Why was Chavez trying to fight like Martinez?

[PhooLzRUs]

Did anyone else notice this? I still think the best Chavez was the one that fought Andy Lee. He seems to be constantly changing his style.

[bojangles1987]

I think he knew going in he didn't have the stamina to fight for 10 rounds in the trenches like he has been.

[Hougigo]

I thought he was. He had his hands down most the time and was leaning forwards.... that's about it though. He was super slow mo and I don't remember if he threw any combinations from there....

[Beercules]

Stoned out of his mind

[johnm is...]

It probably went something like...

"well, this style beat my ****ing ass 11.5 rounds. Might as well give it a go. If it doesn't work, fuck it, I'll still win on the cards."

[PhooLzRUs]

If he would of just fought his normal style and used his size this would of been an easy win for him.

[JaguaresMx]

No stamina. Which is UNUSUAL for him. No combos and no sustained attacked. He looked gassed after 1 round and admitted it.

It's easy to **** on Chavez right now, but he was inactive and out of shape. And not just boxer out of shape; regular people out of shape.

The Chavez that assaulted Andy Lee would have wrecked Vera in 2-3 rounds last nights.

But does he have the desire?

It's weird. He used to be seen as a bum living off his name. Now it is clear he has some good talent that he refused to develop. This guy just didn't train for Sergio and nearly took him out in the 12th. It actually just got more frustrating.

he looked crazy good in that fight. Good head movement, footwork, body punching, decent defense. He really needs to get back to that Chavez.

St8 bob arum homecooking. Chavez is a name HBO is hurting no money behind Vera a lot of reasons business wise Vera had to knockout the cruiser weight to get the W. sad and disheartening due that is the real reason FMJ will not fight 12 rds with pacman knowing he has to knock him out to win. C gift decision of FMJ vs Castillo 1. FMJ was with top rAnk at the time.

He kind of fought like that against Manfredo.
