Julio Chavez is a Legend in boxing.Alot of wars in the ring he won until father time caught up to him and his performance declined in the ring.A Legend he is.
I remember this fight as a small child.. my dad drove around the neighborhood until he found a backyard that was selling viewing partying 10 bucks if i remember correctly lol.. total strangers house in compton good times!
@@RobertVilla-o1q Having heart doesn't mean you fight reckless and avoid using your skills. Leonard got suckered in by Duran's head games into fighting Duran's fight. He learned his lesson there.
These were some tough dudes. Chavez was relentless,and Macho sure took some heavy hits.Stamina and Iron Will was what Chavez was all about. Salute to both these warriors.
Camacho was a tough son of a gun to stand in there and take that beating. But, I think from the start he wasn’t trying to win the fight. He was fighting defensively and that wasn’t Camacho’s fight.
The Golden Era ... Boxing as a Sport was like a Holiday when a Good fight was to take place. I remember the entire neighborhood gathered around one T.V friends & family members coming over ... You could walk down the block and hear collective cheers, screams & yells from apartments.
This comment^ yes the good ol days every Chavez fight was a holiday in the neighborhood people cooking out everywhere everyone had TV's out music and everything
I just checked Comacho's boxing record. 88 fights, 79 wins, 6 losses & 3 draws. No stoppage defeats or disqualification losses. Awesome record & just this fight shows that he had enormous heart.
@@tonytheyoutube4560 Chaves clearly lost 2 fights n many others but was favored. Camacho never lost by ko or tko. He hit Camacho with everything including low blows, elbows n hitting behind the head, headbutts yet never a point taken from him. Richard Steele was bought for Chaves! Macho was definitely MACHO!! Macho said he would take everything Chaves had n he did
Hector Camacho was one of the best he defeated sugar Ray Leonard which a lot of good fighters couldn't get to them that Hector did so ha my salute to you it's just that since I was just a little better
I remember seeing one of the conferences and Chavez, who was very reserved, through a translator said something to the order of "I'm not going to knock him out. I'm going to beat him. All fight. Teach him some respect." I was like shit! I got to watch this fight.
RIVALS ABSOLUTELY. Myself as a proud Puerto Rican can say I hold nothing but love and respect for my compadres from Mexico. We are Warriors in the ring but respectful brothers outside the ring.
It's crazy how tough Chavez was. It's like his skin was made of steel for the majority of his career. Meldrick Taylor landed a ton of shots on Chavez, and he didn't blink. Camacho was getting some pretty good shots on Chavez, but it didn't matter. Chavez was a great defensive fighter, but when he did get hit, his skin was like a tough hide that was durable as hell. Chavez was like a Welterweight Marvin Hagler. The pressure he put on guys was like a sledgehammer breaking down shanks of beef. When I see those body shots I always think of that scene in Rocky where Sylvester Stallone is punching the raw meat and breaking the ribs. That's what you have to do to stop a guy like Camacho. To stop a boxer/mover, you pound the body mercilessly, even if you have to take a few shots here and there to get it done. Then they can't move. Also, the accuracy of Chavez's body shots was like a sniper. No low blows or anything, and he stuck to pounding the ribs only with almost no shots to the stomach. He was brutal to say the least. I think he would have done the same thing to Oscar if Oscar had fought him in 1992.
I got to be honest I don't really like the title but I absolutely loved this boxing documentary! What an incredible fight and incredible Fighters! You guys gave me chills! Big respect
I remember this figth. My grandfather he bought a big new screen TV. Just for this fight he was a big time Cesar Chavez fan the whole family watched it and we've had a big party after. RIP. Granpa and macho as well
CHAVEZ vs. CAMACHO Was The 1st Boxing PPV I Bought With My Summer Job $$$. The Entire Summer Of 1992 I Worked At My Aunties Video Rental Store (Discolandia De Richmond, Ca)
Chavez wasn't a flashy fighter and he didnt have a signature punch that other fighters had to stay away from, they just had to stay away from him because he was relentless, intelligent and methodical. He reminds me of Hagler because they never took a backwards step.
