JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR WILL SURPRISE FANS WITH HIS SHOWING By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Fri, 18 Jun 2010  Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao?s conditioning guru Alex Ariza says undefeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (41-0-1, 30 KO?s) will surprise fight fans with his showing against Ireland?s John Duddy (29-1, 18 KO?s) when they clash at the Alamadome in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, June 26 (Sunday morning Manila Time.) The undefeated No.1 contender and son of the Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez has been working out at the Wild Card Gym under four-time ?Trainer of the Year? award winner Freddie Roach and Ariza, who told us Chavez ?is doing very well. With all the rumors about being lazy and all the problems we might have, he?s been the complete opposite.? Ariza said Chavez Jr is ?a great athlete, a hard worker. They said he wouldn?t be able to get up at 5 o?clock in the morning but he?s been doing it every day. He deserves a lot of credit.? The conditioning expert said Chavez Jr had the flu when he first arrived in Los Angeles but had overcome everything including his weight problems and that everyone is ? going to be pleasantly surprised how well he?s done. And he?s been great with Freddie (Roach) who is such an incredible teacher that Chavez is picking up on all of it.? Ariza also indicated Chavez Jr would have no problems making the weight for the ?Latin Fury 15? card of Top Rank headed by promoter Bob Arum association with Zanfer Promotions of Fernando Beltran and Tecate. The fight card will be telecast in the Philippines by the giant broadcast network ABS-CBN over Studio 23 at 11:00 a.m. The 24 year old Chavez Jr who will battle Duddy for the newly minted, vacant WBC Silver super middleweight title is coming off a ten round unanimous decision over Troy Rowland (25-2, 7 KO?s) last November 14 after scoring a 1st round TKO over Jason Le Houllier (21-1-1, 8 KO?s) on September 12, 2009. The 30 year old Duddy is also coming off two good wins. He won a split decision over tough Michael Medina (23-1-2, 18 KO?s) last March 13 after earlier scoring a 1st round TKO over Juan Astorga (14-3-1, 9 KO?s). Duddy is the former IBA and former WBC Continental Americas middleweight champion. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
