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

    By Jake Donovan - Regardless of what anyone thought of the fight taking place on a network as prestigious as HBO, the feeling going in to the middleweight title bout between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Peter Manfredo was going to be action packed for however long it lasted.

    A fun fight was exactly what was offered on Saturday evening, much to the delight of the rabid crowd of approximately 5,000 fans on hand at the Reliant Arena in Houston, Texas. Even more of a treat for the heavily-Mexican attended event was the ending, which saw Chavez Jr make the first successful defense of his title with a fifth round stoppage of Manfredo in their televised main event.

    Both fighters came within the middleweight limit. Manfredo Jr was 159.4 lb, rehydrating to 178 lb by fight night. Chavez was a fit 159.8 lb at the weigh-in, gaining nearly 20 lb by the opening bell. [Click Here To Read More]

    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

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

                  You mean jcc successfully defends martinez's title. It is a joke that he has a belt.

                    man, i'm liking this kid more and more after each fight. looks like he MAY be thinking too much in there as to whether he should employ his style or what roach is teaching him and against the elite that could be crippling. another thing, chavez used to look a LOT more accurate with his shots a couple years ago. in any case, i like him against guys like kirkland and canelo.
