Comments Thread For: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Weighs Around 172-Pounds, Says Nacho

[MEXfistology]

47% chance to beat Canelo is what Nacho said. That's not a good thing to say. You should have confidence in your fighter and say that 100% you're going to win whether you have doubts or not. Being that Chavez Jr has been actually training really hard and is in good condition you're not giving him any encouragement by saying he has a 47% chance of winning.

I wasn't going to purchase this PPV anyway. I'm going to stream and watch it for free. Canelo hasn't had a PPV worth paying for since Cotto-Canelo, so it's no coincidence in which that is the last Canelo PPV I payed for.

I saw the interview where he said this, he says he knows people critize him over that but the feeling is better when you underestimate your work and your fighter and then the fighter surpasses and overperforms your expectations. This is not new to him , this guy is an experienced old man , he knows what hes doing

The sauna is a test to see his fluid loses. Once they gauge the loss then they re hydrate and get a better idea of when and how to cut more and more.
It is beneficial if they can limit the heavy plastic suit with the jump rope and chew and spit! That really takes a toll on a fighter.

I don't see this kid hanging with Canelo but it just might be a test for him if Junior is in condition and willing!
He will be 180 come bell time and Canelo will be too.
So the light heavyweights will be in action.

I've got Canelo coming I'm about 173-174. He won't be no 180 lol. Nonetheless Canelo will be FAR sharper and prepared to fight and have enough energy to box for 12 rounds. JCC would need some Margacheato-like stamina and chin to beat Canelo.

I do sauna all the time. Nothing wrong with it.

It's different when you're a month out from the fight...still trying to build muscle and stamina. Must've been a trial cut.

Also, an elite athlete using the sauna and a casual athlete (you or I) is different. They are very likely much more dehydrated than you or I would be

A complete mockery of the sport and exploitation of uninformed casuals

Canelos gonna look like the 2nd coming of mike tyson....stopping a severly drained chavez jr.

Just bring on the ggg fight already

The drainage days are nowhere near. I do sauna 3 times a week after I workout. This is custom in Turkish culture

Oh no doubt, I've got a lot of respect for Nacho. He's one of the best to ever do it. But he definitely should keep that kind of stuff inside camp. People can interpret that the wrong way. It could affect sales for PPV if they interpret it the wrong way. Know what I mean.

He doesnt need to "lose" them. If he gets to within 10lbs of the contraxct weight he'll make it with a "water cut" then rehydrate back up to +180lbs for fight time.

You would hope that. He is older and has not gone to that weight in a while. That is no easy task and there will be no more water weight to lose.

Instead of training he will be in a weight loss program

For what..Roach always say his fighter will win with a KO and it never happens..He is keeping it honest..Or perhaps you are used to people lying?

[Hewito]

What is junior doing in a sauna a month out from the fight? is he doing a trial weight cut? I dont see the benefit to this, its not healthy. Unless it was for a very short period of time, like a half hour or something.

Please show your credentials..I am sure his people knows a little bit more than you and me about weight cutting..It is very possible he uses the sauna 25 minutes after running and drinking water..his body will drench rather quick and I still wont dehydrate.

How could you supposedly be a boxing fan and not no nacho by now. He's the realest coach in the game and tells the media and his fighters the truth and how he feels.
