By Cliff Rold - 28-year old Marco Antonio Rubio worked through nine professional years for the chance to become the first Mexican-born fighter to capture the lineal World Middleweight Championship. He lasted nine rounds before he elected to end his journey in the corner on Saturday night at the Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown, Ohio. He was game in spots, but Rubio (43-5-1, 37 KO) had no sustained answers for the 26-year old king at 160 lbs, Youngstown, Ohio’s Kelly Pavlik (35-1, 31 KO). [details]
