At Centro de Convenciones in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, middleweight contender Marco Antonio “El Veneno” Rubio (51-5-1, 44 KOs) stopped Mohammad Akrong (13-3, 10 KOs) in the fifth round. Rubio, the WBC's mandatory challenger at 160-pounds, punished Akrong with hard blows. The Mexican warrior was trying to send a message to the WBC champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. When the Akrong fight was over, Rubio continued to issue challenges in Chavez's direction. Chavez likely returns on November 19th against Peter Manfredo Jr. and then he has to face the WBC's Diamond champion Sergio Martinez by March 2012.