Excellent performance from Chavez! One thing I’ll note about both fighters is their insane stamina and toughness! Even way past their prime, they still could take a punch and they could go 12 rounds without slowing down much.
Comacho is a tough, proud man. He could have walked away with $3 million after 1 round, but he fought all 12 rounds like Rocky. You can't lose if you go the distance!
Proud he was....or more like vain.... tough he wasn't....if he had been tough he would have held his ground and not run like a bitch or Mayweather or a road runner. He would have shown his abilities till the end; as limited as they were vs Chavez but he shouldn't have looked like a whore running from her pimp when she gave a freebie.
Chavez was the goat! Comacho was near untouchable in his prime too but the fact that he went up in weight to take this fight really is a statement how much of a warrior he was!!
No, this fight should have happened between 1982-86 when both were at 130/35 pounders and in their prime but Chavez people knew he would have had a major problem with Camacho. They waited for Camacho to be on his downfall to take this fight. When Chavez fought Camacho 1992, he was a shell of himself…
1982? At 20 years old? '84 at 24? Too green. Camacho's prime was when he fought Chávez. If anyone was on his way down, it was Chávez. By then, he had already fought Taylor, and though chavez won, he took probably the worst beating of his life. After that Chávez next two opponents: 1 had 4wins-3L, the other 5W-3L, basically trash to get his confidence up cause he had retirement thoughts. Time to accept reality and leave fantasy alone. Camacho was in his prime. Chávez a year before had thoughts of retiring.
@@evilwayz1464 wrong that was not Camacho’s prime. ..his prime was between 83 when he won his first belt against Limon until 86 when he took on Rosario in Madison Square Garden. Against Rosario he was hurt for the first time in his career and changed his fighting style to avoid getting hit..which is when these two should’ve fought and honestly Chavez lost that fight against Taylor. One of the biggest robberies in boxing history. Stopping a fight with 2 seconds left in the match. He was gong to lose by unanimous decision…just ridiculous…
@juliorivera1354 do at 21-24 was camacho's prime. Highly improbable. Don't remember when was the last time I thought a fighters prime: physically, mentally,emotionally, experienced wise in the ring & outside of ring, was at 21-24. Too green, inexperienced: De La Hoya, Trinidad, Tyson, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Hagler, Duran, Roy Jones, Benavides, Canelo, GGG, Dmitry Bibol, 🤔 NOPE! Not at 21-24, you can even go outside of boxing into other sports and won't find an athlete was in his prime at 21-24. Not Michael Jordan, not Tiger Woods, Brady, not Michael Jackson. Sorry kid. The evidence is just not there. Rosario fighting opponents like Ramos 7W 2L, Valdez 10W 7L, Montoya 15W 7L, just before fighting Camacho, I'd be extra hesitant calling Camacho his prime when his competition was fighting mediocre competition. Definitely not his prime.
@@evilwayz1464 I could tell you’re a youngster trying to prove a point. That was my era…It’s like saying Mike Tyson was at his prime when he fought Holyfield and Lewis when people that actually followed these boxers in that era knows Tyson was not the same fighter when he fought both. The same holds for Camacho. He was at his best between 82-86…Chavez and Camacho were set to fight at 130 and they never did…but if they did it would have been a totally different fight. Anyone that knows these boxers knows that Camacho was a shell of himself when he fought Chavez..
Both fantastic boxers .. But Chavez was quite incredible with a cast iron chin & amazing durability.. Credit to 2 Greatest of boxing warriors 👏 👏👏👏 Hopefully, one day, a film will be made about this great Mexican warrior .
What is interesting to me while watching this fight from 30+ years ago is how often and how well Chavez pounds the body of his opponent. Both Julio Chavez and Robert Duran loved to work the body when in close to do damage and mix things up. Can't protect the head and the body at the exact same time. Chavez and Duran both enjoy extremely long periods of dominance and multiple championships.
