紐約 (七月 7, 2016) – Widely acknowledged as the preeminent Mexican-born fighter in history and one of the greatest prizefighters of all time, 塞薩爾查韋斯 will be honored as SHOWTIME體育® airs classic Chavez fights in continuation of its year-long celebration of 30 years of 精彩表演拳擊錦標賽.

 

The month will be highlighted by four of the incomparable Chavez’ most memorable fights – against 赫克托“猛男”卡馬喬, Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, the second of three fights with Frankie Randall and the rematch with Meldrick泰勒. All four fights will air Thursdays at 10 P.M. AND/PT在Showtime EXTREME (full schedule below).

 

多年來,, the revered ring legend was considered the world’s best pound-for-pound fighter. In an amazing 25-year-career (1980-2005), Chavez fought 115 時 (107-6-2 同 88 擊倒). At the highest level, he competed in four weight classes – 130 pounds to 147 pounds – and was a six-time world champion in three divisions.

 

He holds records for the most world title successful defenses (27), most title fight victories (31), most title fights (37) and the second-most title defenses won by 昏死 (21, 後 喬·路易斯 同 23). Chavez was 31-4-2 同 21 KOs in world title fights. A multiple 年度戰鬥機 優勝者, Chavez was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.

 

The fights will air on “Throwback 星期四” during the month of July at 10 P.M. AND/PT在Showtime EXTREME® and are available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and via the network’s online streaming service.

“Throwback 星期四” Tidbits

  • WBC super featherweight champion Chavez (81-0) and his WBO counterpart, 卡馬喬, fought on Sept. 12, 1992, 在拉斯維加斯. JCC turned back a determined bid by “Macho” to take a unanimous 12-round decision.

 

  • Chavez had an 87-fight winning streak end when he and WBC welterweight champion Whitaker fought to a highly controversial 12-round majority draw in Sept. 10, 1993, at the Alamodome in San Antonio. One judge scored it for “Sweet Pea” by 115-113; the others had it 115-115.

 

  • Chavez was dealt his initial defeat on a 12-round split decision to nemesis Randall on Jan. 29, 1994. In the rematch the following 五月 7, Chavez won a razor-thin, split eight-round technical decision after the fight was stopped because of a large cut over Chavez’ eyebrow. Chavez and Randall would fight a third time, with Chavez taking the rubber match on a clear, unanimous 10-round decision on May 22, 2004.

 

  • Chavez went 2-0 against Taylor, winning by eighth-round knockout in a rematch on Sept. 17, 1994. In their initial fight four-and-a-half years earlier, Chavez rallied to win by 12-round stoppage.
