Chavez Junior retains title!

A 7th round stoppage between Julio Cesar Chavez Junior and Andy Lee, following a barrage of punches and a heavy right uppercut, saw Chavez Junior keep his WBC World Middleweight title.

Lee looked to have the upper hand early on in the fight, but it wasn't long before a taunting Chavez Junior took control of the ring putting Lee into retreat.

Of the stoppage, Chavez said "I began by studying him, I saw he had nothing, and I dove in."
