By Gerardo Granados: Marco Antonio “Veneno” Rubio (51-5-1, 44 KO’s) is the World Boxing Council (WBC) number one contender to the title, he is a rough and experienced boxer with good power; he had been patient but it seems that he wont let the WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (43-0-1, 30 KO’s) avoid him anymore.
Chavez vs. Rubio
Chavez Jr. likely to face Rubio next rather than Cotto or Martinez
By Eric Thomas: In the latest boxing news, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has decided not to pit newly crowned WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (43-0-1, 30 KO’s) against WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto in September. It seems that Arum has taken a good look at how poor Chavez’s defense was in his close 12 round majority decision win over Sebastian Zbik last weekend and is instead going to have Chavez Jr. go in a different direction.
