Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Edwin Rosario

I've only seen this fight once before a long time ago and decided to watch it again earlier today. I forgot how great of a masterclass performance this was for Chavez. He slowly broke down Rosario who is in the ring magazines top 100 punchers. If you never seen this fight or haven't in quite some time. Do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece.

When your trainer is saying "he is human just like you" you know you are in deep *****e. Look at Rosario's eyes toward the end of the fight and you can see he has been broken physically and mentally.

Chavez was built for war. Rosario did well in spots, just wasn't enough.

This is one of my favourite fights, all time. I watched it at the time and was blown away by Chavez' intensity. Rosario also showed a ton of heart as well. Great fight and an absolute masterclass of infighting.

Prime JCC was a beast

Check out his fight with Dwight Pratchett, Ruben Castillo, Mario Martinez, id even say check out his 1st fight with Randell.

Not only was Rosario a great puncher, but he was a ****ing solid fighter as well.

This is the greatest inside fighting/body punching clinic ever IMO. is that picture of Barrera real HAHA

I was watching this on dvd last night. I noticed that Rosario was much more competitive than I remembered even if he was losing most of the rounds. Chávez was unstoppable but Rosario had his moments and showed a lot of courage. All in all, this was a very good fight that showed the best of both even if Chávez dominated it. Rosario had to have been in tremendous shape for this fight. He was taking a lot of body shots..and nearly made it to the end. That was Chavez at his best imo. Yep this was one of his best fights.

That was Chavez at his best imo.
