Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s 40-0-1 professional record with 30 knockouts is more amazing considering the 23-year-old had no amateur experience. Still, his unbeaten mark is 49 short of his legendary father's of 89-0-1 when he suffered his first loss.

"He's my idol," said the 6-foot Chavez Jr., who, in this video, discusses and works up a sweat while training for Saturday night's upcoming, 10-round bout with Troy Rowland in Las Vegas on the Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao undercard.

Check out the video after the jump.
