On Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio, tough Texan Bryan Vera gets his second shot at the legend's son, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., as the two meet in a rematch of their fight last September, which Chavez won by controversial unanimous decision.
I consider that decision the second worst of 2013, trailing only Ricky Burns' split-decision victory over Raymundo Beltran. The once-extremely popular Chavez was booed loudly when the scores were announced.
For the veteran Vera, a win will provide vindication and should secure him a world title shot. Chavez will meanwhile be looking to win decisively and make a statement, to prove he's more than an overhyped fraud getting by on his old man's reputation.
