Andrzej Fonfara knocks down Chavez Jr., wins after 9 rounds (The Associated Press)
Andrzej Fonfara knocked down Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in the ninth round and won after the bell Saturday night when the referee stopped it. Fonfara (26-4, 15 KOs) landed big shots all night at the outdoor StubHub Center ring, and his left hand in the ninth knocked down Chavez (48-2) for the first time in the boxing scion’s career. The referee ended the bout on advice from Chavez’s trainer, Joe Goossen. Fonfara, a native of Poland living in Chicago, was penalized a point for using his shoulder in the seventh, but appeared to be in control before the stoppage.
