Lee Praises Chavez's Power, Sees Tough Task For Sergio

•Jun 17, 2012

WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. recovered from a slow start he blamed on leg cramps and stopped Andy Lee at 2:21 of the seventh round Saturday night to retain his belt at the Sun Bowl in El Paso. Chavez (46-0-1, 32 KOs) began tentatively, not even throwing his first punch until 75 seconds had elapsed in the first round, and was initially outboxed by Lee (28-2), a much taller challenger than Chavez had previously faced. But as the next two rounds passed, the Mexican champion began to stalk Lee, blasting him with right-cross counterpunches.

The most anxious part of any given event featuring Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. isn’t how he will do in the ring, but how he looks when he hits the scales. All fears were alleviated on Friday afternoon, when the second-generation fighter showed up at a lean 159 lb. for his middleweight title defense against Andy Lee on Saturday night at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. HBO will televise the bout, which is preceded on the broadcast (Saturday, 10PM ET) by the exclusive replay of last week’s welterweight bout between Tim Bradley and Manny Pacquiao.

Chavez Jr. vs. Lee: The Trainers Prediction Roundtable

David P. Greisman

•Jun 16, 2012

Sam Garcia (Chavez Jr.): “I think this is actually a good fight for Chavez Jr. I think Andy Lee is susceptible to taking punishment. He’s going to bring the fight, and that’s something that Chavez Jr. obviously needs in order to look good. If he’s fighting a boxer who’s going to try and be a stylist and things like that, then that can give Chavez Jr. problems, but I think Chavez Jr.’s size really will be the difference. I think he wins a one-sided decision, maybe late stoppage. He’s so big — if he comes in anywhere close to what he did the last fight, I think he’s just going to be too big the night of the fight.”

by Cliff Rold - The controversy remains after last weekend’s big fight but the game rolls on. This weekend, Pacquiao-Bradley goes to the rearview mirror (okay, minus the HBO replay) in favor of two compelling main events on two separate networks. HBO brings us one of the hottest young stars in boxing and the scion of Mexico’s ultimate legend. NBC Sports brings us a Heavyweight fight between two men proven to be a cut below the Klitschko’s but fine fighters in their own right. Sadly, the specter of possible judging problems remains. We want to ignore it but, really, can we? Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tomasz Adamek toe the line this weekend against men capable of defeating them, but with big time home field advantages.
