Undefeated middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is preparing to leave his hometown of Culiacan, Mexico, to fly to Los Angeles, California, to begin working with his new trainer, Freddie Roach, at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood. Chavez hired Roach to train him for the upcoming fight with "Irish" John Duddy on June 26 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. [Click Here To Read More]

Jr seems to me like he is just fighting cause of his father. He does not give it 100% and looked out of shape in his las fight. Hopefully he gets more serious with Roach.

It's a real bad record for Roach if Chavez loses for the first time

I know Chavez Jr get's alot of stick of here but he no doubtedly has got talent and I think he will rise to the top in the next 2-3 years. It's just everyone expects him to perform really well and they forget he's only 23 years old.

I think the move to train with Roach is a good one, I think he has the skills to deal with alot of the guy's he's fought but just needs a trainer to get his really focused into what he's doing to get more knockouts.

Im expecting him to KO Duddy.

after all hes only 23 yrs old,he got a long way to go.roach will help him to exalt his skills.and finally he wont fight any bum again.lol

He's a lost cause, no trainer can fix this guy. He fights the same every single time, throws the same combos every time. He can be read like an open book. Not to mention, he is slow as can be and his footwork is all jacked up. Slap in the face for his previous trainer though.

this is the right way to go, and i've been saying it for awhile now, if he gets a good trainer he can progress to where he should be. the kid has alot of talent, it just needs to come out, i think roach can do this for him.

Julito Chavez jr & his brother could train with God & that won't help them...Against Duddy it might be an interesting fight since Duddy himself was some what overrated..Julito & Duddy are more or less at the same level, so that should make a good fight..But neither one of them ain't going nowhere against top of line opposition...

i sure hope roach can make him work more on his difense, the kid gets hit too much. needs to learn diff techniques. roach is a great trainer. chavez jr. wins by kayo
