Former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who is scheduled to return on September 7th against Bryan Vera at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, was ringside in Tepic, Mexico to support his brother Omar Chavez - and Julio appeared to be weighing well over 200-pounds according to ringside observers. Chavez is known for dropping unrealistic amounts of weight before a fight, and then blowing up by 20-pounds [or more] after the day of the weigh-in. There have been rumors in Mexico that Chavez's return has been pushed back several times because the boxer has not been training. The fight with Vera is taking place at a max of 165-pounds.
