Comments Thread For: Chavez Sr: Julio Jr. Will Remain at 160, Not Move Up

[El Angel]

He really relys on that size advantage and his team knows that. His style at 168 isn't as effective with guys bigger and stronger. He needs brute strength to overcome the lack of technical abilities.

Once Chavez is off the marijuana it should be easier for him to start making weight.

It's only when he starts taking speed to make weight we should be worried.

Had Chavez scored the KO in the 12th, you know damn well they wouldn't give Sergio a rematch and would jump to 168 100%.

Translation-Julio will remain fighting 20 lbs heavier than his opponents

This. I can't respect a fighter who does this. People praised Jr and said he got heart but you're supposed to be brave when you're fighting a guy who's a lot smaller. We should go back to same-day weigh ins.

They just trying to bank on getting a older Martinez and think Chavez can hurt Martinez which he can't

Chavez Jr can't hurt Martinez? WTF?

[Evil Abed]

Fight Golovkin. Do it.

[ROYistheGOAT]

Martinez doesn't want a rematch, he knows a focused and non high jr will tko him.

[Larry the boss]

yea who cares,dude was exposed for the spoiled,pink underwear wearing bum he is

How will Chavez learn from his mistakes? He's making the biggest one by staying at 160 instead of moving up to SMW. Has he not seen his son at the weigh-ins? He looks like he could be in one of those "Feed The Children" infomercials. Tell your son to get his big ass up to SMW and fight Pavlik. Nothing about Chavez will improve as long as he continues to drain himself, he'll never be in peak physical condition.

I used to wonder why Chavez Sr. (such a highly-touted fighter) didn't train his son, but I don't even think Jr. wants his father in his corner anyway. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and both seem to have a couple screws loose.

Smart Move! Because he is not beating any of the top fighters at 168

[John Barron]

cause they know he ain't **** against guys his size.
