After stripping off clothes to get as much weight off as possible, Chavez Jr. still weighed in .8 over the limit for the fight. However, the fight will still take place. Chavez Jr. reportedly agreed to pay Reyes’ team for being overweight for the fight. Reyes weighed in at 168.4lbs.

(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.

It’s supposed to be a mismatch, but I don’t think there’s such a thing as a mismatch for Chavez Jr. nowadays. Every live body they throw in the ring with him has a chance of beating him.

By 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.

By Dan Ambrose: Next month, former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) will be back in the ring in a 10 round bout against little known fighter names Marcos Reyes (33-2, 24 KO) on July 18th in a 10 round bout at the Don Haskins Convention Center, in El Paso, Texas, USA.

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.
