Legendary Hall of Fame trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain is responsible for the preparation of Marco "Dorado" Reyes (33-2, 24KOs), who on July 18 will face the former WBC middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32KOs) in the city of El Paso, Texas. The fight will take place at the super middleweight limit of 168-pounds.
Chavez Jr. is hoping to get his career back in order. He returns from an April ninth round TKO defeat at the hands of talented 175-pound contender Andrzej Fonfara. That fight took place at light heavyweight.
"We are going to ensure that Julio gets hit a lot. We have to attack as if there were no tomorrow. Reyes has never been stopped and that is an advantage when two punchers come together," Nacho said.
"It will be a very tough fight, but I believe that this boy's motivation to beat Chavez Jr. will make a difference. He's been sparring very well. I have three big guys helping out and they told me he's hitting hard. We will continue working on that and also on endurance to win."
