Chavez Jr. teaming up with Joe Goosen for next fight

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. teams up with Joe Goosen for next fight


Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has moved his training camp to the Ten Goose Gym with trainer Joe Goosen.  Goosen will be training Chavez Jr. for his next fight.  This should be a good move for Chavez Jr., as Goosen is known as one of the best trainers in the business.  


Goosen has his work cut out for him though, Chavez Jr. has shown up looking pretty overweight.  Rumor has it that he is around 200 pounds.  He has a little less than 50 days to make weight for his next fight against Andrzej Fonfara.  They fighters are fighting at a catch weight of 172 pounds.  

I don't see Chavez losing that much weight that fast for the fight, so it's likely he will have to cut quite a bit of weight a day before the fight.  It'll be interesting to see the dynamic on fight night between Chavez Jr. and Joe Goosen.
