Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was embarrassed by one of the most extensive decisions in boxing history when he was confronted with a four -weight champion.
The Mexican hunter is getting ready for his second fight in four years, while Julio Cesar Chavez JR takes it against Jake Paul, after Paul's victory over Mike Tyson in 2024.
This is expected to be the last major payment day of Chavez JR, because many expect him to retire after the game with the YouTube star.
However, he will hope that this fight will go better almost ten years ago than his shameful loss for one of the greatest hunters in Mexico.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr lost all 12 rounds in an embarrassing defeat against Canelo Alvarez
In a massive showdown by Cinco de Mayo in 2017, Chavez JR was absolutely ashamed of Canelo Alvarez in one of the worst versions of his career.
Negotiations for the fight started after the comeback victory of Chavez JR against Dominik Britsch, and he soon signed up for a payment day of several millions of dollars to combat Mexican large on 6 May 2017.
More than 20,000 fans stuffed in the sold-out T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, but they were not treated to the competitive fight they were expecting.
Instead, Canelo barely broke sweat when he dominated his fellow Mexican in one of the most one-sided battles in boxing at the highest level.
Canelo had the size of the size of the second generation hunter, but showed his impressive speed more in this fight and took very little punishment from Chavez JR about an easy 12-round fight.
Chavez Jr only landed 71 bumps during the fight, a meager sum compared to the 228 hits with which his opponent tagged him.
The present crowd has even stuck the lack of attacking threat from Chavez JR, with his lack of bumps that are deeply unpopular with the fans.
The only positive thing for Chavez Jr was that the total destruction he suffered showed his granite chin, inherited from his legendary father. He never came close, despite taking a supreme punishment.
The judges once handed over all 12 rounds to Canelo, giving him a unanimous decision victory that seemed to embarrass Chavez JR with how dominant Canelo was about his fellow Mexican.
Jake Paul was supposed to fight Canelo Alvarez for the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Bout
While Paul will fight against Chavez JR on 28 June on 28 June, he was ready to be in Las Vegas instead of Canelo in Las Vegas if the planned fight had continued.
The competition was almost agreed between the two before Canelo signed the most lucrative contract in boxing with the Riyadh season.
This five-fight deal, reportedly earning the Mexican payment day of $ 400 million, was one of the largest in boxing and planned 4 of his next 5 fights that took place in Saudi Arabia.
Canelo vs Terence Crawford takes place on September 13, while Paul has found a new opponent in Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
