BoxingScene.com spoke to legendary Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arum regarding the futures of newly crowned WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. In June, the 25-year-old Chavez (43-0-1, 30 KOs) of Culiacon, Mex., dethroned Germany's 29-year-old Sebastian Zbik (30-1, 10 KOs) by unanimous decision and appears to be in line to meet 30-year-old contender Peter Manfredo (37-6, 20 KOs) in the fall.

It's funny Chavez has two mandatory (Rubio,Martinez) and he is allowed to fight a C class fighter not ranked in anybodies Top 20.

it's probably evenly matched and be a good scrap.......but putting the 'championship fight' banner on this bout is f'n FRUSTRATING

[Evil Abed]

Another fairly even fight.

Manfredo provides a name and less risk than Rubio or Martinez.

Smart move.

Its actually a pretty fun match-up.

nooooo we have to wait till november for this barnburner damn it!

The joke is that there's a "World Championship" title at stake, but this is a good matchup.

Manfredo is going to give this kid all he can handle. Peter is a pretty good inside fighter and that's where Chavez does his damage. If he's stronger than Chavez, I can see an upset decision or robbery against him.
