Review: 2014-05-03, pretty good fight with an exciting finish: Omar Chavez vs Daniel Sandoval gets three stars. Omar Chavez entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 31-2-1 (22 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.33 light middleweight in the world, he is the youngest brother of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and he was defeated twice by Jorge Paez Jr: the first time in 2011 (5-stars fight Paez Jr vs Chavez) and then in 2012 (=Paez Jr vs Chavez 2); after that bout he has fought and won three times.
His opponent, Daniel Sandoval, has a record of 34-2-0 (30 KOs=88%) and he entered as the No.30 in the same weight class, he suffered his last defeat in 2010 when he faced Armando Robles, since then he has collected 15 consecutive wins.

after seeing this match, I have to say… omar chavez is terrible. Where is the footwork, the boxing knowledge or even the ability to let go with his punches? His record does not reflect how poor of a fighter he is
I agree with you, he has that record just because he is the son of the great julio cesar chavez….and also the commentators help him just for that reason….but the thing that scares me more is that after the WBO international title he will probably fight for a world title shot or an eliminator!!!
