[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Middleweight puncher Marco Antonio Rubio is doing whatever he can to assist WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana in his ongoing training camp. Both Rubio and Maidana train under coach Robert Garcia, and conditioning coach Alex Ariza, in Oxnard. Maidana will return on May 3rd against WBC champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Rubio is back on April 4th against Domenico Spada for the WBC interim-middleweight championship at Gran Estadio in Chihuahua, Mexico.

lol ... i feel this thread its gonna end up in a discussion comparing the skills of rubio to the ones of floyd.

I always thought Rubio fought like Floyd or is it the other way around...?

Floyd's shoulder roll derived from Rubio's.

Good choice of sparring partner

[Russian Crushin]

Is that Ponce De Leon? Looks like he's taking the Lopez KO hard

[ShoulderRoll]

You guys are goofs.

He's obviously not going to imitate Floyd's style but he can give Chino ideas on how to apply pressure, how to cut off the ring, and how to set up some combinations. That kind of thing.

While never having fought any one like Floyd

Chino should know better than Rubio how to fight Mayweather, he beat a watered down(severely watered down) Floyd.

It didnt say that they were sparring it looks like they were just running/doing conditioning together .

[MaskedMurderer]

what is rubio like 55 and 51 KO's

he has a nice record.

[ShoulderRoll]

He's never fought anyone like Floyd but Rubio has a similar style to Maidana. He might have some tips to help him maximize that style.

The dude has been in 65 fights. That experience can be valuable.
