Chavez Jnr Batters Andy Lee in 7
Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr vs Andy Lee - WBC 160lb Title
El Paso Texas was the venue for the latest title defence of Middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez who took on Irish star Andy Lee. This was the champions 3rd title defence since he captured the title against Sebastian Zibik last June. Lee was aiming to provide hall of fame trainer Manny Steward with another champion to link to that famous Kronk gym.
The fight started well for the challenger as for the first 2 rounds he used his jab to keep Chavez Jnr at a distance. Chavez Jnr was strangely quiet in these rounds. I was thinking to myself that he was maybe very tight at the weight and was wanting to pace himself very carefully .Lee though was landing some straight lefts and body shots, 2-0 to Lee was my score. In the 3rd Chavez began to up the pressure, a demand that Freddie Roach made between the rounds. This round was the best the fight so far with both standing and trading Chavez Jnr though was the one in this fight with the power and on more than one occasion he stunned the Irish challenger forcing him to give ground.
Chavez really came on in the 4th , the champions body work form the previous round looked to have taken something from Lee. Uppercuts , straight rights followed as the champion took control. It was heating up very nicely. At the start of the next round Lee came out with a bit more purpose. Lee had upped HIS work rate and had started to push the champion back with his own body work, the only problem though was although he had 20 KOs in 28 wins Lee simply didn't have enough pop in his punches to discourage the Mexican. Again the bigger punches were landed by the champion who this time hurt the challenger with some perfectly timed right hands .It was a hard round to score..what did you like ,1. the bigger punches or 2. the work rate. I went with the work rate and scored for Lee.
My card read 48 -47 Lee after 5 rounds but that's as good as it got for him as in the 6th the champion again upped the pressure by forcing Lee to stand and trade with him.That was the downfall especially on the ropes where Chavez Jnr was landing some excellent left hooks to the body, short ones, punches his father would have been proud of .Chavez Jnr's round and even on my card.
The ending came late in the 7th .Before the stoppage it had been another entertaining round , Chavez was still bossing it when he trapped Lee on the ropes and landed a huge right hand. Lee looked like he was gonna fall then Chavez threw a few more punches. It was enough for Lawrence Cole the referee to stop the fight and give the champion his 46th victory against 1 draw.
At the time of the stoppage all 3 judges had the fight 58-56 to Lee. My scorecard along with the press and fans score i have collected are below.
