What have I been telling you guys? The people of Mexico cannot stand that odious little ginger toad. He's the most reviled public figure in his homeland in recent memory and unquestionably the most despised in Mexican sporting history. His fan base consists entirely of vacuous teeny boppers and even they acknowledge he's a shameless coward and a disgrace to Mexico.
Lots of people hate him in mexico, but it has nothing to do with his fights, it's more like a political matter or something like that. Because of the tv he worked for or I dont know, I never understood very well why mexicans do that, but they hated him from the very beginning. Most of his haters said that Jr was the true azteca warrior. That's why this fight will give a lot to someones, and will take away a lot from anotherones. Once this fight ends, a lot of people will have to keep their mouth shout. By the way, mister beristain, in the rest of the world we know chavez as the "taxi driver asassin", and he can be very proud of his two sons, who followed his very same way. (specially omar, what a joke of career, tijuana taxidrivers must be frightened every time they hear his name). Just before people bash me, I consider Julio César "the taxi driver asassin" Chávez Sr. an ATG, but you can be an ATG that ko'ed a lot of taxi drivers, isnt it?.
It seems like a little over half the people are rooting for Canelo, and the other half for JCCJr. People LOVE Canelo, that is why he is the highest paid fighter and the biggest star in Mexico.
