By Dave Lahr: On February 21st, WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (34-1, 30 KOs) will be facing a mirror image of himself in the form of Mexican challenger Marco Antonio Rubio (43-4-1, 37 KOs) at the Chevrolet Centre, in Youngstown, Ohio. Rubio, 28, is every bit as powerful as Pavlik, and holds the potential to stop Kelly with each hand. Though Rubio isn’t well known to many casual boxing fans, he’s very much a real threat to knock Pavlik unlike Bernard Hopkins who recently embarrassed Pavlik with a lopsided 12-round decision victory in October.
