Michael Clark and Mike Alvarado are already in the ring.

12-01-2007, 10:14 PM
Clark hurts his hand with the first punch he throws. After 90 seconds the ref takes Clark to the Doctor who asks Clark if he wants to continue and he doesn't.

Alvarado barely got off a punch and gets himself a 1 round TKO victory.

Up next Ivan Calderon vs Juan Esquer

royyjonesjrp4pno1
12-01-2007, 11:08 PM
So far after 11 rounds i got it 8-3 for Calderon. 107-102.

It may be closer on the cards because Esquer is coming forward and the crowd goes crazy everytime he throws.

royyjonesjrp4pno1
12-01-2007, 11:12 PM
Esquer won the last round it could be close on the official scorecards. Calderon did nothing in the last round.

I got it 116-112 for Calderon.

Sanchez landed and threw more in round 1. Chavez is in a feeling out process.

Round 1 to Sanchez.

Round 2 is fought at a much faster pace. Both guys come out swinging. Sanchez landed more but Chavez hurt him at the end of the round.

I got it 19-19.

royyjonesjrp4pno1
12-02-2007, 12:15 AM
Round 3 is another great round. Sanchez is throwing and landing more but Chavez is landing the bigger more damaging punches.

I got it 29-28 for Chavez.

royyjonesjrp4pno1
12-02-2007, 12:20 AM
Sanchez was impressive in round 4. He kept the fight at range and landed combos. Chavez landed some good punches at the end of the round but Sanchez already won the round.

38-38

royyjonesjrp4pno1
12-02-2007, 12:24 AM
Round 5 is one of the rounds of the year. Sanchez stands flat footed and they trade. Chavez harder punches but Sanchez landed more. For the last 30 seconds they just traded bombs.

Sanchez 48-47

royyjonesjrp4pno1
12-02-2007, 12:26 AM
In round 6 Chavez lands a huge right hand that hurts Sanchez. He backs up into the ropes and Chavez hammers him with a brutal combination. Sanchez goes down and doesn't get up.

Exciting is underselling it - the fight was easily one of the 10 best fights this year, which is saying something considering how many great fights we've had in 2007. Chavez Jr. proved a lot tonight. Like it or not, he's a future star at whatever decision he decides to make his run.

RJJ, you and I were only one round off on Calderon-Esquer (I had it 117-111) and one off on JCC-Sanchez (I scored the 5th for Chavez, but a close and GREAT round). Sanchez was up on two of the three cards at the time of the stoppage.

Yeah, but he's still making the most of the opportunities he's being given.

You don't think that Lou DiBella would pimp the hell out of Ronald Hearns or James McGirt Jr if he could? Mexican fans WANT to see more of Chavez Jr. and from what I've seen thus far, nary a fan of his feels cheated by night's end. Hell, there was almost a riot last night with fans ready to throw down w/ po-po and security just to get a picture of him.

Last night was a good step up, though. Top Rank even admitted that it was overdue, and necessary. Arum said he'd like to have Chavez next face Baldomir in January, then Gomez in March or April. Not much, but certainly a step forward from where he's been, and honestly not that far behind most of today's prospects.

Everyone hails the Peterson brothers as the potential future of their respective divisions. I'm high on them myself. But who the fuck have either of them ever faced? And they both have deep ammy backgrounds. Is their competition any more respectable than that of Chavez?

And again I say, the audience Arum targets (pimps) doesn't feel cheated in the least. In fact, they can't get enough. Those who don't like it, aren't watching.

It's pretty simple.

and I quote:
Sanchez was a hell of a amatuer, he for some reason never seemed to really shine in the pros yet, he beat some very good fighters, including Juan Diaz twice in the am's, I think that there is a great chance that he wins saturday.

I am going to throw a few bucks on him.

Sanchez was just caught, simple as that. Ive seen him take better punches and possibly underestimated his opponent, no way he does that Saturday, Arum may have made a mistake by putting this in New Mexico.

Kassim Ouma and many other guys were KOed or beaten by fighters with crappy records early in their career but show a helluva better chin and much better skills later when they are more prepared.

Can't have it both ways. Either you're dead wrong about Chavez, or Sanchez was never what you previously sold.

