Fight Review: Chavez Jr. vs Lee

The fight between Julio Cesar Chavez vs Andy Lee resulted exactly how I predicted it to go.  Chavez made his way to the inside, while Lee kept his distance to try to outbox Chaves Jr while utilizing his jab.  From the 3rd round on, Chavez made his home in the inside while attacking Lee's body with great body punches.  Lee made a valiant effort taking some of Chavez's furies that would have crippled many other boxers, but in the end, Chavez's great body work proved to be too much for the Irish fighter to take.  Just like I predicted, a 7th round TKO by Chavez Jr who finished Lee with a crushing right hook to the head that damaged Lee forcing the referee to put a halt to the bout.  A great display for Chavez Jr. to defend his WBC Middleweight Title, despite being down by 4 rounds in all of the 3 judges scorecards.  So now, according to Top Rank, the date is set for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to face Sergio Martinez in a clash of Champions on September 15th 2012 in Las Vegas.
