I wanted to try something new, I never sit down in sparring and I didn’t want to sit here. GGG – you are next my friend. The fight is done.“I’ve never feared anyone, since I was 16 fighting as a professional. When I was born, fear was gone. I never got my share of fear. I’m very happy, and the rivalry is going to show my skills even more. I’ve had difficult fights, and that will no doubt be a tough fight. But, I always say, Canelo Álvarez is the best because I fight the best.”

Chávez Jr. speaks after the fight

After the fight, Chávez Jr. admitted he’d been beaten by the better boxer.

“Canelo beat me, he beat me at the distance. He is a very active fighter – he’s very good and he beat me,” Chávez Jr. was also quoted as saying by the Guardian. “I wanted to box but he went to the ropes and I just needed to throw more punches. I would’ve attacked more I would’ve been countered by his punches. Nacho told me to do that but the strategy didn’t work.

“The speed and the distance was the key. I didn’t feel that much power because I felt dwindled, I couldn’t throw as many punches as I wanted. My father kept telling me to throw more punches from the ringside.”

Probably should have listened to your dad, Julio.
