Sometimes I feel so bad for these kids. I wonder if they had any choice as to what they would become when they got older....Chavez Jr., Paez Jr. and now Zarate Jr.

What a fight

I have the fight between Zarate and Zamora. What a war, both undefeated with massive KO records. Zarate stopped him in ,I think, the 4th rd, and then the two fathers, (who happened to be the trainers) started fighting each other................

Paez Jr wasn't that bad, he was quick. But yeah, I'm sure they were pointed to the ring early, but at the same time they probably fell in love with the sport on their own.
