he is a decent MW, at SMW chavez is too big for him...

Hopefully nacho has the right strategy to teach Reyes. But even if Reyes outboxes him I can see a robbery

I don't know about that. They are the same height and since chavez moved up to MW (2011) He only has 2 KOs in 10 fights.

I've seen Reyes fight before. I agree, he's decent. Packs some power, can box when needed and having Nacho on the corner may be a really powerful weapon. I can see him wining the fight.

Reyes is pretty slow and painfully boring to watch...no skills...talent or work rate. He was selected to make Jr look good. He'd need a KO to win anyways. With that being said Jr really has no great skills himself and is also pretty slow although he has a better work rate than Reyes usually. Reyes has a small chance providing Jr goofed off and didn't prepare for this properly...which isn't entirely out of the question...but only if he can catch Jr and KO him. Reyes is NOT Fonfara...so I wouldn't bet on it to happen.
