What's the Deal with JCC Jr??

[RL_GMA]

When are they going to give this kid a quality fighter? He has 37 Pro fights and I couldn't tell you (or care) anything about who he's fought. I was really looking forward to the proposed Alfonso Gomez fight, but since then he's become a regular on Top Rank PPVs (which my cable company doesn't even pick up).

Are they trying to protect him and eventually move him up in weight? Come down to Welter?

You have to remember, even though he has 37 fights he still is very young. A fighter that has that many fights is usually in his late 20's to early 30's by now. JCC Jr. is still a baby in that reguard, maybe he hasn't physically matured yet.

I think the leap will come soon though.

they probably wont for a long time. Once Top Rank realized they make a lot of money with their Latin Fury PPVs with him as a headliner then the plans changed for Jr. Arum couldn't get the dates he wanted so he said **** off to HBO and now he is raking in money because of it.

the Latin Fury PPVs are making TR money because there is almost no overhead other than paying the fighters. They share the TV feed with TV Azteca so there is no production costs to it.

I dont think we will see Jr face anyone of note for a while

I know dude doesn't have an amateur record but cut the umbilical cord already! There are some Mexican fighters (most I should say) that don't have amateur experience and have to go pro at age 18... they don't get 30 fights.. they get maybe 15-20 easy ones then get thrown in there on the world level. They have babied JCC Jr. wayy too much.

once he gets to about 70 or 80 fights I'd imagine they'll step up the quality just a tad bit

Chavez is young with no amateur experience. He is learning as he goes give the young kid a break.

Young? Dude is 22... Do you know at what age Morales and Barrera went pro? Do you know how many easy fights they had before having to step it up?
