The Boxing Truth®

After amassing an undefeated record of 42-0-1, with 30 Knockouts and scoring six successful title defenses of the WBC World Jr. Middleweight championship Saul “Canelo” Alvarez had clearly established himself as a star of the sport of Boxing.   Alvarez’ impressive resume earned him the opportunity to square off against pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather in a unification clash in September of last year.

Leading up to the rematch between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Bryan Vera this observer stated that when it came to rematches Chavez had shown the ability to improve the second time around. When Chavez and Vera met for their rematch on March 1st in San Antonio, Texas, Chavez proved to be true to form as it was evident from the beginning that this would be a much different fight than the first encounter. The primary difference between the first fight and the rematch was in large part Chavez’ ability to be more active and to somewhat reverse the tempo of the first fight in that he was the one who applied consistent pressure while using good lateral movement to set up his offense. The first fight in contrast, was completely opposite as Vera was consistently aggressive, applying pressure and never seemed to stop throwing punches. It was Chavez’ thudding punches and considerably increased offensive output that set the pace of the rematch. Although the always “Game” Bryan Ver...