People criticizing Chavez before the fight saying he had only fought Mexicans is like saying that Ali had only fought Americans-Liston. Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Lyle, etc. !
right . Any other country for those weight classes night have weak boxers. Um , not Mexico. If not for Chavez giving them Ls . .we would have known more Mexican boxers from that time.
One of my favorite memories with my pops, i was 10 years old we went out of town to see it, they had it in the theater we had tickets but i got my dad to sneak in the back got the best seats.
This is a great Chavez fight showcasing his relentless work ethic. Another, even better, fight is his fight against Edwin Rosario. Chavez says that was his toughest fight because every punch Rosario hit him with hurt, but Chavez stayed in there and wore him down.
Both fighters are amazing....!! The macho mans legacy will never die....!!!! He is awesome to watch when he is on he is unstoppable.... Julio Cesar Chavez is obviously one of the greatest ever also and it would have been a treat to see both fight each other in the prime years of time but i still see julio winning because this is a stylistic matchup.... neither guy can beat the clock it is always ticking and these guys should be looked at as all time greats... both are totally amazing fighters
Pot enhances performance. If you are a pot smoker n smoke pot it can even kill fatigue n boost focus even if you re exhausted. At least in my experience 👌
I was a huge Hector fan in the 80's early 90's. When I would see him on the news getting into trouble 2 years before his death I always yelled at the TV, get the hell out of Puerto Rico Hector. My wife would always come in the living room and say,who are you talking to? I would answer, Hector got in trouble again. She would laugh and say,you really like that guy don't ya. Yes if you saw he's fights you would to..
Us Mexican Americans loved El Macho Man! He was a NewYorican and was hated by Boricuas from the island just as we Chicanos are laughed at by Mexicans from Mexico saying us Chicanos ain’t real Mexicans. One of my favorite boxers ever, Latino Heat🔥 RIP Macho Man🇲🇽🇵🇷
@@JoseSoto-tp8ckMexican fans root for Mexican Boxers 1st & foremost, they'll root for any Latino if Fighting Whites & Blacks. Now to say Mexican Fans were split in loyalty between Hector Camacho & the great JCC is ludicrous. I actually bet my friend that Camacho would beat Julio 😂😂 yes I was young & dumb, but at the time I was a big Macho Man fan. Chavez should have run for President ✌️
I remember watching this fight live and was impressed with how Chavez dominated Camacho. Chavez was relentless and hit Camacho with hard punches from different angles. I’m surprised Camacho survived the 12 rounds. Chavez is the 🐐
The Mexican beat the hell out of Macho Camacho and dropped Mayweather Floyd Jr father that quit on Chavez SR! 89 wins NO losses! Incredible record by Chavez SR! Camacho backed away from Chavez SR ALL night 🌃🌉! ✅✅✅✅✅
@@mizofan Chavez SR and PACQUIAO ad Duran had a far better record than Mayweather Floyd Jr who should be in the Hall of Shame.... GGG alone had 38 KOS,. Duran had over 101 fights!! Mayweather Floyd Jr has a POOR record! ....✅✅✅✅
Camacho was a great talented fighter that lack discipline. The ring was the smallest possible also to help Chavez cut it faster. Camacho said he was going to stand with him and he did. Chavez gave him credit for doing it. I saw this fight live. Camacho was living a crazy lifestyle. Chavez is the greatest Mexican fighter ever.
This was an outstanding fight between two outstanding fighters. Neither fighter disappointed, and both fought valiantly to the end. I believe that both fighters deserve a win, but Chavez ultimately prevailed. Chavez demonstrated great endurance and the ability to evade Hector's punches. Camacho's performance was nothing short of spectacular, and he deserves recognition for his efforts.
