In a 10-round battle of second-generation welterweight prospects, Omar Chavez (27-0-1, 20 KOs) will take on Jorge Paez Jr. 29-4-1, 18 KOs at the Arena Jorge Cuesy Serrano in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico this Saturday. Chavez, son of Julio Cesar Chavez, has begun working alongside his brother, Julio Jr., at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles under the direction of trainer Freddie Roach.
The 21-year-old from Culiacan, Sinaloa has yet to face an opponent above the club level and, at times, has struggle with in-ring focus and basic defense alongside that low level of opposition. Paez represent a significant step up in class for Chavez.
“Paez is a good fighter with a hard style,” Chavez told, “But I’ve seen that he can’t take a punch and I can punch hard. If things play out like I want, I think I can knock him out in four or six rounds.”
Paez, son of Jorge “Maromero” Paez, has also yet to face an elite-level adversary, but has fought an overall slightly higher level of confrontation than Chavez. Sitting atop the 24-year-old’s resume is a 12-round common choice over faded former lightweight champ Jose Luis Castillo last March.
