WBC Talks continued with episode 17, but, this time with a very different theme, since the President of the WBC, Mauricio Sulaimán had a one-on-one talk with the former WBC champion, Julio César Chávez Jr.
Linked from Los Angeles, California, Julio was delighted to be able to connect with boxing fans and especially to be able to talk with the top leader of the WBC, Mauricio Sulaimán who he considers to be part of his family.
Julio spoke how he is living this quarantine with his wife and family awaiting the birth of their new son.
He spends much of his time training in a special area that enabled, for him to stay busy. And enjoys quality time with his family.
An intimate talk where the minutes went faster than the wind, and where Julio did not hesitate to talk about the the spell when he unfortunately fell prey to drugs. And as he himself said, it was the darkest moment of his life, because that was when he doubted his abilities, and who he was.
Regretful of having dropped into this hell, today he feels free to be able to talk about it, as he is currently fully recovered and with a new approach to life where he is very clear that he wants to return to boxing.
The talk became even more emotional when Julio remembered beloved Don José, a very important figure for him who he considers to be a mentor and his second father.
“I was always a sticking my nose in Don José’s business when I was at his home,” he laughs, “I would go into his bedroom and we would talk about many things, he would help me, he would give me advice, it was incredible to be able to have that closeness, I loved him very much and he will be always a very important figure for boxing, Don José always cared for all of us in a genuine way and we have to thank him for that.”
Stories, emotional memories, Mauricio and Julio Jr. talked about the past, today and of course tomorrow.
We invite you to enjoy again this great talk that allowed us all to see a happy, motivated, inspired and full of projects Julio César Jr.

What is up with Julio’s hairdo? The more I look and hear him the more I know he can’t possibly be playing with a full deck, just a very bazaar and confused individual. I really hope he gives up boxing there is no more room for crazy antics inside the ring for him anymore he will only bring yet more anguish to his father who was such a great fighter but there is one thing he did learn from his father and that is making excuses. I remember every single time his father won and was interviewed after the fight there never not once was there a time that he would say he had a good training camp and things worked out well it was always he had diarrhea he had twisted his ankle he had cramps he had a cold he was battling the flu he had distractions just never ending excuses yet I still found him incredibly skilled and a great fighter. Julio Jr. please look for another career now it’s time to move on with your life already.
Who cares. If it wasn’t for his father/family name, nobody would even acknowledge him. He would just be an average Joe like most of us without this. His boxing career is an absolute joke filled with tomfoolery, lack of training, crying on his stool and just being a clown. Any of us can take a few shots and then go to our corner, sit down, put our heads in our hands and cry. Also most of us could probably ballin up to 400 pounds then fight featherweights and act as though we are special. (Also, Sergio Martinez and a host of other fights. He was like a cruiserweight fighting middleweights.). Waste of a good webspace even mentioning him.
I kid you not, Chavez Jr. would be the prime specimen to make a documentary on. Here is the analysis of the show in parts;
I. Introduction; Born/Raised in a boxing family
II. Given opportunity to be a professional champion
III. Boxing, training hard, life is good, Dad is proud
IV. Winning and being a Champ
V. Losing it all due to a Spectrum of Affluenza
VI. Is it Spectrum of Affluenza or being a Brat?
VII. Boredom sets and I am a back as a fighter!
VIII. I get my butt whipped and I quit!!!!
IX. Conclusion: Dad will always bail me out!
X. Takeaway for fans; Don’t be like Chavez Jr.
Anybody want to make and direct this documentary and submit it on Writer’s Guild for a hit of big cash?
How about you? Sounds like you got it all figured out, at the same time make big bank!
I will produce it as long as you watch it….LOL
Why?
