Anderson Silva vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

[OneMoreRep]

Credit to Silva on defeating Chavez Jr.

This was a great example of a former MMA fighter with prior boxing experience (2 professional boxing fights) transitioning to boxing and doing a great job against a true professional boxer that was a former champ (WBC middleweight title 2011-2012). What's even more impressive is that Anderson is 46 and Chavez is 35! With an 11 year age difference and the fact that Chavez has had over 58 professional boxing matches (52-5-1, 34 KOs), Silva was clearly outside of his comfort zone and certainly not expected to do much against Chavez, but he was actually very impressive with his movement, controlling the distance, cutting angles and connecting in a clean fashion.

Great job on the win. The match can be seen here for free:

People should be ashamed of paying for these gimmick fights.

Chavez Jr. is a disgrace. He is not top 50 in any weight class. He has no heart. It was beat out of him in the Sergio Martinez fight which was roughly 10 years ago. That being said, Anderson displayed really sound boxing techniques. He looks to be far more classically trained in the sweet science than Conor McGregor.  Mexico needs to turn their back on Junior.

Very self-confident of the Spider to schedule this bout in direct competition with the Goodrum debates.

Mexico is just happy to get his tax money.
