Comments Thread For: The Son Also Rises: Chavez Closes The Show in Houston

stoppage was a little early... I mean if kirkland can come back why shouldn't manfredo get a chance to come back.

you idiot, kirkland received a count. manfredo was getting battered and he accepted it, he even raised Jr's hand. You envy chavez.

Rarely is Chavez Jr. comfortable enough to throw, the same weaknesses stand out; he needs alot of time and room to operate.

Chavez beat a janitor, not too impressed. he needs to fight one of his mandatories whether it's Martinez or Rubio. then we'll see if he's good.

Martinez will end his career so we'll never see that. I can't wait til the Puto CHvaez gets exposed

For Arum it's real simple:

Martinez = Super high risk, low pay
Rubio = High risk, very low pay
Canelo = High risk, high pay and Jr. is the bigger man.

It's a no brainer, now let's see if Jr. will agree too, and make the catchweight.

hemingway puns on MY boxingscene?

chavez jr looked good last night to me...he showed decent footwork, controlled the distance pretty well, and countering pretty impressively...the kid is better than canelo imo..

I just watched the fight and thought Chavez Jr. looked pretty sharp. His punches had power and snap, he boxed well at times (not the whole fight though) and he showed that he could take a good punch...

Observation about the gloves: Did anyone else notice that Manfredo's Everlast gloves looked bigger and bulkier than Chavez' Grants? The Grants looked like 8-10oz while the Everlasts looked like they might be 12oz. Did Manfredo opt to use a bigger glove? It just kinda stood out to me, not that it's a big deal...

I like hes signature punch ,the left hook to the lever that's awesome, but i would suggest to put more power to hes punch.. to match canelo and martinez..

The "kid" is actually older than Canelo and is not even on the same level. The kid, as you refer to him is where he is today because of his name not his work.

he is still young....yes, i agree junior is piggy backing on his father's name but canelo is piggybacking on NOTHING...dont realy know why that kid is so famous, he's stiff, defense sucks, and when he fought gomez , he looked lost at times when gomez boxed.....
