Middleweight contender Marco Antonio Rubio (46-5, 40KOs) will face Samuel Miller (20-3, 17KOs) on June 12 at the Estadio Centenario in Gomez Palacio, Durango, Mexico, for the vacant WBC international title.

Miller of Colombia is going hard with the trash talking as the fight draws close. Miller told ESTO he accepted the fight because he "saw Rubio and saw him as a second rate" boxer. He watched Rubio's fight with Kelly Pavlik and thought the Mexican fighter lacked "the heart" to make it a real fight.
