Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Լեհաստան, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Մեքսիկա, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center.

“I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10^րդ) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

“Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

“I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, բայցայսօր երեկոյան was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Խուլիո Սեզար Չավես Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.”

I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”
