    You better hope Williams beats Martinez so. Because Martinez is all wrong for Lemieux. Too soon for the kid. Give him another 3 or 4 fights.

    Rubio would be a pretty decent step up for Lemieux - he has a chin, and he's a long fighter. He does have a history of wilting under pressure though, and I would expect Lemieux to win.

    I'm just not sure who they are getting a shot at.

    Martinez or that Interim champ. named Zbik?

    What about Chavez Jr and his "Silver Belt"?

    I think Chavez is dumping his silver title. Lemieux beats the everloving tar out of Zbik, who sucks badly and needed a couple of robberies just to keep his paper title.

    Oh right. I thought it was an eliminator to fight the real WBC champion. Yeah, a paper bull**** WBC title sounds more realistic.

    Marco Antionio will get knocked out in Brutal Fashion. he is horrible...

    Again this is not a test for this kid. He should fight some durable Fresh guy who can hold their own..

    Lemieux is 21 for **** sake. He fought for a world title last year. Rubio is a perfect step up. I'd like to see him fight an awkward tall classical boxer. Someone like Craig McEwan.

    Good news!

    But i'm doubt that this fight will take place on December 3! Maybe they will wait or fight an easy opponent!
