Bizarro Jr. next for Chavez Sr.?

Mexican website esto.com has tabbed Lou Bizarro Jr. as the next opponent for Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.  In about scheduled for September 17, the report say the legendary Chavez will make the second stop on his latest farewell tour in Phoenix, Arizona. Bizarro hasn't fought in nearly a year since losing to Billy Irwin, but his record is very respectable 24-3, and nobody really wants to see the great Chavez at risk of serious injury anyway.  Bizarro's father was a sucessful lightweight in the 1970's, lasting into the fourteenth round before succumbing to an in-his-prime Roberto Duran. -Scott Shaffer
