Chavez always plays with a stacked deck, and robbery may be the least of Lee's problems. Imagine him facing a drug crazed cruiser weight, in a small ring, in Jr's backyard, with all the officials in the WBC's pocket. Lee's going to need all the lucky charms in the world to survive, much less win this.

Cowards...

Fight Martinez already and stop running

Very good fight. Gotta give Chavez Jr credit for stepping up the level of opposition lately. Zbik, Manfredo, Rubio and Lee is not a bad streak at all.

But goddamn WBC, strip the ****ing title already! Its clear that he's never going to fight Martinez. BUT he is clearly a good fighter and can win a legitimate title again. He could have snatched Daniel Geale's title, but Pirog probably beat him to it.

When Arum wants to make a deal, a deal gets done. So when a fight that makes all the sense in the world can't be made, its most likely Arms fault.

I'm gonna laugh if Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. loses to Andy Lee

I have lee as favourite, I think he's better than chavez in most regards, other than having real dodgy stamina. Unfortunately though the biggest factor in this fight will probably be how corrupt and biased the ref/judges/officials are. If Andy just has to fight chavez I think he'll pull off the win, if he has to fight Chavez plus corrupt BS then he'll get screwed and miss out, most likely via a shlt decision

JCC jr is one of the most hated fighters. Lee is one of the most over hyped fighters. This fight will give Chavez jr. some credibility and expose Lee for the garbage he is.

A Quillin-Chavez fight would make for such a better fight.
1) They're both trained by Roach.
2) Freddie will choose JCC jr. for the fight because of politics.
3) Quillin will whoop his ass like he does at Wild Card.
4) Freddie the switches to Quillin's corner for the rematch.

just pointing out a typo there, am sure u meant to say "JCC jr is one of the most hated AND most over hyped fighters. ... no don't worry no need to thank me

Lee is solid but nothing special. Even fight if you ask me. I will give Jr the edge cause Lee will be against so many intangibles in and outside the ring.

Lee doesn't hit hard enough, average speed and does tires out in a fight.

Lee will kick his ass, why not go for Martinez? He wont beat Lee and makes more money with Sergio
