Chavez triumphs

JULIO Cesar Chavez Jr defeated Germany's Sebastian Zbik by majority decision in Los Angeles on Saturday to win the WBC middleweight title, taking a major step toward establishing his own legacy while his famous father looked on. "My father came to the Wild Card and told me, 'This is where you win the fight, not down the street at Staples Center'," Chavez, 25, said of the gym of his trainer, Freddie Roach, who also works with Manny Pacquiao. "Work hard, listen to Freddie Roach. This is how you win titles." Chavez's father won his first title in the same town in 1984.
