Cesar Juarez downgraded Albert Pagara by telling him he that he has not fought any known boxer yet. Juarez faced Nonito Donaire but was knocked down two times en route to a unanimous decision. His latest fight was a split decision loss to Giovanni Delgado who was 16-4, 9KO's.
Juarez lost a twelve round majority decision to Hugo Partida for the WBC Interim FECARBOX super bantamweight title on February 2, 2013. Partida went down in the 3rd round and was cut in the right eye in the 10th round. Juarez was deducted in the 8th round for throwing a rabbit punch, a blow at the back of the head.
Partida is the same fighter who was floored three times in the opening round and knocked out by Pagara on June 21, 2014 for the vacant IBF Intercontinental super bantamweight title. Pagara needed just 1:18 to stop the Mexican.

Juarez was disqualified when he punched Edgar Lozano at the back of his head when he slipped on July 30, 2011. In that fight Juarez was knocked down in the 2nd and 3rd round. It was just Lozano's 2nd fight coming out of a draw. While it was Juarez's first loss after 7 wins.
Juarez was also decisioned by Jorge Lara on July 27, 2012. Lara floored Juarez three times, twice in the first round.
While Juarez may have fought big names in the world of boxing, but he has not won against them. While Pagara remained undefeated in his rising career.

If they win it would be the Cavaliers? 1st ever NBA title, as well as its 100th playoff victory in team history (99-89). Cleveland will attempt at becoming the 4th team to win an NBA Finals Game 7 on the road (3-15) and the first of 33 teams to recover fron a 3-1 deficit in the Finals.

The Cavs won 3 of the last 4 games against the Warriors, outpointing them by an average margin of 12.0 points per game. They were undefeated at 15-0 when they scored 100 points or more in the playoffs. In Game 6, the Cavs tallied 115 and outscored the Warriors 31-11 in the first quarter. Golden State?s 11 points, 5 out of 22 field goals, marked the fewest ever in a first quarter in NBA Finals history when the shot clock was introduced.
Golden State is hard to defeat at home and is 50-4 this season at Oracle Arena, 11-2 in the playoffs. No team in the Finals has ever lost a 3-1 lead, and no team has lost a Finals Game 7 at home in almost 40 years. The Warriors aimed at completing their record 73-9 triumph in the regular season by winning the title. Whatever would be the outcome of Game 7, NBA history will unfold at the Oracle Arena.
