Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. captures middleweight title
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (43-0-1, 30 KOs), became the first 160 pound Mexican champion by winning a twelve round majority decision over WBC middleweight champ Sebastian Zbik (30-1, 10 KOs) on Saturday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Although some say the key to Chavez’s victory was his superior conditioning, I argue it was Chavez's superior power shots that he landed to the midsection of Zbik that sealed the match. In any case, Chavez displayed great skill in the ring despite not scoring a knockdown against Zbik. Clearly Chavez has a lot of room to improve, but as for Saturday night, he looked great.
Chavez threw a total of 724 power punches, connecting with 242 (33%).
Zbik threw a total of 623 power punches, connecting with 335 (54%).

Chavez: "I will be the first Mexican champ at 160 pounds"
During the pre-fight interview circuit for the middleweight title clash between WBC champion Sebastian Zbik and Challenger Julio Ceasr Chavez Jr., some very bold statements were made.
Chavez said: "In this fight I will leave it all in the ring and I promise war. I have trained like I have never trained before. This will be a great fight for the fans. I have dreamed of this since I first started boxing and I am excited to finally have the opportunity (to fight for a title)."
Chavez later stated, "I have a great team and I am very well prepared for this fight. On Saturday night I will make history. I will be the first Mexican middleweight champion ever."
It is important to mention that although Mexico holds more world titles than any other county it has never produced a middleweight champ. Chavez faces off against Zbik on Saturday June 4th in Las Vegas.
