Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Weighs in at 178, More Confident of Shocking Canelo

If Chavez is in great shape and better defense....spells trouble

I'm still picking Canelo but if Nacho improves his defense and he's in great shape Canelo will have to go through hell to win. Chavez has shown an iron chin and will so if the tightens up everything else he'll give Canelo a lot of problems. I'm still going with Canelo because he's the smarter fighter.

Shedding 13lbs off of that frame is going to hurt.

I was thinking "Chavez is looking on track! No problem!" Then I read your post and realized how lean he looks at 178...

Jr. Is taking a career ending beatdown.

Memo probably has Jr on some of that prime Mexican beef. The stuff that has the clenbuterol in!

However, irrespective of that, if Chavez gets down to a training weight of around 176 or so I can see that he will make the weight. Obviously lighter would be better and make for an easier "cut" but he's still got plenty of time to get down there.

C'mon lets do this Jr
War ******!

Easy win for Carrot top.

Funny to see people now actually backing off their blowout claims. I've said it, don't count this dude out. Nacho wasn't taking him into that gym to half @zz it.

Is VADA testing in place for this fight?

Yes, not sure if it's vada or usada but Chavez Jr mentioned in an interview that they had shown up to test him that morning.

Sorry but this kid is going to be totally drained at 165!
To bad the federations and boxing commissions have no ba!!z, to step in and stop these types of contracts.
This Golden Boy team is a disgrace and Oscar will soon enough be taken down a few pegs once Canelo has reached his crest.

Oscar is a huge negative in the sport, shame on him as he preached he would do things better than the old promoters did. He's worse!

Was just thinking the exact same thing looking at that pick of junior, where is he going to take the weight from? chopping his head and **** off?

I just posted something about De La Greeda in the History section along the same lines... Ray it takes a lot for me to bad mouth a fighter... I agree with you 100 about De La Hoya and his impact on the sport as a promoter and as a person... and I have no problem with cross dressers and even drug users if they do not involve others and take care of their affairs... But some people are snakes and do not care how they injure others.

That dude is going to eat so much leather come fight night it is going to be funny and sad at the same time. They may throw in the towel.
