First off he fought Fonfara who is a top 5 lightheavyweight and he fought him at his weight (well, more or less).
The fight starts off and Chavez realizes how badly outmatched he was from long range. He just didn't want to be there. He didn't think Fonfara was all that. In the first two rounds, he just wanted to quit, that was too much for him.
Then he's like, screw it, I am going after this guy and I am going to try to break him on the inside. He took a beating for 9 rounds but he was also landing good shots on Fonfara, but he tried so hard and for so long considering the amount of punishment he took.
In the end of it all, he was badly outmatched and he tried his hardest going into the lion's den and got beaten up, and it was a good thing he quit, as he was going to get beat up a lot worse in the next 3 rounds provided he was still standing.
I was really impressed with his determination and his courage as his technique is absolutely atrocious, his boxing IQ is below average but that guy fought hard. He isn't a Provodnikov or a Margarito but he's tough.
I think everyone hates him for turning down GGG but GGG can maybe learn smth from Chavez and fight somebody as good as Fonfara.
