Excellent. It's no Sergio Martinez, but this is definitely gonna be Jr's biggest challenge. Glad to see it's being made.

Sweet! I can't wait for this one. Two things though...Feb 4th seems pretty quick, since Rubio just fought last night. He did only fight a few rds though. Regardless, I know he'll be ready for this big opportunity. Second, I hope if JCC Jr wins, they honor that deal with Martinez. Sounds too good to be true imo. Man, 2012 is shaping up to be a good one so far!

Finally hes decided to step up to the plate and fight a decent middleweight, rubio should be a hard fight.

LMAO, Sergio thinks Rubio is going to KO Chavez in 6 rounds or less... and he may be right, but that's not good for his pockets !

This should be a entertaing fight both guys aren't hard to find and like to chuck leather everyone talks about JR hasn't faced anyone as good as Rubio which is true but Rubio has lost most of his big fights so we'll see which pattern holds.

Does this mean Serg is fighting in March still bcse doubt the winner will be ready till late summer

Wow good fight, i got rubio

[rethinkcommon]

I applaud the young "champion" (or so named) for clearly stepping up in competition. A fight with Rubio will answer a great amount of questions surrounding the younger Chávez.

Winner gets Martínez? By all means. I would not mind seeing it.

This wont be for the MW belt, JR. will get stripped!

If TR-Dibella agree that winner faces Serg WBC won't cost them the chance at the payday JR vs Martinez could fetch
