Chavez Jr. talking about not meeting expectations.....the irony!

[sterilizer]

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. saw his countryman Saul "Canelo" Alvarez as the rightful winner last Saturday night in Las Vegas, but he feels Canelo has failed to meet the expectations that were required of him.

He says Canelo did not pull out the win that many predicted coming in. Many experts who picked Canelo to win had predicted a victory by knockout.

Canelo was satisfied with his performance. At only 25-years-old, he say there is a still a lot to learn as his career progresses forward.

"Canelo looked good, but he did not fulfill the expectations that we expected or wanted, because they were talking about him being the new figure of boxing. He is a good champion, he was at the level of Cotto, he connected with the best shots and won, but I did not see many advances that would indicate that Canelo is a great fighter," Chavez Jr. told ESPN Deportes. "He fights well, good stamina, but he always fights at the same pace and always displays the same speed."

WOW Chavez Jr. may be a total bum as a boxer, but he seems to be a very good boxing analyst. I really don't mean it as a joke, I am serious. I agree with everything he said, except the stamina thing, which is utterly laughable. Just because Chavez Jr has even less stamina than Canelo, doesn't mean the latter has "good stamina". Not a chance. If he had stamina he would have KO'd Cotto. And Trout. And Lara. And Mosley. And the list goes on. And he would probably have at least knocked Floyd down as well. That's why GGG can destroy him (and he knows it) because they both may have similar punching power but GGG has the stamina to finish the job. Instead of just one to three powerful shots and then stop for fear of running out of gas, Golovkin can step on the gas pedal and keep on throwing until he destroys his opponent.

But other than the stamina thing, I think Chavez Jr., a bum and all, is 100% right.

chavez jr fights like that because that's the only thing he can do he has no skill or work ethic.I thought canelo boxed beautifully and it was not a boring fight.you want to see boring watch rigo's fight against the Filipino on the same card.

Come on dawg, everyone expected Canelo would at least try to get a KO.

He looked much bigger, stronger and faster. There was no excuse for him to not even try. It was disappointing.

Chavez Jr. sounds jealous

Chavez Jr. should be supporting his Mexican patriot and not criticizing him. Make weight for once Chavez Jr. before you comment on someone doing more than you are. Try repping your father's name with some pride and get serious bout your profession then maybe you can mention Canelo's name.

Well, whenever Jr. fought it was always for a KO. He usually left it all in the ring. Lazy and less talented though he may be.

Canelos win over Cotto was very unsatisfying and quite boring. Expected Canelo to act as if he was fighting for his life, instead he was casual and not interested in action or hurting Cotto.

Terrible fight, that really deflated expectations. People expected so much more. Very disappointing.
