By Jhonny Gonzalez
Marco Antonio Rubio (48-5, 41KOs) threatens a potential WBC world title eliminator against Canadian David Lemieux. Rubio has accepted a fight against unbeaten Dominican boxer Wilson "TNT" Santana (11-0, 7KOs) on January 1 in Torreon, Coahuila de Zaragoza, Mexico.
The WBC ordered Rubio and Lemieux to face each other in a final eliminator. The fight could happen at the end of February or early March. Santana has an unbeaten but it's very padded. None of the fighters he's beaten had winning records and 6 of his 11 wins came against the same three opponents.
