Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is working hard in San Diego for his May 9th bout with James Kirkland in Texas. He took a break on Saturday to sit back and watch a big night of boxing - including the fight involving his countryman Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who was dominated and stopped by Andrzej Fonfara in nine rounds.

It was the second loss in Chavez's career. He was returning from a 13 month layoff and was fighting nearly two divisions above his best weight class.

"That's the sport, it's something that's very serious. If you don't do things right, in the ring is when you pay. Hopefully he will recover soon and take boxing as it has to be, as a very serious sport," Canelo told ESPN Deportes. "I saw Chavez's fight against Fonfara. It was a fight that was dominated completely by Fonfara from the second round forward, when [Fonfara] started to connect very well."

Eddie Reynoso, Canelo's trainer, shared the very popular opinion that Chavez was too small for the weight.

"The division in which he fought he did not do very well. And although he lost this fight, I believe that he is still very young, he is strong and still has a great future. I think there were already far behind in terms of weight, they were separated by two categories. I saw it as very difficult," concluded Eddie.
