All I can do is laugh.
The scary thing is that JCC almost pulled off a dramatic 12th round knockout while being lifted. That is maybe the most impressive thing about this.
Getting high is probably not the best way to get ready for a fight where someone wants to beat your brains in, but JCC is not your normal fighter.
This may explain why it took him 10 rounds to wake up and start fighting like he wanted to win. He is staring at a year long suspension for his latest failed drug test.
For Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to test positive for marijuana–MARIJUANA–in Nevada, after already testing positive once is unbelievably stupid

*UPDATE*
According to Bob Arum, JCC was suffering from Insomnia and weed should be legal.
Bob Arum says he was told Chavez Jr. smoked marijuana “three-four weeks” out of breaking camp to deal with insomnia. #boxing

Prior Nevada pot cases have shown positives come when use is within seven days, one expert told me. #boxing

Arum went on a rant about how marijuana should be legalized anyway. “Why does everything have to be gotcha journalism?” he asked.
