This week’s fight of the week is…
Edwin Rosario V Julio Cesar Chavez
The thing that really stuck out for me was Chavez trotting back to his corner at the end of the 10th round, that is some shape to be in. Me and my buddy were joking about how he would of trained for this fight, 10 rounds skipping, 10 rounds shadow boxing then onto the heavy bag for another 10 rounds and onto the floor to ceiling and so on. It seems clear that the old time fighters were training so much more than the fighters of today.
Great fight, I’ve not seen enough of Chavez especially his early career. His versatility, pressure and fluidity really stuck out, masterful performance.
So much can be learned by watching classic match ups, come back next week for another classic fight of the week.
