Rubio chin is weak. I think Pavlik stops him early
I concur. He got freaking rocked by Kofi Jantuah.

Pavlik has power to easily match him. He has fought the better guys and finished them violently. Kofi doesn't have nearly the power Pavlik dose. Rubio Throws more of a looping punch in a higher position . Terrible match up for a hard hitting guy who throw strait punches. Pavlik by 3. Not even a close fight. They don't match up. One has a world class chin one has a chandelier for a jaw. They are both tall. 6'1" and 6'3". They both have great power. But this is a bad match up. Dissect it your self. Compare them and you will agree. Put a guy in with a glass jaw with a world class boxer who is probably the hardest hitter pound for pound and 160 through 168 is a recipe for a quick fight.
