Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Temporary Suspension Extended By Nevada Commission

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr's third strike with the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) could prove problematic anywhere else in the United States, including his next sought destination. The second-generation boxer once again found himself at the mercy of the Nevada commission, whose panel voted unanimously to extend his temporary suspension during its monthly meeting Wednesday morning at state headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada. The matter will be revisited during the next commission meeting, which is scheduled for Dec. 18.

Now at risk as a result is a planned Dec. 20 clash between Mexico's Chavez Jr. (51-3-1, 33KOs) and Brooklyn's Daniel Jacobs (35-3, 29KOs), with the super middleweight battle of former middleweight titliststo stream live on DAZN-earlier relocated from Las Vegas to the Talking Stick Resorts Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.

We won't know if he gets another chance till the 18th but it seems unlikely.

I remember when some important writer at The Ring (can't remember who right now) wrote "Trust us: Chavez Jr is the goods" at the beginning of his career.

This guy ruins everything for himself and those close to him, even his opponents. Why can't he just retire already?

Can someone please help understand how Vegas decision impacts the Arizona match?

which was based 100% off his name, since I don't even think Junior had ONE amateur fight lol

It's in the Ali act to prevent **** like this. If someone fails a drug test and is suspended, each state respects that suspension.

So they move the hearing two days before the fight, giving Matchroom enough time to milk the ticket sales and then pull the bait and switch with Rosado.

Move the fight to Tijuana, call their suspension bluff, would the NSAC refuse a Canelo Vs. Callum Smith for example if Matchroom is part of the promotion? I doubt it.
