Chavez Jr. vs. Rubio Saturday night fight thread

[Mars_ax]

As well as Donaire vs. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., 2 title fights for us fans, it should be worth a look.

Feb. 4
At San Antonio (HBO): Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Marco Antonio Rubio, 12 rouds, for Chavez's WBC middleweight title; Nonito Donaire vs. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., 12 rounds, for vacant WBO junior featherweight title; Vanes Martirosyan vs. Troy Lawry, 10 rounds, junior middleweights.

Rubio should be a solid test for Julio Jr, Rubio is a big, durable, experienced middleweight, who's got decent power and fought better competition. Chavez Jr. figures to outwork Rubio and get a decision, but it will be interesting to see how the fight plays out.
As for Donaire, I don't see Vazquez Jr. being much of a threat, Nonito will put his lights out within 6 rounds.

Who you kats got?

Must admit I don't know much about Rubio. But if the Chavez Computer spit out his name as an opponent, he must not be much of a threat to take Junior's "0" or worse.... knock him the fukk out.

Rubio is probably the best fighter, with the most power, Julio Jr. has faced so far. Chances are Roach will have Jr. ready, but i'm just hoping Rubio fucks up their preparation on fight night.

I actually think Rubio might pull it off.

At least I hope he does, I can't stand Jr.

I never cared much for Chavez Sr either.. If Rubio is able to hurt Jr, we might see a good fight, if not Jr will likely win a controversial decision.

Julio Ceaser Chavez Snr was one of the greatest fighters I have ever seen. I love his style of boxing it was beautiful and brutal. You take that back.

I didn't say Julio Sr. wasn't great in his heyday, check him out clowning Uncle Roger for the WBC super featherweight title when Chavez was just 22, in 1985:

Wilfredo getting his last digs in, before Donaire pummels him.

Donaire fight is beginning to look good from that picture.

Rubio is not a bad fight for Chavez Jr. It's a shame he ducked Martinez and I'm not forgiving him for same, but Rubio is a legit challenge and he deserves some credit if he wins.

Both fights should be good scraps.

I think Rubio has a good shot at pulling it off. I hope hes not on the payroll though.

Chavez wins the early rounds convincingly and then Rubio turns it up mid to late but it'll be too late and Chavez gets a UD.

That's a good prediction, i'm just hoping Rubio can hurt Jr. early and take him out of his fight plan.
