Carlos “the Tsar” Aguilar coexisted with the worst version of Julio César Chávez, This one in which the drug and the unreason governed to the legend of the Mexican boxing, in the stage in which they both shared microphones in the boxing project of TV Azteca.
Over the years, the now TUDN commentator remembers with nostalgia what they experienced hand in hand, although some of the chapters were not pleasing and they were full of tension by the madness of the champion, one of whom was encouraged to relate.
“Sitting at the broadcast table we were broadcasting and Julio said ‘No, Carlitos, in this one the red one will win’ … and the red one wins the fight! “, Aguilar recalled in an interview with Toño de Valdés, prior to proving Chávez’s worst version.
“I say to the field, ‘you’re a conjurer,’ then he grabs it, turns around and says ‘don’t call me fucking, you bastard’“Because he was gone,” he added with a nervous laugh.
“I say no, champ, calm down and he answers: ‘You tell me like that again and I’ll send you to kill’… I grabbed it and said ‘to the tower! It was at its most complicated time, “he added.
A master for the Tsar
However these bad times, Aguilar was left with the latest version of the champion, Which has already 12 years without trying some cocaine and that he has tried to rebuild his life. Temptations abound, he had to see it first hand, but there is no room in the world Chávez.
“He is my teacher because he falls, he returns to the clinic and when he returns he is tolerant, calm, he likes to read, he likes spaces for reflection … The last 12 years are full of that and on staff I like it“The journalist abounded.
The Tsar pointed out that it was his turn to see how they arrived at every place they set foot up to 20 people who were approached by the drug and to whom only the gesture thanked them, no more. Willpower than wonder, more because he saw it sunk.
“The most he told me was: ‘Thank you for your tolerance and how much you wanted me to stay in this project that is my life’. It’s a way to get away from the drug. I have a huge affection for him. ”
