Its a travesty, zbik got robbed!!!

Probably so, but you can't fault Jr for playing by the rules...

And you can't give Zbik a handicap on the scorecards because of it either.


Again though, if you can't hurt your opponent, you atleast need to outbox them. Zbik seemed to give up on that idea early on, and just let Jr stick his head into his chest. He could have boxed circles around Jr and just landed easily all night.

I really don't get why you're so impressed with Zbik.

You are right, but Zbik couldnīt box circles around Julio, Zbik had no legs from the 4th round on, he was taking brutal body shots and his legs were gone, so he couldnīt really do anything from the outside, which was clearly his strategy, and then Chavez made him fight his fight. But again chavez looks like a punching bag, as a mexican i tell you right now Cotto kills him, well even Rubio kos him.

Chavez didnt do much. Should check those judges. I Knew this is going to happen, they should make a rematch

Judge 1: 114-114= DRAW
Judge 2: 115-113= CHAVEZ
Judge 3: 116-112= CHAVEZ= WTF?

I'm fine with the draw. I'm fine with the 115-113 score for I had the same score for Zbik at the end of the fight. However, I have no idea what fight the judge who had the 116-112 score was watching.

As others on this thread have pointed out, Chavez Jr. had the name and any sort of close decision would have gone to him no matter what. It's the nature of the beast that I certainly don't agree with it.

Zbik needed to stay boxing, but opted to trade on the inside with Chavez Jr. later in the fight. He is partly to blame and his corner did not seem to correct it. Such a lapse in strategy led to those body shots from Chavez, which slowed the zip on Zbik's punches.

Chavez Jr. needs to work on his D if he does intend to lock horns with bigger names such as Maravilla. He was getting hit way too much and one can only imagine what sort of brutal KO he'll receive at the hands of someone with even decent power.

The fight was in staple center. Get over it.

And that is what is so pathetic about Boxing. Chavez should have lost (again) but because of where he fought, and his daddies name, he moves forward. It turns alot of people away from the sport.
