Chavez Jr vs. Rubio is a legit fight

[El.Naranjito707]

IT is going to be the biggest challenge Jr. has faced in his carreer. Win or lose he will still have a fan base but he needs to be impressive in it. If the referee steps in and stops the fight early then he will probably lose a lot of fans (but still maintain a lot).

WAR RUBIO! Cant stand Jr.

I don't like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr either, but his fight against Rubio is very legit. Rubio is a top Middleweight contender. Yes, Julio is hiding behind his promoter Bob Arum in regards to a Sergio Martinez fight and seems to be "ducking" Sergio. But, Marco Antonio Rubio presents a threat to Chavez Jr. He hasn't lost in over a few years, is still a pretty good fighter, and is coming off a pretty solid win over Lemieux. Rubio has more than a punchers shot at beating Julio, he has a pretty good shot. Lets not forget that Zbik took Chavez Jr to the cards and nearly won a tight decision over him.

Yes, Julio should fight Sergio, but Rubio is a legitimate defense.

I have to agree with you bro...

Yea it is pretty legit, kind of sad when talking the 160 pound divisions current state but Rubio should provide a nice stiff test for JCC Jr., if JCC Jr. is to win he will certainly have proven himself to be fairly worthwhile.

I really like this fight card on HBO Feb. 4. I honestly think Rubio will knock Chavez Jr. out and I think Donaire is going to knock Vazquez Jr. out.

hes a coward and works for toprank so he will never fight legit competition.

I like the fight and I'm going to go to it. It's a good fight, a nice step up for JCC Jr. I wouldn't be surprise either if Rubio beats him. But, I favor JCC Jr in that fight. I think if JCC Jr wins and depending on how he wins it will make him a true legit contender.

Agree.

While the Middleweight division is down from what is use to be, there's still some talent in there and decent fights to be made.

Its a solid fight but Rubio is still a long shot to get the W. The matchmakers know exactly what they are doing.

it's jr's first real fight, i wonder how much rubio will be compromised leading up to this fight as well as how he will be treated during and after.

i believe that if this fight is honest and on the up and up, jr gets beaten by rubio..... with that being said ,jr will probably be helped into eeking out a controversial win......

too much current and potential money on jr to be had to let him lose to rubio.... but like i said, in an honest straight up fight, jr loses to rubio 7 out of 10 times....... 3 by ko.
