Review: 2013-09-28, very close fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Brian Vera: it gets three stars. Brian Vera ranked as the No.12 middleweight in the world, entered the fight with a record of 23-6-0 (14 knockouts) while Julio Cesar Chavez Jr had a record of 46-1-1 (32 knockouts – Chavez Jr is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since September 15, 2012 when he was defeated by Sergio ‘Maravilla’ Martinez). Chavez Jr vs Vera had been signed at the super middleweight limit of 168 pounds but this week the weight was increased to 173 pounds because Chavez had some problems making 168; moreover the fight has been reduced from a scheduled 12-round bout to a 10-round and Vera got extra money for changing the weight (approximate $400,000)..

Review: 2013-09-14, the fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Saul Alvarez was not exactly the fight we expected: we were hoping for a war, an exciting and unforgettable bout, but it wasn’t (and also the CompuBox stats confirms that both fighters didn’t throw so many punches). Leaving aside our disappointment, the fight was pretty good and it’s interesting to see the comparison of two different boxing styles: Mayweather vs ‘Canelo’ Alvarez gets three stars (if you are interested here is also the post-fight press conference video). Both undefeated, Floyd Mayweather Jr (44-0-0, 26 KOs) entered as the No.1 welterweight in the world while Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KOs) entered as the No.1 light middleweight. Mayweather vs Canelo, billed as “The One”, is valid for the WBC and WBA Super World light middleweight titles. Watch the video!
