Cinco de Mayo Fight: Canelo vs Chavez Jr. (Battle of Mexicos best boxers)
Cinco de Mayo in Mexico commemorates the triumph of the Mexican army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Fast forward a few decades and it has become one of the biggest holidays for Mexicans. To add to the festivities on May 5, 2017 one of the biggest fights in centuries will occur. The winner will titled as the best current Mexican boxer.
Canelo Alvarez will fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Las Vegas. This fight is equivalent to what the Super Bowl is to Americans.
It has been said that Canelo Alvarez has had a tougher route making it were he is while Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. the son of the great Mexican fighter (Julio Cesar Chavez) has been said to have an easier route due to the money and training he's father has offered to his son. This rivalry fight will determine who is the best active Mexican fighter. I invite you to watch this fight, since this will be one of the best fights in recent years.
got my beer $$ ready, Canelo Alvarez will also win.
I think Chavez Jr. has actually realized how important this fight really is and has actually began to put in that extra effort to maximize his skills to defeat Canelo.
