IMPOSSIBLE Comeback! When Chavez DEFIED Boxing’s Fastest Champ | Breakdown

What happens when two iron-willed, undefeated champions meet at the peak of their powers? You get one of the greatest contests boxing has ever seen, an absolute blood-and-guts war that The Ring Magazine dubbed not only the best of 1990, but the pinnacle of the entire decade. Set for March 17th, 1990 at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel, the fight between Julio Cesar Chavez and Meldrick Taylor was one of the most anticipated fights of the era. Billed as “Thunder Meets Lightning” and hailed as “The Greatest Little Fight Money Can Buy”, the meeting between Julio Cesar Chavez and Meldrick “Kid” Taylor contained monumental championship stakes with superstar status on the line. Both men were undefeated, and each was making the third defense of their Super Lightweight title. But as great as both men were, “The Lion of Culiacan” Julio Cesar Chavez was the clear favorite by pundits and the 9000-person crowd draped in Mexican flags. Crowd bias aside, Chavez was the front-runner for a good reason.
