Chavez Jr. pulls out of Wolak fight – News

By Jason Kim: Unbeaten #1 WBC middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) has reportedly pulled out of his scheduled December 4th bout against junior middleweight contender Pawel Wolak (27-1, 17 KO’s), according to fightnews.com. Chavez Jr. apparently has the flu and it’s gotten in the way of his ability to train for the fight. The card has been plagued by problems, Chavez Jr. was supposed to fight Alfonso Gomez, but he hurt his elbow during training and had to pull out of the fight.

Wolak, who like Chavez Jr. fights for Top Rank, was available to step in for Gomez to fight Chavez. Now, the illness for Chavez Jr. wipes this fight out and really hurts the pay-per-view card, which is supposed to go for $44. There’s still two decent fights on the card Nonito Donaire vs. Volodymyr Sydorenko and Humberto Soto vs. Urbano Antillon, but that might be asking a lot of fans to pay that kind of money for these two fights and an undercard of obscure fighters.

There’s talk of Chavez Jr. possibly fighting WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto next year. Chavez Jr. is also interested in fighting WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez. With Chavez’s number 1 ranked in the WBC, he’s certainly in the position to fight Martinez. However, it’s doubtful Arum will allow Chavez to be put in with Martinez, because Chavez Jr. will almost certainly be slaughtered by Martinez and he could end up badly hurt in the process of getting destroyed by the Argentinian fighter. Arum will likely keep Chavez Jr. far away from Martinez and continue to match him against either B level fighters. If he does match Chavez against anyone decent, it’s going to be Cotto, one of his Top Rank fighters.

    Hey Joker c let me tell you something it seen you dont like cotto But cotto would kill Chavez jr. it look like to me you dont know about boxing or you dont like P.R.

  • armandoaguirre says:

    chavez jr. at first said that he wanted to make a name for himself apart from his father. well after seven yrs. he has only been able to hang on to his fathers stardom. he hasn’t fought anyone worth mentioning. of his 41 fights half have gone 3 rounds or less, he has fought 2 or 3 opponents twice, and pulled out of fights that he is not sure that he can win. what has become of boxing? back in the day fighters made their name by beating the best,not fighting the rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • marquez says:

    Chavez Jr. is a joke. His father shoould be ashamed. Cotto will destroy him if they ever fight and Martinez would simply murder him in the ring. He is a bum who happens to have a good family name and thats it!

  • Angel says:

    Bob arum didnt want to risk chavez. Same thing with pacquiao he just wants the money

  • BOXING FAN says:

    HERE WE GO AGAIN. WHEN WILL HE GOING TO FIGHT THE ELITE FIGHTER SUCH AS COTTO OR WHATEVER.

  • DeadScared says:

    Chavez Jr. better go back for Al Gomez next year if he wants to save his career. A fight with Cotto would surely deal him a nightmare. And you needn’t have to ask his dad about it. We don’t seen any dramatic change to Jr.’s fighting skills yet and worse, he seemed to have lost his power as he increased in weight.. I don’t know Wolak but Gomez I think would quit against Jr.(standing or lying down)if they fought.

  • Joker R says:

    So Wolak asked Chavez JR twice for a fight and he aways backed away from so this was the chamce for the fight and he is backing away from it also last time everything was on but Chavez JR said he was inj and he couldnt fight Wolak now this happens i think Chavez is scare to get punch and loose his title so he is pulling out from the fight i hope this fight will happen and i wanna see him get his ass beaten up!!

  • apatz says:

    @clown_can u name the boxer jotto beat to win his title?

  • clown says:

    Sergio Martinez should not fight Chavez jr. He might be caught up behind bars because that fight would be a murder.

    Chavez jr. thinks that Miguel Cotto he is a Tijuana Cab Driver that he can beat. Well, listen to this, Miguel Cotto is a world champion.

    Chavez jr. is a clown.

  • Fo realz says:

    What a bum.

  • What Count says:

    The Chavez fight went from bad, to worse, to gone. Good. $20 for the rest of the show.

  • Joker C/east salas ca says:

    Martinez will probably beat Chavez,but chavez will destroy hoto.
