Last night Julio Cesar Chavez, JR., 48-1-1 32 KO’s got whooped in upset by Andrzej Fonfara, 26-3-0 15 KO’s, that was predicted by this writer only a day earlier in an article posted on this very site! Oh the satisfaction of calling an upset.

Gloating out of the way, Chavez proved that he was always just a big man bullying smaller fighters when it came to any past successes. Chavez was always far too big for middleweight and struggled to make weight so he could have a significant size advantage over everyone he fought. Last night, he finally faced someone his own size and proved that he’s been overhyped his whole career by living off of his father’s name and feasting on smaller men.

The always lazy Chavez, got beaten from post to post by Fonfara, including getting dropped for the first time in his career before quitting on his stool after the ninth round. What a disgrace to the legendary name he bears and to Mexican fans everywhere by doing something so extremely uncharacteristic of Mexican fighters in quitting because he was getting bullied. This is a great upset for boxing, because it now means that guys like Carl Froch, Adonis Stevenson and Gennady Golovkin, who were all hoping for a Chavez fight because it was the easiest big money fight for them, will now have to chase a better fighter who isn’t just a big payday because of their legendary father.

This is the end of his career as far as big fights go, and what a fittingly pathetic end to a lazy career that got chance after chance when other fighters who were more talented and harder workers got overlooked. Justice has been served.
