Comments Thread For: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Making Boxing His Everything

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is a long way from the sideshow act he was viewed at for the first several years of his career. In fact, he’s already a long way from the version that showed up for his last ring appearance just four months ago.

Sometimes you need for everything to go wrong in order to get everything to go the way you want. Chavez Jr. had perhaps his worst training camp in years, struggled with weight and was even popped on a DUI charge all while he was supposed to be preparing for a middleweight title defense against Marco Antonio Rubio.

The camp was a far cry from his being fit and ready in dismantling Peter Manfredo Jr just three months prior. It’s a far cry from the camp he has endured for his latest challenge as he prepares to face Andy Lee this weekend at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.

"I had an excellent training camp. It started in Mexico and we finished in Las Vegas,” Chavez (45-0-1, 31KO) reveals. “It was one of the best camps I had. We had some great sparring and the weight is coming off very well for this fight. There will always be some issues in any training camp but I feel that this was one of the best of my career."

Protected?? Lee is a very good fighter, better than the ones Sergio has fought recently. Alvarez was going to fight Williams and Kirkland and you know what happened. What´s wrong with drinking beer?? Don´t sell alcohol, then. Bann alcohol, tell that to your congress people. Besides, Tecate and Corona sponsor boxing and they are Mexican brands that makes it OK for a boxer to drink. And guess what, Junior deserves more credit cause he fought Rubio; and won, with a hangover. Idiot.
