LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Unbeaten Mexican middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr. has tested positive for the banned diuretic Furosemide and faces a nine-month suspension and 100,000-dollar fine, ESPN reported Saturday.

The son of Mexican boxing icon Chavez Snr, tested positive in his 10-round victory over Troy Rowland on November 14, Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer said Saturday.

The bout was on the undercard of Filipino star Manny Pacquiao's victory over Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto last month in Las Vegas.

Chavez, 23, has until December 21 to respond to a formal complaint with a hearing to follow. Should the commission uphold the test results, Chavez's victory would be ruled a no decision.

Chavez would also have to provide a clean urine sample before being allowed to fight in Nevada again.

While a suspension would likely be honored across the United States,
Chavez would be free to fight in Mexico.

Furosemide is included on the World Anti Doping Agency's list of banned products under the heading 'Diuretics and Other Masking Agents'.

that kid sucks anyways what a shame to his name dude has a perfect record but against nobodys he fights bum's and janitors fuck him.
I don't think JCC Jr. is gonna be all that great but people saying he's a disgrace to his name by fighting the guys he's fighting are laughable and don't know anything about his father's career besides his name.

Breakdowns for that ass by naner12 ..

In the last 10 fights compared to his father's career in the same # of fights at the time .. (JCC Jr. opponent on the left, father on the right)

42 Troy Rowland (25-2) Ramon Avitia (3-3)
41 Jason LeHoullier (21-1-1) Armando Flores (PRO DEBUT)
40 Luciano Cuello (23-0) Adriano Arreola (21-4)
39 Matt Vanda (39-7) Benny Abarca (9-13)
38 Matt Vanda (38-6) Romero Sandoval (3-4)
37 Tobia Loriga (24-0-1) Javier Fragoso (0-2)
36 Jose Celaya (31-3) Ernesto Herrera (22-15-3)
35 Ray Sanchez (20-1) Othoniel Lopez (1-1)
34 Louis Brown (15-2) Jerry Lewis (6-4)
33 Grover Wiley (30-9-1) Jerry Lewis (6-3)
32 Anthony Shuler (20-4-1) Jose Resendez (13-28-2)

People are comparing JCC Jr's career, a kid with no amateur background getting his experience in the professional ranks, to his father's career as a whole when his father came up fighting far, far worse fighters to get started.
