Chavez Jr. versus Rubio is very interesting. I think the Wild Card fighters are as protected as any but they made a mistake with Khan-Peterson one part of me thinks they might be repeating the mistake against Rubio. This is a hard fight to predict. I can see Jr. looking very good, or taking a beat down in later rounds. I am going to go with my first instinct, Jr. has improved enough to beat Rubio and too much has been made about the Lemieux fight because Lemieux was over rated.
Since losing to Pavlik, Rubio has won 11 straight fights, 10 by KO, I figure Jr. is going to have his hands full Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, a good old Mexican shoot out.

Vazquez Jr. shouldn't be much of a problem for Donaire.
