The legendary Julio César Chavez is part of the telecast of ESPN Deportes to cover the Canelo-Kovalev fight. Canelo is trying to become a world titleholder in his fourth weight division.
“I have a great deal of respect for Canelo, he is a great fighter with great fighting skills. He is always trying to get better, to work harder, and to challenge himself,” said Chavez. “It will be a difficult fight for Canelo. Kovalev’s jab and his punching power are a great asset in his arsenal, but Canelo has the head movement, the technique, the mental strength, and Canelo goes very good to the body and remember if you kill the body the head will fall.”
Of course Chavez would favor and have confidence in choosing Alvarez to win over Kovalev since they are from the same neck of the woods…..
SCOOBY DOO YOU REALLY KNOW BOXING ,CANELO ALVEREZ WILL WIN HANDS DOWN ,NO QUESTION ABOUT IT .PUT YOUR MONEY ON HIM
You are CORRECT!
Even if Canelo gets knocked out cold….Oscar and the WBC will find a way to give him the victory. 🙂
Of course he will. He’s the most protected fighter in the world. Judges got his back.
FACT
I remember when Chavez Jr and Canelo were gonna fight and they both promised an all out slugfest. A Mexican war that we won’t ever forget. Of course it was more a love fest with hugging and holding. It was more of a glorified sparring match at best. THAT was when I realized Canelo and Chavez Jr became sell outs to the public.
Because that’s relevant to the article
Same o’l song with these haters. But you have to find it funny and I hope that is what they’re trying to do, be funny.
“I have a great deal of respect for Canelo, he is a great fighter with great fighting skills. He is always trying to get better, to work harder, and to challenge himself,” said Chavez.
LOL, LMFAO!
If Canelo was REALLY interested in “challenging” himself…….he’d of fought Beterbiev, Callum Smith, Charlo or Andrade!
Chavez was a GREAT GREAT champion but as an objective boxing commentator, he’s lacking.
Really? The Charlo brothers would challenge him? Boring Andrade?
Notice how Canelo fans got a bug up their ass when these two names come up. You’ll had no issue when Clenelo was “challenging” himself against Chavez jr, Smith or even Fielding. Real fans know that ‘boring’ is now synonymous with ‘supreme athleticism’. Its not boring when Lemo or Josh Taylor does it right? Coincidental list is a reality.
Tools? Clenbuterol?
Mexican national? Or Irish/Scottish genetic throwback?
The tool is called spiked beef meat! I think JC had some of that too! xD
Chavez sr. is exactly right!!! The 2 judges that are bought courtesy of DLH are the TOOLS he needs.
IF Enter the ring in their best fighting condition. KOVALEV will win.
This fight can easily goes as Mike Garcia vs. EsPences Jr. Canelo just trying to avoid K.O
