When Chavez Educated the Biggest Talkative Fighter of His Career... It Ended in Tragedy - Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Loonie Smith In 1991, Julio Cesar Chavez was at the peak of his career. Undefeated, feared, and considered by many to be the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, the Mexican champion was about to defend his WBC super lightweight world title against an opponent unlike any he'd faced before. On the other side was Lonnie Smith, a burly, explosive, and extremely talkative fighter who claimed to have no fear of Chavez. Smith promised to humiliate the Mexican in front of the world and was convinced that his physique, speed, and confidence would be enough to dethrone the legend. But in the ring, the words were forgotten. What happened that night was a true physical and mental war. Chavez wasn't focused on winning the fight; He sought to punish and wear down an opponent who had crossed too many lines before the fight. Round after round, the Mexican's brutal pressure turned the fight into a nightmare for the American.
