Both boxing figures chatted days ago through Instagram, showing a contrast of personalities. On the one hand, the cheerful and joking Chávez Jr, and on the other, a frank and accurate Morales . Precisely the way of being of the “Terrible” was what gave rise to a series of advice.
“Get to training, stop messing around and forget about problems , don’t pay attention to people “, Érik pointed out with camaraderie but at the same time a lot of truth.
Immediately, the Terrible continued with his sermon, which was preceded by a compliment to a great stage in the career of Julio César Chávez Jr.: “ There were fights, like the one you were with Freddie Roach, where you were working very well on distance, defense, entry and exit. The problem is that you want to imitate your dad and you can’t, man. You are very tall and very long. Your dad was a loser for weight. You have to understand that“.
Chávez Jr. was unfazed by these comments. In fact, he listened quite carefully to his colleague, whom he treated in a friendly manner throughout the broadcast. But he did dedicate himself to denying his words, assuring that he does not want to imitate Julio César Chávez , but more good to have your own style that represents the combination of the way of boxing of great figures, like Morales himself.
“ I don’t want to imitate him, I learned by watching him box, but I don’t I want to imitate him, I’m not interested in imitating him, I try to get a style among all the boxers, I’m going to work harder“, Jr.
To close, Érik Morales repeated his first piece of advice, hoping that Chávez Jr. would take note and keep it in mind in his upcoming commitments: “ Give it a try, you bastard, behave yourself, stop being wild “, he concluded. The son of The Great Champion said that he will fight on 11 in March and then seek the agreement to face Youtuber Jake Paul.
Chávez Jr. archived or deleted said video from his profile. However, the talk was saved for posterity on YouTube.
