In May 2004, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was for the second time featured on one of his father’s farewell fights. The card entitled “Adiós a México” was also a quick hello by Julio–very quick, as it took only one minute and ten seconds for him to score the TKO win over Antonio Aguilar.

Aguilar showed some head movement and a reasonable jab, but Junior showed his physical superiority with jabs and feints of his own. Aguilar managed to land some small hooks, but Junior forced Aguilar to retreat by countering with one-twos, one of which was followed by a left hook that put Aguilar down. Aguilar was up at about two and took the mandatory 8-count. Junior followed up with jabs and left hooks. He seemed to be foregoing any bodywork in this fight. That became irrelevant when, after Aguilar attempted a couple of wide hooks, Junior landed an left hook followed by a devastating right cross that dropped Aguilar. Referee Gabrial Peralta immediately called a stop to the fight at just 1:10 into the first round.

In the main event, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. squared off against Frankie Randall, the man who first knocked him down and got a win over him in the ring over ten years earlier. Chavez scored the unanimous decision in his Mexico farewell fight. Also on the card, Miguel Angel Gonzalez scored a tenth-round TKO over Ernesto Carmona. Marco Antonio Rubio TKO’ed Fitz Vanderpool in one to retain his WBC International light middleweight title. Genaro Garcia won an eighth-round TKO over Adonis Rivas to retain his WBC Fecarbox bantamweight title. Light welterweight Ernesto Zepeda also won an eighth-round TKO over Oscar Tinajero. Younger brother Omar Chavez, 13, also fought a two-round amateur exhibition bout on the card.
