I wasn't even gonna impress my distaste for this fight, but its best most pay it no mind, I'm probably not even gonna watch it. Just a dull dull fight.

Ronald Hearns is truly awful, i doubt he would even be on TV if the Hitman wasn't his Dad.

It's a tune up people! Lol.

What happened to facing # 1 challenger Marcos Rubio? It's ridiculous that the WBC shows so much favortism towards certain fighters. It's unusual for a sanctioning body to grant its champion two voluntary defenses of the title in a row without fighting the mandatory challenger...

HAHAHA! I didn't know you needed a tune-up for Manfredo Jr... HIlarious... Why is everyone surprised...? Dont you guys know that Sulaimain protects Freckles Canello and Jr... I don't know who's more of a fraud...? JOke! Why shoudln't he put in with the best? your are a champ right...? Campion de Mundial... LOL...

hearns??lol,he just got knocked out and gets yet another title shot?

Yes he just got beaten by Sturm so he is getting two world title shots for no reason really, maybe he is good enough to beat Jr. who is just terrible.

Screw Chavez jr aka 'The Tune-up King'! This fight better be on during the afternoon in US time if Arum wants the kid to get more exposure. The World will be watching STAR POWER!

[AntonTheMeh]

this is not a good look for jr.

edit: wait, he's fighting manfredo jr after this?

i can't support this guy anymore.

I really would not be surprised if Chavez loses this fight. Hearns is a B level fighter but he has pop, and a decent jab. he just has a shaky chin. don't be suprised if Chavez gets stopped. I just don't see much at all in Chavez Jr. I'll say he wins this fight but he will struggle, and could possibly lose.

Another cab driver. Way to go Jr.
