Real Talk From Ringside
So far, it’s looking like Paul’s jab-heavy, distance game is working. Chavez Jr.’s veteran instinct is there, but it’s too slow, too predictable. Paul looks sharper, younger, and hungrier.
That said Chavez Jr. can land big, sudden shots. It’s never over until it’s over.
This is one of those nights: yes, it’s all hype but if Paul stays sharp, this could be his breakthrough. If Chavez Jr. snaps back with power, we could get fireworks.
