Any news on Willies plans. Maybe a fight at the Stadium:hey

 

The Chavez last name is definitely no stranger to the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX. It is there where Julio Cesar Chavez fought Pernell Whitaker to a controversial twelve round draw in front of more than 63,000 fight fans. To this day, that fight is one of the top five most attended boxing events in US history. One June 26th the Chavez name returns to the Alamodome. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (40-0-1) will take on what many consider to be his toughest opponent to date in John Duddy (28-1) from Ireland. At last Thursday’s press conference in the Alamodome, Fightnews got the chance to sit down with the son of whom many consider Mexico’s greatest pound for pound fighter to gather his thoughts on his opponent, what it is like working with new trainer Freddie Roach, and who he would like to call out of retirement and why?

What is your opinion of your opponent John Duddy?

He is a very strong, very good fighter. I think I’m going to win. I believe that he’s the type of fighter that has already reached his peak. He’s not going to get better.

How does Duddy rank compared to your past opponents? Is he the toughest?

Well on paper he is the toughest. Come June 26th, we’ll see if he’s the toughest.

What are you planning to focus on in particular? Anything different?

I’ve been working harder than before. With the focus on my conditioning. We’re looking at his weaknesses.

What is it like working with Freddie Roach?

He’s a good trainer. Right now, he’s my best friend in the world. We have a bet going on as to if I can be able to speak English faster than he can learn to speak Spanish. Right now I am ahead three to one. (Laughing)

What makes Roach such a great trainer?

It’s his dedication to his fighters. Boxing is his life.

Does Roach have you working on anything different?

We’re working on conditioning and strength. Freddie wants to prepare me for all twelve rounds.

Who are your sparring partners for this upcoming fight?

Vanes Martirosyan and some Russian fighters.

What type of a role is your father playing if any in your career right now?

He’ll accompany me to the ring that night. He’s basically letting me work with Roach. I’m training in LA. He’s in Mexico. We talk on the phone everyday. That’s about it.

Were you disappointed in the fact Oscar De La Hoya retired? Was there any truth to you wanting to fight him?

I wanted to fight because the people wanted it, but my career is not about Oscar De La Hoya. I have my own plans.

Do you ever think you could convince him to come out of retirement to seek revenge for your father?

I would like that to happen. It would be revenge for the Mexican people. Not for me.

Do you have any memories of when your father fought Pernell Whitaker in the Alamodome back in 1993?

I was here but I was only seven years old, so I don’t remember a lot. I just remember it was very full. (Points to the bleachers).

In closing, what would you like to say to your fans?

You are going to get a great surprise from me.


What do ya,s reckon lads can roach turn him around in time to give Duddy a battle ?

 

Was talking to roach the other day he was saying he would have liked a tune up before putting chavez in with duddy

Lets be honest about this

Freddie is a great trainer but when chavez starts getting hit and starts getting pressured will he really stick to the game plan?

What happens when he is throwing everything hes got and duddy keeps coming forward will he keep his composure?

for me the answer to all the above questions is no

 

If your right and Duddy walks away with the W, then a world title fight would be next on cards for him:yep

 

I think you are underrating Chavez. I know Duddy has a great chin but Chavez has plenty of power, it's not like Duddy will be able to walk through them like nothing. I think this will go the distance and I think Chavez will get a fairly clear UD.

Duddy looked awful last time out so I can't say I'm too confident. Hope I am wrong though.

 

i want you prunty my team are waiting for the phone call lets get it on big man any place anytime

 

Lets not forget that this is the first time Chavez is getting in the ring with a propper middleweight who is coming to not just beat him but to beat him up.

If you check out Chavez's last fight he looked 10 times worse than duddy did!

 

dealdeal

 

whats that mean
