By Jason Kim: All for hyping a fighter when they’ve shown some legitimate talent and the ability to beat the current champions in whatever division they’re fighting. However, I’m less patient about hyping a fighter that beats another B level fighter and then starts crowing about how they’re going to be a champion. Last Saturday night, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) did a good job of grinding out a 12 round decision over John Duddy (29-2, 18 KO’s) at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas.

Chavez Jr. could be fighting Zbik next
By Jason Kim: According to the latest news, undefeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) could be fighting unbeaten World Boxing Council interim middleweight champion Sebastian Zbik (29-0, 10 KO’s) next rather than the full WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez. This is would give Chavez’s trainer Freddie Roach another fight to work on technique with the young 24-year-old Chavez before throwing him in with either Martinez or WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto.
What could Duddy have done to beat Chavez?
By Jim Dower: John Duddy (29-2, 18 KO’s) gave a good account of himself on Saturday night in his 12 round decision loss to unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) in San Antonio, Texas. Duddy, 31, has nothing to be ashamed of because he fought remarkably well during the first half of the fight and if he could have maintained the high pace of the fight then he would have had an excellent chance of beating Chavez Jr.
Does Chavez Jr. stand a chance against Cotto?
By Matt Stein: Bob Arum said after Saturday’s fight between Julio Cesar Chavez (41-0-1, 30 Kos) and John Duddy (29-2, 18 KO’s) that there’s a chance that Chavez could move back down in weight to 154 for a bout against WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto. The fight, if it does take place, will probably happen at a stadium in either New York or Texas.

By Dave Lahr: Bob Arum looked like he was in ecstasy last night after Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) defeated John Duddy (29-2, 18 KO’s) by a 12 round decision at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. Arum, looking almost like he was gloating, said a new super star has been born, referring to the 24-year-old Chavez.
Chavez Jr. says “I am going to be a world champion” after beating Duddy
By Dan Ambrose: New WBC Silver middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) seems to be getting a little ahead of himself after beating fringe middleweight contender John Duddy (29-2, 18 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision last Saturday night at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. Chavez Jr. hurt the 31-year-old Duddy a number of times in their fight, causing him to wobble in the 8th, 9th and 11th round from big right hands and left hooks. Chavez Jr. showed good power, but didn’t look all that fast, didn’t move very well and showed really poor defense.
Chavez Jr. might go to 154 for Cotto fight, Arum says
By William Mackay: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum was busy putting all his ducks in a row after one of his fighters unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) defeated John Duddy (29-2, 18 KO’s) tonight by a 12 round unanimous decision at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. Arum, not one to wait around before looking for more opportunities for his Top Rank fighters, said that the 24-year-old Chavez Jr. could be moving back down to 154 junior middleweight to challenge WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto for his World Boxing Association title next.
Will Chavez Jr. fight Cotto or Sergio Martinez next?
By Jason Kim: Earlier tonight, number #1 WBC junior middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) won an impressive 12 round unanimous decision over middleweight John Duddy (29-2, 18 KO’s) at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas.
Chavez dominates Duddy in one-sided decision
By Chris Williams: Unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) stayed undefeated on Saturday night, easily defeating John Duddy (29-2, 18 KO’s) by a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision to win the WBC Silver middleweight title at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. The final judges’ scores were 120-108, 116-112 and 117-111, all for the 24-year-old Chavez. I had Chavez easily the winning the fight by 11 rounds to 1. Duddy looked horrible throughout. Chavez didn’t look all that great either, but good enough to beat a fighter like Duddy. Chavez once again proves that he can beat a B level fighter.
Roach thinks Chavez Jr. will knock Duddy out
By Chris Williams: For what it’s worth, trainer Freddie Roach thinks that his new unbeaten fighter Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) will knock John Duddy (29-1, 18 KO’s) out tonight in their 12 round fight for the obscure WBC Silver title at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. Even if Chavez does stop Duddy, which I highly doubt, what difference does it make?
