GGG vs Rubio october 18

[King_]

A poster on here called it, Hougigo I believe. So if GGG is fighting Rubio, who is Cotto going to fight to close out the year?

Andy Lee?


Just a thought.

Wrong. Rubio is a guy who's pretty solid, sure I'll give you that, but one thing he doesn't possess is defense. He has no head movement and GGG will knock his block off pretty easily. And it won't be a testiment to GGG's skill or power, more so the fact that he had a walking punching bag in front of him.

I see you've made up your mind to not give him credit. Wonder why..

Probably because Rubio isn't as good as these fickle fans are making him out to be?

Ah, the person who has never put on a boxing glove.

Have you tried on some thumbless gloves yet?

When I think of Rubio I can't help but think of the Beating he took from Pavlik. Basically just quit on the Stool. It's gonna be another Geale fight.

Likely to be in California as well, should be a big crowd down there for this fight.

Expect Rubio to shell up against the ropes like he did against Lemieux. The difference is GGG will not waste and blow his load in 3 rounds like Lemieux did.

GGG will create openings, then force Rubio to open up and stop him in 4 or 5 rounds.

Rubio tried the same thing against Pavlik but Pavlik did not tire either. Lemieux fought a dumb fight against him, but I guess he was still young and very raw.

cotto ducks GGG and avoids his mandatory all in one go lol

Decent fight. Not like any better middleweights will step in the ring with him.

For Rubio, this is a win-win situation. If he wins, then his name moves to the top of the list. If he loses, he's out of the WBC picture which allows Miguel Cotto to fight someone different at 160lbs.
