Fonfara taking him out

I'd give him real credit if he wins. Whatever you think of Stevenson, he's one of the better light heavyweights and Fonfara was competitive.

And Fonfara knocked down Stevenson...not sure how many times that has happened in Stevenson's career... that came also after Fonfara was down twice. So he's got heart and the will to fight until the end. He was easily losing vs Campillo too until he hit him with a wicked body shot and won on TKO.

Wonder what Chavez jr is going to do he runs into guys like Sergey Kovalev, Stevenson, and Juergen Braehmer , he wont be able to walk through those guys punches because he will not be out sizing them and they hit hard.

I have confidence his chin will hold up, it's the body shots that'll rock him. I can't see a K.O. but it's pretty realistic to expect the corner or referee to save him.

Jr NEEDS to be a lot stronger at LH because he won't be that big at LH and Fonfara will much stronger and bigger than anyone he has faced before and Jr is slow and lacks skills and stamina. I hope Fonfara KO's him because if not he will probably get robbed regardless of how many more rounds he won.

Might as well make Light Heavyweight his Division. Chavez Jr vs Stevenson could be a huge fight if he looks good at that weight

JR!!! JR!!! JR!!!! Chavez please man don't let me down again, PRESSURE and ATTACK!!! Do not retreat like a little bish AKA LaBum Cowardson AKA like you did against Vera. That's lame crap. Fight like your father, go forward and catch a body! Otherwise, I'm turning on you on fight night if Fonfara becomes the agressor.

Chavez is a lazy ass son of a b1tch who doesn't care about the sport or his weight. He is a disgrace. Chavez next fight after this will be vs Arreola.

I wonder if Jr is rethinking his fight plan now that he knows you might turn on him

Realistically he has not added on any weight how could he if he was coming into MW fight in the 180s? He is probably in the low 200s and just not using illegal substances to make weights anymore which he couldn't do naturally.
