Unbeaten prospect Alexander "El Pollo" de Jesús will face dangerous Adrian Navarrete this Friday at the Antonio R. Barcelo Coliseum in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, on a Telefutura's Solo Boxeo program. De Jesus (17-0, 11 KO's), a 2004 Olympic from San Juan, Puerto Rico, will defend his Latino WBO junior welter championship against Navarrete, from Ciudad Durango, Mexico, who's record is 17-5-1, 13 KO's...

HERE WE GO AGAIN!! LOL
well i never been very impressed with el pollo i think he a OK boxer nothing special let see.....
On the real though, everytime I see a PR vs Mexico fight, the PR is undefeated and the Mexican is usually some journeyman.....why?
I mean 17-5 isn't bad but it's not 17-0.
It depends, I've seen Telfutura in Mexico and they put their hot prospects against some "bums" as well. I wouldn't trust that shit, sometimes they change the other fighter at last minute and put you up against a good unknown fighter with a bad record, I remember the Pulino villalobos fight vs Jonas Hernandez (RIP), thats a good example.
1-naaaahh mean i just put as example jcc jr got friking over 30 frickin wins! man common i dint mean it in a racist way!!!! calm dowm my friend!
2- i agree in that was a bs rumor that i was against it from the beginning and i did a few post about it in this forum... u cant not generalized the every puertorican about it...
and forgot to mention cotto easily could lost against a marcus chop chop, ricardo torres when he got seriously hurt but he a good boxer .. he dont have a inflated record like julio cesar chavez jr?
Look, just when we were getting along.....JCC jr doesn't have an inflated record he just fights alot. Whats wrong with that? You forget how young the kid still is, people talk about him like he's in his 30's or something...lol
It's very typical for Mexican fighters to stay busy, I think thats a good thing.
that something else i wonder , how come solo boxeo dont do any show in mexico? and i think boxing judge In pr are fair because if they dont the crowd booo the shit out them....
Your so biased it's not even funny. I'm sorry to tell you this but after the whole steroid thing with Margarito and the accusations thrown at him by the people, radio stations and newspapers in PR, you should be ashaimed at the way Puertoricans acted.
Don't tell me it was just one dude calling into a radio station either, they were reporting it like it was the gospel truth. I have alot of respect for Cotto, it's some of his fans I don't care to much about. There was a lot of shit talking in here prior to the fight and now people want to pile that shit on by rumors and shit......PR fans are anything but fair...

its a solo boxeo that is coming from PR so I don't think they would necessarily have a highly touted Mexican prospect on a show eminating from PR. Since Solo Boxeo doesn't do shows in Mexico it's rare you see Mexican prospects fighting in Mexico. Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson is the closest you can get to that
and forgot to mention cotto easily could lost against a marcus chop chop, ricardo torres when he got seriously hurt but he a good boxer .. he dont have a inflated record like julio cesar chavez jr?
I AGREE with u... and the sad part about that is that sometimes a good boxer with a one single lost will not make as much money or go as far as a undefeated boxer... that why i was kind piss when juan "baby bull" diaz lost is last fight.. such a good boxer and now he got wait more for be considered a elite...
And confidence, don't underestimate that. One loss can hurt a fighter more than you think. There have been many a good fighter that have never recovered from a beating they took or a close loss.
Juan Diaz problem is his style would be better fit if he had power. He just doesn't carry any. He's got a great work rate, great chin but no power. I think he will bounce back because of the person he is but I don't think he's an elite fighter like a Pacman for example. He will have a good career but I don't think a great one.
If he had power he would have been one of the best.
There are a lot of great prospects in Mexico but I think they are mismanaged very badly.
I have said this time and time again and have even gotten some slack from fellow Mexicans on this board but I think Mexican fighters are very poorly managed for the most part.
Look at Margarito and Cotto for example. Cotto was born and bred to fight. He was brought up very carefully, his opponents were picked at the right time and that's a big reason he was undefeated.
That's not saying his opponents were hand picked or anything, I'm just saying his career was managed much better than Margarito's.
Margarito on the other hand was thrown into the fire early on. He became a pro at the age of 15 and was fighting grown men who were veterans already. That's where a lot of his losses came from. Not until now has Margarito fully become the fighter he was intended to be and is reaching his full potential.
It seems as though Mexican fighters are thrown in the water and are told "sink or swim". The ones that swim become great fighters but most unfortunatly sink because of poor managment.
