- 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 Kia 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 12th-round stoppage.

“I had a hard life so yes, I am angry with him.” – Julio Hiha Chavez, JR.
“I had all Mexico and the world at my feet at that time. But it still didn’t fill the void…So what was it that I looked for? The easiest and stupidest things…drugs and alcohol.” – Julio Hiha Chavez, Sr.
NEW YORK (April 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Raupapa tohu-toa WÄTEA KATOA returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Hiha Chavez, JR., as he prepares to make his SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara i runga i Rāhoroi, April 18, ora i runga i SHOWTIME (10 p.m. AND/ 7 p.m. PT) i te Pokapū StubHub i roto i te Carson, Calif.
WÄTEA KATOA: Chavez premieres Rāmere, April 10, e whai ake nei tonu te ora ShoBox: Ko te Generation New tripleheader at 10 p.m. AND/PT.
WÄTEA KATOA: Chavez is written and reported by SHOWTIME Sports contributor Mark Kriegel. Author of acclaimed biographies “The Good Son: The Life of Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini” and “Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich,” Kriegel has long focused on the conflicts and complexities that beset fathers and sons in sports.
With unprecedented access to the young star–Mexico’s first and only middleweight world champion–and his famous father, WÄTEA KATOAuncovers the stormy yet loving relationship between Junior and his legendary father.
No question remains unanswered in a series of interviews at Junior’s high-altitude camp in Lake Tahoe, where his father once trained. What was it like to grow up as the son of Mexico’s greatest fighter? What price does a fighter pay for drugs and alcohol? And what does it do to his family?
Only the ending remains in doubt: Is Junior being punished for the sins of his father, or is he doomed to repeat them?
“Fame can be a disease, like addiction,” says Kriegel. “And this family has battled both. Junior and Senior weren’t merely candid. They were confessional. Na, Whakaaro ahau, courageous, too.”
Ki te WÄTEA KATOA cameras entrenched in camp, viewers will meet three generations of Mexico’s most famous fighting family as the 29-year-old Junior navigates a crossroads of his career.
WÄTEA KATOA: CHAVEZ premieres on SHOWTIME with multiple encore presentations. WÄTEA KATOA will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, SHOWTIME te Wā® a online iSHO.com/Sports.