@@jacktorrance2633 I don’t,I see it as Leonard getting paid back for waiting years until Hagler had gone through punishing battles and was past his prime. The ignominy of getting stopped by a feather fisted Camacho..Karma
I didn't think anyone would handle Camacho like Chavez did, I never gave Camacho marks for courage, but he fought it out and hung in there like a true warrior.
Punches on the back foot are not gonna hurt a fighter coming forward. No sooner u land your backing up. Chavez was too experienced to lose against that tactic.
Buenos boxeadores los puerto riqueños.me alegra que tengan. Como rivales a los mexicanos de otra manera hubiera sido muy fácil para ellos.viva Puerto Rico y que viva México cabrones...
Chavez is currently a boxing broadcaster in Mexico. After Macho passed away he said that all that Camacho said before the bout was to help sell the fight and he never insulted his family or went personal as other boxers did. And he did a great job because I oh so wanted Chavez to knock him out. RIP Macho.
Mayrunner could outrun any boxer he ever fought. He should have been matched with Usain Bolt. I bet Mayrunner could beat Usain, that's how much and how fast he ran. He's not even in the top 30 of all time good fighters not to mention great fighters.
@@Jlastinger88 Chavez knocked the snot out of Mayrunners Dad. He would have done the same thing to Mayrunner Jr. if they were both in their prime. No comparison. Chavez was a warrior, Mayrunner is a track star, who bought off judges.
Respeto para Camacho. De un Mexicano que le gusta ver boxear a Guerreros de verdad. Nacho se fajó contra uno de los más grandes y aunque perdió, perdió de pie 🫡
I remember betting my mate that Macho Man would beat Chavez, he was laughing hysterically when we shook on it. I deserved to lose my money thinking that JCC would Lose he was 81/0 ffs!! 😂😂😂✌️
I watched this fight as a kid. I was a Chavez fan. That night, it was amazing. Now watching Camacho years later, I have a new found respect for him. He was a great fighter.
Chávez was one of a kind and Im from PR, dude earned his place amongst the greats.
So did Comacho

Toughest fighter ever Angelo Dundee said
Head of stone Chavez
Parties and drugs had a lot to do with his decline t oo.
I remember hearing him say in an interview that he just didn’t care anymore so he didn’t train like before for some fights
Drug addiction is what really hurt his health and career he would have never lost ...even he says it

wtf that is awesome
Yeah, I'm from Compton too. Would've loved to know where that crowd was back then, lol
I remember those days as a kid, my dad paid a neighbor who had a brand new Panasonic projector T.V to watch the fight, good times 😂.
Chavez was relentless. Like a machine. Respect for Camacho too. In those days Chavez was somebody nobody wanted to fight. Macho fought proud.
I was never a big Camacho fan. Looking back now I'll admit he had heart and lots of focus in the ring.
His mobility was excellent, he just lacked raw power
@@wallacegrommet9343 True. He was a killer at super featherweight. Unlike Chavez he didn't carry much power as he moved up.
If he had heart he would have went toe to toe like Leonard when he fought Duran in first fight!
@@RobertVilla-o1q Having heart doesn't mean you fight reckless and avoid using your skills. Leonard got suckered in by Duran's head games into fighting Duran's fight. He learned his lesson there.

These were some tough dudes. Chavez was relentless,and Macho sure took some heavy hits.Stamina and Iron Will was what Chavez was all about. Salute to both these warriors.
He was not more skilled he just had a different style ,who won the fight 10:14

Fucked up how they murdered him...

did bring a special energy to the Ring, that made boxing fans wanting more... RIP MACHO MAN.
Those Chavez body shots hurt to even watch. Camacho is a tough, tough guy just to last 12.
I remember seeing one of the conferences and Chavez, who was very reserved, through a translator said something to the order of "I'm not going to knock him out. I'm going to beat him. All fight. Teach him some respect." I was like shit! I got to watch this fight.