12-03-2007, 01:03 PM
I never said that he would lose but I said that Sanchez wasnt as chinny as you said and I said that there is a great chance that he could win and it wouldnt hurt to throw some money on him, tell me where I said that he would win?
I had him winning at the time he was KOed so my word was kind of right, he did have a good chance at winning as it showed during the fight.
Jr had to be at least 20 pounds bigger or more than Sanchez still, I think Gomez pounces on him, hell, I would love to see him even fight Ben Tackie in his next fight.

If Chavez Jr actually knew more than just bumrushing smaller guys and he didnt get backed up by journeymen many times that he fought them or if he didnt eat right hands like they were candy then I would be on the bandwagon but after 35 pro fights, a few amatuer fights and having your dad as a legend he still hasnt learned and I will never be on his bandwagon.

The guy is talented in a sense but is he championship talented, NOPE!
Can you honestly tell me that you thought he won both of those fights with Molina?
He EASILY could be 33-1 0r 32-2 right now.

but that's what I'm saying - you gave Sanchez a chance all along, yet here you are (or were) along with everyone else trashing Chavez after the fact.

I didn't see if they posted post-hydration weigh-in results. Not sure there was a 20 lb. difference between the two, just by looking at them. But if that's your beef... then I don't know. Maybe Sanchez should've never accepted assignment. His cornermen were bitching as early as an hour before the weigh-in that Jr. was "illegally" checking his weight, before Top Rank told them that Ray was free to do the same.

All I know is, people noted how scrawny Jr. looked at the weigh-in, while Ray in fact looked like the much bigger (read: thicker) fighter.

If Chavez Jr actually knew more than just bumrushing smaller guys and he didnt get backed up by journeymen many times that he fought them or if he didnt eat right hands like they were candy then I would be on the bandwagon but after 35 pro fights, a few amatuer fights and having your dad as a legend he still hasnt learned and I will never be on his bandwagon.

The guy is talented in a sense but is he championship talented, NOPE!
Can you honestly tell me that you thought he won both of those fights with Molina?
He EASILY could be 33-1 0r 32-2 right now.
I think he'll win an alphabet title or two before all is said and done. If that's what you meant by championship material, then I'd disagree. Champion in the sense that he'll be the absolute best of whatever weight class he;s at - probably not, nor have I ever suggested it, and neither has too many others. Top Ranks says it, sure - they're his promoter.

As for Molina, I thought the judges got it right on both occasions. Maybe the rematch maybe could've been a draw, but no way Molina won that fight. The first fight, maybe. But I thought a draw was just. And I thought Jr. won the rematch. You'd have to give Molina the absolute max benefit of the doubt to have him winning both fights, which is sounds like is exactly what you're doing.

I don't disagree with Sanchez being up after 5. But unfortunately for Ray, it was a 10 round fight.

Let me get this straight. Chavez Jr was behind on the cards, losing to a club fighter and manages to get the KO and win the fight. Nobody sees anything wrong with the fact that he was losing the fight when he scored the KO? and a lot of you are saying he has a bright future based on this?

He will lose to Alfonso Gomez.

He was down on two of the three cards, yes.

And I will gladly accept any bets on the potential Chavez-Gomez fight next year.

It was pretty obvious Sanchez never had a chance, not because he lacked skills, but Chavez was so much bigger it was just a matter of time. Hey I guess that is what a promoter has to do, but Chavez will be in trouble against a skilled fighter, who is as big as he is.

Steve Kim:

"With the latest Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. pay-per-view show doing much better than expected - around 70,000 buys - it's clear that Top Rank believes that they can go to the well often with this kid. Arum says that their next Chavez pay-per-view will take place on February 9th in Leon, Mexico. Jose Celaya has been mentioned as an opponent.

And because of this development, don't expect Arum to go through with a bout against Alfonso Gomez. Not only does he not have to haggle with HBO over license fees, but he can make consistent money with his 'Latin Fury' series while taking on fighters who don't pose the threat that Gomez would at this point."

What I don't understand is how did Sanchez become a big win for Chavez jr.

I read on different websites and boards how this was Chavez jr's best win to date. One thing is that he struggled and another that it was a good win.

I had never heard of Sanchez so I don't consider this a step up.

I understand Chavez jr. didn't really have an amateur carreer. But it seems like he will reach 40 pro fights before steping up the competition.:dunno:

If they are reluctant with putting him with Gomez or Baldomir they must not have too much confidence with the kid.
