Chavez Jr: If I didn’t hurt my hand, I would have KO’d Reyes

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs Marco ReyesBy Dan Ambrose: Mexican star Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (49-2-1, 32 KOs) was quick with the excuses last night in explaining why he looked so pedestrian against Marcos Reyes (33-3, 24 KOs) in winning a dull 10 round unanimous decision at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

This was supposed to be a slam dunk victory for the 29-year-old Chavez Jr. It wasn’t supposed to be competitive at all. A weak-punching 2nd tier middleweight was found for Chavez Jr. to blast to smithereens in one or two rounds, and he failed to do so. What was interesting was how Chavez Jr. blamed his performance on him hurting his left hand, as if that would explain away how poor he looked all throughout the fight.

Julio Chavez Jr. faces Marcos Reyes tonight

Chavez and ReyesBy Yannis Mihanos: An elite fighter should be in top shape any day and anytime. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an elite fighter for the last 18 years. He has been consistent with his work ethic and training; his mojo is plain and simple: “Hard work and dedication”. Former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) fights Marcos Reyes (33-2, 24 KOs) in a 10 round bout on Premier Boxing Champions on Showtime from the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

Often professional fighters fail to arrive close at this level because they fail to follow this rule. Their dedication in the sport of boxing has many holes to fill. Their hard work and dedication comes consistently under doubt.

Chavez Jr. looking to get back to his old level

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Dan Ambrose: Former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) is trying to get back to the level he was at before he was beaten by Sergio Martinez in 2012. This Saturday night, Chavez Jr. will be facing middleweight Marcos Reyes (33-2, 24 KOs) on Premier Boxing Champions on Showtime from the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.
