    How shocked were you to see Julio Cesar Chavez get put flat on his back by a single straight shot? It shocks me every time I watch it.

    I think when people say 'peach of a punch', they mean what happened here. Still his chin is iron, crazy.

    He couldn't have been hit with a cleaner, straighter shot. He disguised the right hand with the left jab, and the right was straight as an arrow, straight through the guard. Still, shocking to see the great Julio Cesar Chavez be put down at all, let alone by a single shot.

    Not shocked at all........ I was stoked........ I knew Randall had the goods, but he lacked focus in the past...... But in 1994, Randall got his **** together..........

    Randall got butt-****ed in the May rematch of '94........... We all know Chavez was a lucky mo-fo to have King and the judges on his side..... Randall was again schooling Chavez......... A robbery took place in the rematch.......

    Come the 2004 rubber match in Mexico, both guys were faded, but Randall more so...... Chavez looked better trained, while Randall looked alright for age 41 or 42.......... The rubber bout was tactical and kinda' dull........... Chavez won.....

    Even more, Chavez should've lost the rematch, too. I'm certain he would have had Randall not been DQ'd for that unintentional head butt. I've never understood how Chavez could get the win just because of that when he wasn't even winning the fight to begin with.
