Yup, this is a no brainer. Maybe Chavez Jr. can ride off in the sunset after this fight and quit embarrassing himself and his family over lack of discipline as a fighter. What a joke! Spoiled brat syndrome.
Chavez Jr. boxing career was built based in lies. Always was said same before a fight, whether by his trainer, promoter, his father, other people around him or himself: Training camp was very good, like never before and so on. Then the truth start to come to the surface, beginning with the weight in and concluding after the fight. Chavez Jr. should leave boxing and try another way for a living
The WBO President Francisco Varcarcel has been quoted as saying that the Williams vs Fox fight is not a final eliminator for their middleweight belt.
I get that Chavez jr. sucks and all but .. I’m surprised the odds look the way that they look. I mean, weight is important in boxing. Jacobs is definitely the more skilled of the two but he does get a little winded after throwing punches.. Chavez can apply a lot of pressure and will be stronger than he was against canelo. I’m not saying Chavez will win.. I’m saying that if he can survive Jacobs early based on his size alone he can have a shot later on. Odds should be a little closer but still Jacobs should win this fight. Anything close to heavyweight fighters have a punchers chance. I won’t watch the fight but I’ll check on here to see what happened.
there is a lot of sense in what you are saying. Martinez was whooping him like a runaway slave and still almost got knocked TF out in the 12 round when JCC Jr finally caught his second win.
I get the Chavez hate, but to me this time he looks in shape. He has too big of a frame to make 168, and not enough juice to ko people at 175 – which is where he should be.
Regardless, he’s in good shape and a live underdog although I think Jacobs wins a boring UD.
