Left Hook to the Body

Undoubtedly one of the keys for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to defeat Marcos Reyes is the body work he constantly employs, more specifically, the left hook to the body.
Much like his father, Chavez Jr. focuses on his body work in training and executes it often against his opponents in the ring. He puts his weight behind it and at close range, generates significant power.
Although Chavez Jr. had a dreary performance against world ranked Andrzej Fonfara in his last outing, Fonfora admitted the good liver shot Chavez Jr. possesses.
“I feel a couple body punches, he caught me like maybe two or three nice body punches in my liver,” said Fonfora via Fight Hub, “He punched me in the right place and I feel it.”
Having the ability to hurt a bigger fighter in Fonfara brings a certainty that Chavez Jr. can land and hurt a smaller fighter in Reyes with well-placed body shots.
