I'll say this, Chavez has balls. That is a very tough fight to return to.

He is back to loose November 11, mark your calendars.

It's all about Loma vs Rigo now, unless we get Jacobs vs Charlo which I doubt.

This waste needs to retire. He doesn't belong anywhere near a boxing ring or to have the father he has.

Dirrell got this. Easy Work!

After last night, why not? Maybe rematch Canelo down the line because boxing is just a joke on that side of the promotional business.

Chavez Jr is simply maxing out on what he's got left; after the performance that he put out during the Alvarez fight, he wasn't going to come back on big money were he to not take a tough fight.

Anthony's a tough fight but not a world better, Chavez Jr is headlining a fight at a 17k-seat arena in SoCal, and a win in the fight puts him immediately into position for another big fight (James Degale is coming back, the WBSS is still going on, Arum may end up open to giving up 70% of the pot to try and launch Zurdo).
