Not 4months after getting butchered by hopkins he manages to get the weight back off and immidiately challenge the mandatory opponent in his home town.

Could quite easily of spent another 2-3 months with the excuse that he had to get himself back down to the weight and mentally ready after such a heavy defeat but has instead put his money where his mouth is and chucked himself straight into the deep end.

Anyone thats seen rubio will tell you this will not be a lockett type blowout and kelly is gonna need a performance to take the win.

But one thing we definitely could never label at pavliks door as i do at various others (cough: cough David haye, antonio margarito) is that he is gunshy!!