That happened for sure I think was “lo voy a castigaar” which means I’m going to punish him
RIVALS ABSOLUTELY. Myself as a proud Puerto Rican can say I hold nothing but love and respect for my compadres from Mexico. We are Warriors in the ring but respectful brothers outside the ring.
The best part was the post fight interview when Chavez kept saying the word “Maricon” and the interpreter would say “Girly Man”.
Well, I guess he really was maricon... Nothing wrong with it, I don't really care, but you can see how feminine he was in his moves etc
It's crazy how tough Chavez was. It's like his skin was made of steel for the majority of his career. Meldrick Taylor landed a ton of shots on Chavez, and he didn't blink.

Us Mexican Americans loved El Macho Man! He was a NewYorican and was hated by Boricuas from the island just as we Chicanos are laughed at by Mexicans from Mexico saying us Chicanos ain’t real Mexicans. One of my favorite boxers ever, Latino Heat🔥 RIP Macho Man🇲🇽🇵🇷
Speak for yourself.
You tripn us chicanos root for Chavez he is the best boxer in the world put respect on his name💯
@@JoseSoto-tp8cknah you be really tripping! Many Chicanos have love for Hector Camacho and Chavez no doubt. Stop being a hater100% 🇲🇽🇵🇷
@@JoseSoto-tp8ckMexican fans root for Mexican Boxers 1st & foremost, they'll root for any Latino if Fighting Whites & Blacks. Now to say Mexican Fans were split in loyalty between Hector Camacho & the great JCC is ludicrous. I actually bet my friend that Camacho would beat Julio 😂😂
yes I was young & dumb, but at the time I was a big Macho Man fan.
Chavez should have run for President ✌️
No true. Raza here in TX had no respect for macho, we don’t like big mouths
81-0, why did the make such a big deal of Floyd going to 50-0? (mostly fighting bums and washed up greats) 81-0 was insane
Chavez looked fresh all the way through the fight! He had tough skin
I remember watching this fight live and was impressed with how Chavez dominated Camacho. Chavez was relentless and hit Camacho with hard punches from different angles. I’m surprised Camacho survived the 12 rounds. Chavez is the 🐐
Thumbnail got me dying😭
That’s Juan Nazario in the green trunks
12:51 Not a year prior. A week or so prior.
That thumbnail is crazy 💀💀
Nunca nadie como Julio Cesar Chavez!! Viva México!!
The Mexican beat the hell out of Macho Camacho and dropped Mayweather Floyd Jr father that quit on Chavez SR! 89 wins NO losses! Incredible record by Chavez SR! Camacho backed away from Chavez SR ALL night 🌃🌉! ✅✅✅✅✅
He was one of the greatest but he was lucky to have got a draw v Whitaker and extend his unbeaten record a little.
@@mizofan Chavez SR and PACQUIAO ad Duran had a far better record than Mayweather Floyd Jr who should be in the Hall of Shame.... GGG alone had 38 KOS,. Duran had over 101 fights!! Mayweather Floyd Jr has a POOR record! ....✅✅✅✅
Camacho was a great talented fighter that lack discipline. The ring was the smallest possible also to help Chavez cut it faster. Camacho said he was going to stand with him and he did. Chavez gave him credit for doing it. I saw this fight live. Camacho was living a crazy lifestyle. Chavez is the greatest Mexican fighter ever.
Gah damn Chavez was relentless constant pressure.
This was an outstanding fight between two outstanding fighters. Neither fighter disappointed, and both fought valiantly to the end. I believe that both fighters deserve a win, but Chavez ultimately prevailed. Chavez demonstrated great endurance and the ability to evade Hector's punches. Camacho's performance was nothing short of spectacular, and he deserves recognition for his efforts.
And to think that Camacho stopped Ray Leonard……can anyone imagine Camacho stopping MMH
Leonard was 41 years old and far past his prime. Leonard did that for the money so don't consider that a huge achievement for Camacho.
