Born in July 1962 in Sinaloa, Mexico, Culiacan, former world champion Julio ‘JC’ Chavez became poor and watches that his mother is working so hard. They lived in the railroad car. She promised her mother to free her from there. He lived with eleven others.
Chavez followed his brothers into the boxing. In March 1980, he debuted at 17 and reversed his loss. He packed his stuff and moved.
He was relatively unknown until he moved from Mexico to fight. In September 1984, with a 43-0 record (such as Rocky Marciano), he won his first world champion at the WBC Super feathered champion Mario Martinez, 33-1-2, at the Los Angeles Olympic Auditorium in California. He broke the champion, stopping in the eighth round.
In April 1985, he defended his title against Ruben Castillo 60-4-2 at the La Inglewood forum, stopping in six rounds.
In August 1986, he won a majority decision over Rocky Lockridge, 34-4. Then he defeated Juan Laporte 27-6 and was not like ever.
In November 1987, he defeated WBC’s lightweight champion Edwin ‘Chapo’ Rosario, 31-2, Las Vegas, Nevada, and stopped in the eleventh round. When the lamps went out, he went back to the bottle.
In October 1988, he defeated WBA champion Jose Luis “El Zurdo” Ramirez, 101-6 and won a technical decision in the eleventh round.
Then, 34-5 Roger “Black Mamba” Mayweather, known for his victory in Mexico, at the Inglewood Forum, LA, stops him in the tenth round.
In September 1990, in Nevada, Las Vegas, former Olympic gold medal Meldrick Taylor, fought 24-0-1 in the final round while he was far behind points, two seconds left when referee Richard Steele saw Taylor’s Ot Lou Duva instructor who came up the stairs and gestured.
In September 1992, he fought with the 40-1 Hector “Macho” Camacho, defeated in Las Vegas, Nevada, in twelve rounds.
In February 1993, before almost 136,000 wrapped the stadium in Mexico, stopping Greg Haugen, 31-4. The atmosphere was electric, stopped in five rounds.
He was always in the gym before he turned to alcohol. It will suck ten rounds a day.
In the shade, far from the fans, alcohol was replaced by cocaine. Sparring became harder. The drugs in the gym bounce in the gym.
He ruined his words before his fans and interviews. It was difficult to search for drugs, who was. His success covered his problems. He finally received a call in rehabilitation. He was in the struggle of his life and returned to drugs weeks later. He told his family and friends that he would beat him, but he couldn’t.
When he was ready to give up, he eventually beat his addiction. You have begun to open full treatment programs to help others who are addicted.
In the early 2000s, he talked about his addiction and troubles to defeat.
Speaking of addiction, he made it public, unlike other athletes. During the sharing, he said, “I would like to help others like my help I received!”
Daily battle not in the ring, but in the bottle and then in the drugs.
In September 1993, it was obvious when he fought with Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, 32-1, a majority draw in San Antonio in Texas, knowing that he received a gift for this smooth boxer, the fans noticed that he was not. T is the boxer who was once.
In January 1994, Frankie “The Surgeon” Randall (48-2-1) was penalized in the seventh and eleventh rounds for low blows before falling first in the eleventh round. Lost the shared decision. At 89-0-1 he was eventually beaten. Four months later, in the replay, the head race in Round 8 caused a serious cut and received a controversial technical decision by dividing scores.
He then stopped at Las Vegas in eight rounds in playing with Meldrick Taylor 32-3-1. He won the next five fights before meeting Olympic gold medalist, Oscar “Golden Boy” de la Hoya, 21-0, Las Vegas, and boxing lesson and lost in the fourth round.
He goes 4-0-1 and with Miguel Angel Gonzalez, 42-1, before switching with De La Hoya in Mexico City. Chavez was stopped again in the eighth round in Las Vegas, and there was never the unstoppable warrior admired by fans.
By the end of the 1990s, the whole Chavez had lost Willie Wise (23-6-4) in Las Vegas. Two battles later, in July 200, will lose again, this time Kostya Tsyu, 24-1 at Phoenix, Arizona.
Two battles later stopped in two rounds on the November repackaging of the 26-10-4 Willie Wise in November. In May 2004, Frankie ‘The Surgeon’ Randall, 58-14-1, won a replay in Mexico City.
Two battles later, in May 2005, defeated Ivan Robinson, the 32-9-2 LA, his final victory. Then, in the last struggle in September, he lost 29-6-1 Grover Wiley and stopped in five rounds in Phoenix in Arizona, finishing 107-6-2 with 85 knockout records.
Chavez earned over $ 100 million, but spent money on alcohol, drugs and bad investments, and lost the most.
Because of the years, mental problems have arisen about depression. After many people surrounded him, he found himself alone alone. It was watched that his son Jr., Jr., 54-6-1 would become a medium-sized champion of WBC, but for the second time he failed to test a drug test. His other son, Omar, turned to the box, currently 41-9-1. Chavez changed the wrong relationship with them over time.
Chavez found the Julio Cesar Chavez Medical Center, sharing his problems with others and how he and how he can overcome this addiction in Mexico. His fans have heard how he has overcome his financial and family problems.
This ends Mexico’s most beautiful if not the best boxer’s career.
