Sounds like Chavez is just taking this like a stroll in the park. He doesn't feel a need to come down to the limit.

Very 'meh' fight on paper that will probably be entertaining in ring. Easy win for Chavez if he comes in shape.

I don't think Sergio is fighting him again in September

gonna get his out the way and have a mega fight later that year

Pathetic opponent and again. No discipline mindset.why don't this idiot just move up to 168. After this 165 catch weight crap.he'll enter the ring dam near 200lbs. He's pathetic.

a pure BS bout w/Vera being nothing more than a punching bag...

There's no problem getting down to the MW limit, yet this fight is taking place at SMW. Vera has almost no chance.

He probably can't make 160 anymore...

Vera will make for a good fight. he's a solid guy who likes to fight and he's really a super middle so Chavez won't have a size advantage.


like I said before I doubt Chavez will ever fight Martinez again. 160 is too hard for him to make, no matter what he says, and Martinez totally dominated him in the 1st fight. let's be serious if Martinez hadn't got ****y the KD wouldn't have happened.

since the WBC stripped Ward, you know they are paving the way for Chavez to get the title.

Chavez will never go back to 160
