Comments Thread For: Weights From El Paso: Chavez Jr 159, Lee 159.25

[No-mas-tias]

JCC Jr. by KO, Lee is not very good, I don't know why many in here give him a chance to beat Jr.

BTW Dinero de Vaca, WTF? Learn some Spanish, that is not the translation of cash cow, makes no sense.

Chavez Camp rejects Lee Camp request

Moments ago at the weigh-in for tomorrow’s WBC middleweight championship fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and top contender Andy Lee, representatives of Lee requested to weigh both camp’s gloves. That request was denied by Texas Commission Sports Inspector Robert Tapia. “They brought their own gloves and we brought ours,” explained Lee’s manager, Perry Mandera, “so we thought in the interest of full disclosure and a level playing field, we would weigh both pairs. We weighed ours out in the open in front of everyone. They would not put theirs on the scale. So, I requested Robert Tapia to make them do it. He told me ‘I’m the boss here. I say whether or not we inspect the gloves and we’re not going to.’” Mandera says he then requested Chavez trainer Freddy Roach to weigh the gloves in the spirit of fairness. “He pushed past me and said ‘we don’t have to, so we’re not going to.’”

Lee’s team issued this statement: “We just want everything fair. I don’t know why they wouldn’t drop the gloves on a scale to remove any doubt about a pair of gloves they brought themselves. Yes, it’s a new pair, but you ever buy a pair of shoes that say size 10 and they’re not? That’s all we were trying to resolve. So why won’t they weigh the gloves?”

Doesn't Vaca De Dinero mean "Money Cow". Not sure what cash cow would mean, I live in a state with many spanish speakers but f**k if I know it.

Macklin isn't a bum, and Barker did a decent job despite being a relative unknown and untested. Pirog and Golovkin haven't even fought anyone on the level of Mack/Barker. "Why doesn't (insert name) fight (insert possible opponents)?" If everything flowed the way it should, then Sturm would be fighting Golovkin, Chavez would be fighting Martinez, and Geale would be fighting Pirog.

What I meant is he should fight more Champions or people who are better known so that the PPV stars will be more willing to fight him. Instead he fights guys that aren't well known... which I refer to as bums since nobody cares about them. I think he'd have a better shot at landing a Pac or Mayweather fight if he went back to 154lbs where there is better known opposition. He keeps saying he's a small middleweight and wants higher profile opponents but he doesn't do anything to solidify that.

just make sure Chavez takes the test this time

I held a prayer meeting tonight and we all joined hands hoping, just hoping, that Andy Lee will make it out of this fight being able to fight again. Chavez is the baddest man on the planet and the undisputed middleweight champion of this world, there is a very real chance he's going to end this kid's career and that would be a real shame, because, unlike that chicken shit Martinez, he's a nice guy

That's classic Spanish.

This is JCC JR's time. His world. His rules. His grammar. The Spanish world can choose to embrace it, or be left behind.

The choice is theirs.

Uhhhh hello that's Spanish for 2000 years ago. Do you see Christopher Columbus walking around or something? Is Charles Bronson still famous???

No.

It's 2012. It's JR O'clock. Spanish will need to adapt or be left behind.

The champions at MW are playing politics. Chavez and Sturm are the biggest names in the division. Sturm doesn't want to leave Germany, and Jr. is being protected. So what happens? Martinez continues to do the next best thing and fight guys like Dzinzurik/Barker/Macklin(in-house fight). Pirog/Golovkin and Sturm/Geale will get the momentum going, and sooner or later, Martinez is going to be forced to fight another titlist.
