EL PASO, TEXAS - Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., bounced back after suffering just the second loss of his career with a unanimous decision (97-92, 98-91, 96-93) over Marcos Reyes in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on Saturday in front of 9,245 at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

Reyes was the more active fighter - he doubled Chavez's output - but simply couldn't hurt his larger opponent.  After the loss to Andrzej Fonfara in April, Chavez decided to campaign at super middleweight but failed to meet the 168-pound limit for the bout against natural middleweight Reyes.

Chavez (49-2-1, 32 KOs), who was fighting for the first time with trainer Robert Garcia, seemed to be able to land his power shots at will, however he would pick his spots and had long bouts of inactivity.  Although he was working with a new trainer, Chavez continued to bulldoze forward and fought a very similar fight as he did against Fonfara, this time against a much smaller opponent.
