Fight Preview: Chavez Jr. vs Lee

Tonight Julio Cear Chavez Jr defends his WBC World Title against Irish Andy Lee at The Sun Bowl in El Paso Texas.  The fact that the fight is taking place in Texas has me a bit worried by the simple fact that funny business always seems to hinder fights in that state.  I'm hoping for a fair fight between these two young fighters.  Chavez Jr is looking to escalate his status in the fight game by putting up a great performance against Lee.  Andy Lee will try and prove that he is no push over & try to upset the Mexican Champion.  I expect Chavez Jr to eventually work his way to the inside & work the body of Lee, he seems to be comfortable in close quarters.  Lee must try to outbox Chavez Jr. maybe keep his distance and work his jab.  If Lee decides to trade with Chavez Jr., it may work itself to be a great fight, one that may favor Chavez Jr. due to his great inside work.  Chavez Jr. still keeps himself open for Lee to sneak in some power punches, but Chavez Jr. has proven to have a good chin & take some hard punches in stride.  The table is set for a Texas showdown tonight on HBO's Championship Boxing at 7pm, don't miss it.

**Noez Prediction:
Chavez Jr defeats Andy Lee by 7th Rd. TKO
