Chavez Jr. is saying that he’d like to fight Golovkin if he’s willing to come up all the way to the super middleweight division to fight him at the full weight for the class at 168 pounds. Golovkin is said to be willing to fight former IBF/WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch at 168, so there’s a possibility he might be interested in facing Chavez Jr. at that weight as well.

Chavez Jr. to focus on boxing skills for Marcos Reyes fight

by

chavez9999By Dan Ambrose: The recently beaten former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) says he’s going to be focusing on using his boxing skills in order to get hit from now on in his fights. Chavez Jr., 29, was stopped after the 9th round after he quit in his corner last April against light heavyweight Andrzej Fonfara in their fight at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Chavez Jr. says he got tired in that fight after the 5th round, as he didn’t train right. He says Fonfara’s bigger size was also a problem. For Chavez Jr’s next fight against little known Marcos Reyes (33-2, 24 KOs) on July 18th, Chavez Jr. will be going back to the basics by using his jab, movement, and focusing on not getting hit as much. Chavez Jr. doesn’t want to be a “Rocky” type fighter any longer.

Chavez Jr, 29, cannot afford to lose this fight because if he does, he’ll likely take a big hit in his rankings. Chavez Jr. lost his last fight to light heavyweight Andrzej Fonfara after quitting on his stool after the 9th round last April. While Chavez Jr. did slip a little in the rankings, he remains ranked high at #5 WBC, #8 WBA.
