With his TKO victory against Olympic champ Andy Lee, Chavez Jr. has dispelled all doubts that he is a "protected" boxer; that his "undefeated record" was carefully orchestrated. Not anymore.
This fight proves he is a real champion. He has incredible strength and a durable chin. Andy Lee's face bore evidence of Chavez's devastating left and right hooks and uppercuts.
Laurence Cole stopped the fight to save Andy Lee from further damage.
NOW, the possibility of a Chavez/Martinez fight is much closer.
