  • Silva did beat one pothead. But that was in the UFC.

    Sadly, Silva will be getting smoked in this fight.

  • I’ve been waiting my whole life for this fight…. Finally a boxer v a mixed martial arts legend. Striker V Striker. Two stone cold legends

  • Amazing Chavez Jr. still under daddy’s wing to get fights since he could not cut it in the real divisions of fighters. A typical case of affluenza syndrome with a spoiled child catered by his father.

    • It’s Chavez Sr. last fight. Let him go out with his kids on the card.

  • “Former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr….”
    – He won a belt? Where was I?

    • Yep. He beat 30-0 Sebastian Zbik to win the title. Defended against Peter Manfredo, Marco Antonio Rubio, Andy Lee (whom Chavez stopped), before losing to Sergio Martinez in an exciting fight. He was something like 47-0-1 heading into the Martinez fight. People seem to forget that Chavez Jr. had a nice little run back in 2011-2012.

      For those who haven’t seen it, check out round 12 of Chavez Jr-Sergio Martinez. Chavez Jr. was WAY behind, and nearly pulled the miracle that his Father puller against Meldrick Taylor. Good Stuff.

      • Good points. Why I agree he received the benefit of a lot of doubts, Chavez Jr. beat some decent fighters. He also beat John Duddy who was a prospect at one time and had close fights with Carlos Molina who later had a good run.. He never was the same after the Martinez loss. I agree that he is no Hall of Famer and was never a pound for pound level fighter, but anyone who accomplished what he has without having the famous name would be considered someone who was a decent fighter.

        • Agreed Pete. I thought he was a solid fighter with a good resume. His reputation took a beating after that Fonfara fight, then more so after Jacobs, but it doesn’t change the fact that he managed to win a belt and defend it a few times. He has some very good wins on his record.

  • “PPV price is $39.99”
    – Not paying 40 cents, let alone $40 for this garbaaaage.
