Writer's picture: Andrew RiveraAndrew Rivera

For the second time in a row Clinton Chavez and his opponent have put on the fight of the year for New Mexico.


In 2023 Chavez and Caesar Alvarado captured boxingnewmexico’s fight of the year. Chavez defeated Alvarado with a close unanimous decision.


This past November Chavez and Mario Gonzales went toe to toe for 8 grueling rounds. Gonzales looked to be on his way to a close decision win, his constant pressure seemed to be the difference in the fight, but Chavez would fight back and let Gonzales slow down.


Once Gonzales slowed down in the 7th and 8th round, Chavez unleashed a barrage of punches that hurt Gonzales many times.


In the final part of round 8, Chavez sent Gonzales to the ropes hurt and on wobbly legs, prompting referee Robert Velez to halt the fight with less than 10 seconds, giving Chavez the victory.


Both fighters deserved to win, showing true heart and grit. They gave the fans the Fight of the year!!

They need to run it back Legacy Promotions.
