3. These Guys Don’t Like Each Other

During promotion for any boxing match the combatants often claim its “personal,” that they don’t care for one another. However, in this case it may actually be true. The beef goes back seven or eight years, when the career leverage was reversed. Then Chavez, Jr, was the young but established fighter on the rise with a machine behind him and Canelo the upstart. Canelo’s camp reached out to make a fight, which Chavez, Jr. rejected. Eight years later the fight is happening, but Chavez, Jr. is calling foul. Specifically, by claiming that Canelo wasn’t really interested in the fight and simply taking an easier match to avoid Triple G. Such trash talk doesn’t sit well with Canelo and he hasn’t been shy about stating so. Moreover, Canelo feels as if his opponent has disrespected the sport and his country with his careless ways.  Don’t believe there is beef? Just peep the face off below.
