On Saturday night, May 6, Mexican superstar and junior middleweight world champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez dominated an outmatched former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. over twelve one-sided rounds. Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KO’s) was far too strong, poised, and precise throughout their HBO pay per view matchup inside of the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas, Nev.

With over 20,500 partisans in attendance for another wild Cinco De Mayo weekend, Alvarez proved himself to be far superior in every category, often tagging Chavez with sharp blows. Following twelve rounds, scores of 120-108 were read across the board for the Jalisco-born fighter, who continues to cement himself as the sport’s biggest star.

Once again, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has failed to make weight ahead of a highly-critical matchup vs. the very formidable Marcos Reyes. Chavez (48-2-1, 32 KO’s) and Reyes (33-2, 24 KO’s) agreed to a catch-weight limit of 169 pounds for their SHOWTIME-televised brawl, yet the son of the Mexican legend of the same name came in weighing 170.8 pounds.

Reyes was under the limit at 168.4 pounds, and despite Chavez not coming back to the scale to attempt to make the weight, the fight will still push forward. Check out the photos below for more photos.

On Saturday night, Feb. 21, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin improved his record to 32-0 with 29 knockouts following an 11th round TKO over rugged and worthy contender Martin Murray.

Golovkin scored two knockdowns in the fourth and one more in the tenth courtesy of an overhand right. “GGG” will look to fight three more times in 2015, and let it be known once again that he would love a shot at WBC champion Miguel Cotto.

There is a lot on the line for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. heading into his Mar. 1 rematch against Brian Vera.

Chavez won a controversial unanimous decision over Vera in September and he is eager to show the world that his subpar performance in the first meeting was just a fluke.

Speaking with Chavez’s co-promoter, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, on Friday afternoon, we gathered a few updates.

“He’s been training in Culiacan,” Arum said of Chavez. “His father says he looks great. We flew him into L.A. [Thursday] to do some shooting with HBO. He appears to be in good shape and he wants to put in an outstanding performance.”

Arum revealed that Chavez, if successful against Vera, will headline a big pay per view show come July in Las Vegas.

There are three opponents that Arum has in mind in super middleweight kingpin Andre Ward, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, and Notthingham’s Carl Froch.

Anyone of those fights would be appealing but Chavez has to finish his business with Vera first.

After ten rounds of action, scorecards reading 98-92, 97-93, and 96-94 were all in Chavez’s favor despite several ringside observers seeing the fight for Vera.

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Chavez’s co-promoter Fernando Beltran of Zanfer Promotions revealed that his fighter had suffered an injury to his right hand in the fourth round.
