Out of contracts with UFC, Anderson Silva had the opportunity to return to the boxing floor to compete with the former WBC champion of Middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on June 19.
On the Jalisco Stadium in Guadalajara, “Spider -Man” surprised fans when he hid in waiting for the opportunity during the first 4 rounds of the match, despite the Chavez actively attacked immediately after the opening whistle.
Chavez is younger than General Silva at the age of 11 years old, he is also overweight compared to the standard weight of the match, so that before the match took place, this puncher took a penalty of 100,000 USD.
Chavez's match against Silva is said to mark the celebration of the Chavez family. However, the Chavez family's celebration was not very happy because of the bad performance of Chavez. Besides, the brother of Chavez, Omar Chavez, also lost before the puncher Ramon Alvarez, the brothers of Canelo Alvarez.
The head of the Chavez family, Julio Cesar Chavez Father – a symbol of the boxing village, he was considered one of the best boxers in the 1990s, was not impressed with the bad performance of his children.
“My two sons were unprofessional in preparation before the match. Preparing for a lack of professionalism then I think they should retire.” – Julio Cesar Chavez Cha said.
Chavez Cha played from 1980 to 2005 and had a record record of 107-6-2 with 86 KO. In his belt collection, there are titles like Super Featherweight WBC, Lightweight WBA and Light Welterweight WBA.
