Comments Thread For: Chavez, Vera Agree To 173 Limit, Ten Round Bout

[mike gonzalez]

Chavez Jr. is to small, he's 6'0" with 73" reach

Chavez vs Wladmir 2014

Wladmir Klitschko is 6'6" with 81" reach, his brother Vitali is 6'7" with 79" reach. Maybe Deontay Wilder 29-0 [29KO's] 6'7" with 84" reach.

He's a Lightheavy and thats that! just make 175 and go from there!
Tired of the promo for this kid he doesn't even know how to jab!
This is a Light Heavyweight bout (175 limit) and a 10 rounder, ring the bell and get it on. Ray.

De****able

[Fetta]

Anybody know how much jr has to lose to get to 173? what Jr is now?

[New England]

Are you ****ing kidding me? This gu is gonna be a cruiserweight in the ring. What a joke. I hope arum realizes what a farce this is.

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

Maybe Fake JCC can make it so he can get 3 time outs during the fight to stop and rest. Why not make Vera stand in his corner between rounds too?

and had the nerve to criticize Canelo's performance against Floyd, at least Canelo made weight

I would bet that Chavez weighs more than 173 when he steps on the scale on Friday and they will try to change the weight limit again. If that happens, I hope the state boxing commission steps in and prevents the fight from happening. No one should be allowed to get away with this kind of crap.

In his next fight, Chavez will be likely be fighting for the WBC 168-pound super-middleweight title at a catchweight of 174 pounds.

This guy is a coward, he is not going to fight over 168. They trying to make this guy numbers like his dad. But his had heart,his first fight should have been at 168, about 50 fights later still not there. Pick on somebody your own size.
