Julio Cesar Chavez Boxing Tickets

Julio Cesar Chavez tickets were some of the most popular ever issued for professional boxing or any other sporting event for that matter.  Did you know that more than 136,000 fans showed up to see Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen? My favorite story about the immortal boxer nicknamed "The Lion of Culiacan" occured during his bout with a fighter named Edwin Rosario; Chavez felt like Rosario disrespected his Mexican people, so Chavez punished the guy for 11 rounds.  In the final round before Chavez scored a TKO to win the WBA Lightweight Championship, he landed 73 of 91 punches!!! He landed an amazing 80% of his punches; no wonder Julio Cesar Chavez won 108 fights and KO'd 87 of his opponents!
