I wasn’t planning on giving Cesar Chavez Jr any more exposure; sorry I just can’t stand a fighter that continues to make our sport of boxing look bad. This past Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, WBO #1 Ranked Middleweight Bryan Vera put in an amazing performance that should have propelled him to a victory over former WBC Middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.
The entire world on HBO Championship Boxing, with the exception of the three judges at ringside, saw that Vera controlled the action and outlanded Chavez in the bout. Vera also threw 406 more punches and was more consistent throughout the fight.
“I won the fight like everybody else saw, “said Vera.
Gwen Adair (98-92), Carla Caiz (96-94) and Marty Denkin (97-93) unanimously called the fight for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. against Bryan Vera, raising boos from the pro-Chavez crowd.
“The one judge had it 98-92, which basically means that Bryan Vera wasn’t even in the fight and they didn’t give him credit for a thing he did,” Vera promoter Artie Pelullo said.
Even Bob Arum talked crap about Chavez on this recent interview below.
Although Bryan Vera did not get the decision victory so many believe he deserved word is that a rematch will take place December 7 or December 14 in Texas where Vera residents.
Chavez was the bigger star with the far bigger name and, sadly, that determines the outcome more than what goes on in the ring in fights these days.