@@jacktorrance2633 I don’t,I see it as Leonard getting paid back for waiting years until Hagler had gone through punishing battles and was past his prime. The ignominy of getting stopped by a feather fisted Camacho..Karma
Who is MMH
@@MeToo-py1tq Marvelous Marvin Hagler
I didn't think anyone would handle Camacho like Chavez did, I never gave Camacho marks for courage, but he fought it out and hung in there like a true warrior.
Chaves had stamina for days
The thumbnail for this video is hilarious! Chavez with the Superman punch. 🥊 I love it!
you know Puerto Rico is part of the United States right?
Who asked ?
Punches on the back foot are not gonna hurt a fighter coming forward. No sooner u land your backing up. Chavez was too experienced to lose against that tactic.
How I miss the time when boxers really boxed before Floyd Mayweather came into the scene and ruined boxing forever with his dancing.😢
Buenos boxeadores los puerto riqueños.me alegra que tengan. Como rivales a los mexicanos de otra manera hubiera sido muy fácil para ellos.viva Puerto Rico y que viva México cabrones...
Mexico over Puerto Rico all day long!
Cesar Chavez had the hardest chin on Earth..Rip our Great Warrior Hector Macho Camacho❤🇵🇷
Chavez is currently a boxing broadcaster in Mexico. After Macho passed away he said that all that Camacho said before the bout was to help sell the fight and he never insulted his family or went personal as other boxers did.
And he did a great job because I oh so wanted Chavez to knock him out. RIP Macho.
Camacho didn't beat Mancini
There was and is no one like the king of Boxing Julio Cesar Chavez, the Cesar.
81fights & 67 KO's yet Mayweather says he is the best ever with 50 wins , no comparison
He did spend most of his fights fighting people from the crowd
Mayrunner could outrun any boxer he ever fought. He should have been matched with Usain Bolt. I bet Mayrunner could beat Usain, that's how much and how fast he ran. He's not even in the top 30 of all time good fighters not to mention great fighters.
At least Mayweather fought real fighters. Chavez fought bums his whole career, foh. Overrated can crusher. Sanchez the goat of Mexican boxing
@@guyphoto9437That’s why you are talking about him instead of literally anyone else.
@@Jlastinger88 Chavez knocked the snot out of Mayrunners Dad. He would have done the same thing to Mayrunner Jr. if they were both in their prime. No comparison. Chavez was a warrior, Mayrunner is a track star, who bought off judges.
Respect for both great legends. I came across Macho Camacho in Boston and he was casual and funny with me.
Camacho never had that ko power
Respeto para Camacho. De un Mexicano que le gusta ver boxear a Guerreros de verdad. Nacho se fajó contra uno de los más grandes y aunque perdió, perdió de pie 🫡
The macho man his impressive attitude brought millions of fans out every time …. Rip to the macho man
Great video! Chávez the best cutting the ring, Camacho could not get away, neither could Roger Mayweather
Chicanos are good dudes never had a problem with no race love you REAL TALK America 🇺🇸 I love you
Chavez held it down, a true warrior and boxing legend 💯💪🏾🔥
DUDE THAT THUMBNAIL IS THE BEST OF ALL BOXING THUMBNAILS 😂😂😂 GOAT THUMBNAIL 😂😂😂
I remember Chavez saying before the fight that he wasn't going to knock him out, because he wanted to give him a beating lol
The Great&the Legendary, the Macho Man Hector Camacho, RIP Idol👍🙂🥳
I remember betting my mate that Macho Man would beat Chavez, he was laughing hysterically when we shook on it. I deserved to lose my money thinking that JCC would Lose he was 81/0 ffs!!
😂😂😂✌️
I watched this fight as a kid. I was a Chavez fan. That night, it was amazing. Now watching Camacho years later, I have a new found respect for him. He was a great fighter.
Great fight,im from mexico but shout out to PR boxers !
Wish I could have witnessed prime fighters like these guys man
that was beautiful, just picked him apart, all those combos with body shots, JCC didn't play games. Any lesser man would've folded.
