Official: Julio C. Chavez Jr vs Marcos Reyes Pre/Post fight thread

[LouIE G]

Very good comeback fight for chavez, Reyes is no pushover..

[SUBZER0ED]

Chavez is going to have to come with his "A" game, if he hopes to salvage his career. If Reyes is able to give a strong performance against JR or even upset him, it could be curtains.

[SUBZER0ED]

Yup. I hope people don't count him out. Fonfara is a GOOD Light heavy ffs.

^There's a point I think you missed about Fonfara, Javi.

[BamaSlamma]

Anybody know when/where the weigh in is?

Yea that 12th round was exciting, but I gave more of the credit in that round to martinez for getting rocked and not holding & kept on fighting like a champ! Again, you are using more of their height as the only size to judge. There is also a thing called body size. Corrales, for example, was over 5'10" fighting at 130-135 lbs. Golovkin is also 5'10". Mike Tyson was also 5'10". Yet, their body sizes is what made a difference dont you agree?

So youre saying that Chavez has a small body? Or smaller than Fonfara?

I'd say JCCjr's frame is a tad bit smaller than Fonfara.

Right but not to the extend where one would say "he lost cause Fonfara is too big."

Now, if we had something like Rigo vs Walters, then you can try and blame the size difference.

Sandwiched in there two fights against that bum Vera who got robbed in the first fight. You can put him in the ring with another bum now because he's coming off a loss. But you can't go from passing on GGG to fighting a no named guy. So they had to get a quality opponent. Problem is the weight which falls on chavez. They didn't think he could make 168. And we see now when he fights a guy his own size he gets murdered.

His only success was at 160 where he fought guys with a 20lb advantage but now he can't make 160 anymore. Maybe they could of gotten a lesser fighter at 172 to fight him but eventually this was always going to happen when he started fighting decent guys his own size. Chavez is just not very talented and clearly doesn't have much heart or the work ethic to beat fighters without the deck totally being stacked in his favor" Quote


thats the truth.
