Julio Cesar Chavez Sr: Thank you for being on the lookout and worrying about my son Julio. Unfortunately, I confirm the news that spread today. My son Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was arrested and we are working together with his lawyers to resolve his legal situation.
It’s been a long road, but I don’t lose faith. I pray to God that this is the moment that finally propels my son towards a useful and happy life.
I ask for your understanding, [but] due to legal issues we cannot provide more information. His lawyer Guadalupe Valencia is with him at the moment.
Thanks for everything and blessings,
Julio Cesar Chavez
Best of luck Jr and Senior, Drugs are no Joke!
Yep, I could not agree more with his father, “It’s been a long road”. Chavez Jr always looked for ways to cut corners in his training once he became unfocused on his boxing. Cutting corners were taking Lasix to drop weight and at times, weighed too heavy on the scale to make weight. Chavez Jr may have some affluenza traits in him where his negative life choices and behaviors arise from wealth whether its daddy’s money or his own money. Possession of a ghost gun can have legal consequences if the handgun was not registered with a serial number under an ATF FORM1 in some cases. In addition, if California has banned such pistols, not good to be busted with one especially under a disability.
Article says, “assault rifle”. Hmmm…. Based on ATF specs, a rifle would have the barrel at 16 inches or longer. An AR pistol would have a barrel under 16 inches with an arm brace. An SBR class 3 this weapon is not as it must be registered with the ATF using 258 OR fingerprint cards and fees under a FORM1. Not the case here since it has no traceable serial numbers.
Rock bottom is a good place to build a new foundation……..
Well said, Gary.
– I speak from experience regarding rock bottom.
– Take care.
– Gary G.
i hope he recovers . forget boxing . god help him.
This must be something difficult for any parent to go through. Also for Jr.’s kids to live through. I sincerely hope Jr. is able to get all the help he needs, nothing but the best to the Chavez’s family
Gotta feal for Sr. Still needs to speak up for his grown son.
Sr. expresses guilt himself for the addictions he had and what he put his family through. Lets hope this family curse breaks between Jr. and his kids
Chavez Jr probably wakes up every morning wishing he was Canelo.
I think everyone’s goal is to “live a useful and happy life” – best of luck
