      Chavez performed the best he could at that time, but Chavez had not had a serious challenge since fighting Meldrick Taylor in March 1990. During that stretch, Chavez started drinking heavily and went through a divorce with his wife because of his alcoholism. Chavez was not the same fighter that fought Meldrick Taylor, but Pernell Whitaker won their fight and he deserved to get the W on his record over Chavez. Whitaker had some extra motivation in the fight, to avenge his good buddy Taylor's controversial loss to Chavez.

      Rounds 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, are clearly, so clear for JC Chávez. Rounds 3, 7, 8, 11, so clear for Whitaker. Rounds 4, 10, and 12, are for me even, you can say whatever you want. I have to say that 12 round, Whitaker was holding all the time, and add too that Whitake throw 2 big low blows.
      Whitaker, elusive, tecnician, good defensive, making points, Chavez, chasing, throwin to the body, hitting hard. Difficult fight, for me was for Chávez by 1 point.

      It was defintely a close fight. I can't say that Chavez won it, the only one who could claim that would be Whitaker. It defintely wasn't by a wide margin, though. I think the weight hurt Chavez, who only came in at 142, FIVE pounds under the limit, which shouts out that he was no Welterweight.

      Rounds 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, are clearly, so clear for JC Chávez. Rounds 3, 7, 8, 11, so clear for Whitaker. Rounds 4, 10, and 12, are for me even, you can say whatever you want. I have to say that 12 round, Whitaker was holding all the time, and add too that Whitake throw 2 big low blows.
      Whitaker, elusive, tecnician, good defensive, making points, Chavez, chasing, throwin to the body, hitting hard. Difficult fight, for me was for Chávez by 1 point.
