Troy Rowland did a great job against Chavez Jr.

Chavez jr landed some flush shots and Rowland hung in there like a champ. he took those hooks to the body well, I thought that would slow him down but it didn't. Nonetheless, Chavez jr. has a lot of work to do before he fights for a world title. He looks the same to me as he did 20 fights ago, he has a lot of room for improvement.

 

Good stuff, I agree..
Tho Chavez will need to heal his ******* after getting raped by the HBO announced team. (Lampley w/o vasaline)

Jr. is a work in progress, But at middleweight he defo is a failed project, IMO.
154lbs sounds alot better, That said kid has the spirit.
(But his last name is Chavez so he is ****ed...)

I wonder if they can melt dude down to 147lbs?
(He never looks is peak condition)

Rowland did his job, Made Jr. sweat & gave Manny & Cotto time to warm up. BUt he was defo beat down by Jr.s body work. (Tuff dude)

 

Chavez Jr is a sick joke.
How the **** can you have that many fights and still be fighting journeymen?

Fair play to Rowland though, he kept on going.

 

I honestly thought he did a bit better than the scores showed.He was never domianted altough Chavez was landing some clean punches on him midway through.

He had a good start IMO.

 

Why? that was the best part of the fight. It was completely boring, and a disgrace.

 

Jr actually started out at 130.

No way he can make 147 anymore but 154 should be his weight.His body did not look good at 160.

 

Rowland looks decent. Why wasnt he serious about the sport and get some quality training?

 

Chavez is goddamn BUM. He had a d-level fighter in there who didn't have enough power to hurt a gnat and he couldn't mount a convincing offense against him. Of course he's fought nothing but tomato cans -- how the hell could he possibly have the 40-0 record he has otherwise?
That was one of the worst undercard matches I have ever watched in my life. Disgraceful.

 

I live in Grand Rapids Mi and have seen troy fight about 6-8 times, I also worked with his uncle who told me he retired because his wife/girlfriend was pregnant. He was A 2 or 3 time state golden gloves champ. He is a pretty good fighter who is allways in shape and ready to fight, I think his lack of power is his downfall. There was an interview in our local paper last week where Troy said he is sticking with Dave Packer? the same trainer he has had since he first started fighting.

 

It's been said. He hasn't shown any improvement for ages. He's reached his limit.
