By Jake Donovan - Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. turned in what has to be regarded as the best performance of his career on Saturday night, pounding out a well-earned unanimous decision over John Duddy in their 12-round middleweight eliminator at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Chavez Jr. was 160 lb. on the nose, while Duddy came in slightly lighter at 159 lb. for the bout, which served as the televised main event for a four-fight pay-per-view telecast.
Chavez, anxious to show off everything he’s learned under the tutelage of new trainer Freddie Roach, fought and his desired distance in the opening round, working the jab and also dropping right hands whenever Duddy attempted to creep in close.
Duddy remained unnerved, bouncing back well in the second round to take the fight to Chavez. Right hands landed while Chavez was pinned to the ropes, and the Irishman also enjoyed success with the same punch in center ring later in the round. [Click Here To Read More]
