain.
him versus lemieux at 168 for the vacant wbc let by benavidez, i got lemieux XD problably by brutal ko
And this because they are both top 10 ranked in the division? Casual comment…
chavez is the nephew of the president of the wbc, he dont need to be ranked to have big fight
Snr must have turned off the tap & now Jr needs some pesos
Delusions of grandeur….say no more…
Jr. is all done, sure he’ll get some tomato cans to fight but will end up being a stepping stone for young and hungry fighters… Your end is coming soon… better start winning to prove me wrong…
Typical Chavez fight-
Turns to ref, rounds 1-3, crying..
“Ref, he keeps hitting me in the face with his fists”
Round 4 – “I quit. Pay me now.”
I have no doubt he’ll be a “champion” again someday. He’ll probably fight someone with as much talent as me and look good doing it. It won’t be me though…unless he agrees to a catch weight of 235. I can make 235 if they ever open the local gym again! Lol!
Yeah, the only way this guy will be champion again is if he gets a heart transplant.
He should just ask his Dad to tell the WBC to create a title for him. Interim, emeritus, super-duper bogus champion perhaps?
Hopefully the WBC hasn’t seen this comment-title would probably be there for his next fight.
Chavez, Jr. has to learn talk is cheap when unsupported by legitimate planning, effort and will power – it results in verbal “blah blah.”
The word “champion” doesn’t carry much weight here. Conceivably, could Chavez Jr. grab up some interim/gold/silver/diamond version of some belt? Yes he could. The real question is whether or not he can actually beat a top 15ish guy between 168-175. I don’t think he can. Instead, I think he’ll spend the rest of his career fighting lower level guys and when he’s beaten enough of them, a Daniel Jacobs, David Lemieux or Badou Jack type will come with a nice payday. He’ll fight that fight and lose it and then do it all over again for the next 3-4 years.
GO AWAY!!!
Omyyyyyy
Too heavy and Too late
Yeah, that is possible, the WBC may even create a belt just for him. My choice is the ” Chavez BS belt”.
I am interested to get Keith Thurman’s views on the biggest fight and I am in agreement with what he has pointed out. It’s going to be a special n memorable night for Billy Joe Saunders and Errol Spence jnr?!I will be having a small wager on the champion double. Well not too small!!!
