    If everything goes well, he wants Sergio next

    source B24

    Decent names all around for ganja kid's return imo. In case Jr. fights Barker or Macklin, I can see Chavez one-upping Sergio's victories over them, then finish what he started with the old man next. Sexy wont be saved by the bell again, this time he'll remain at Chavez' feet, weeping.

    On another note, Chavez will stay training with Roach. interesting.

    the biggest question is what did Chavez Jr. weight at his highest point in the last 7 months. I know he can make 160, but if he was near 200 then that weakens him especially since he is naturally so much bigger than 160 at this point.

    I think Vera gets the call. He's had three decent wins, a bit of a draw in Texas, and pretty stationary.

    Macklin is the dangerous out of those 3 which barker is second dangerous so look for chavez jr to face an easy opponent vera next watch.

    Stop being a dumb a$$. Chavez Jr after knockdown Martinez had about a minute left to take out martinez since martinez didnt even run away and didnt hold. Martinez after was knockdown stand and trade with chavez jr. Dont give with "save by the bell" bs.

    Sergio was finished, he wouldn't have survived another round, so he was saved by the (last) bell. He couldn't run because his legs were gone, he couldn't sit on his punches either because of the knee injury and his pity pat punches weren't affecting Chavez anymore, he was gonna get KTFO in the next round, luckily for him, there wasn't one.:hi:

    Jr won ONE round in a one sided schooling. Bragging about the 12th round KD just shows how usleess baby Chavez is. How is it that a young light heavyweight couldn't finish off an ole jr middle?

    Chavez's next fight is suppose to be above 160, probably 164, and Macklin said he didn't want to fight above 160.

    With Chavez's next fight in Texas and Vera being from there and him having been on HBO a couple times in the past I'd guess he gets the Chavez fight.

    IF martinez was finish, gone then why couldnt chavez finish martinez in which he had 1 minute left to go? Martinez didnt run, didnt hold and as you say martinez was throwing pitty punches. If martinez was knock down like 15 seconds to go and got up then u can say he was save by the bell but 1 minute left to go? Like i said stop being a dumb a$$.

    Vera in Texas might be a fun fight

    Macklin is the best of the available
