Chavez vs Rubio February 4!

Martinez is the mandatory fight so Chavez will be stripped of his paper title.

Or maybe Maravilla will be "accidentally" beaten up by tugs and forced to vacate.

 

oh **** this is a hell of a card. is this on HBO, Showtime, or TR PPV?

 

who gives a **** about the We Be Crooks title!

 

Mexicans?

 

Rubio cant allow the match to go to the cards, if that happens is almost sure that Chavez will win regardless of what happens in the ring

You can bet Lemieux is at least a much, much harder puncher

24-0 at the time he fought Rubio in march of this year. 23 KO's.

 

Chavez will win.He will outbox Rubio and win wide IMO.

 

I say Chavez beats Rubio and then beats Martinez by the end of the year to cause all boxing fans to perform a massive flip-flop and start calling the guy a top 20 p4p guy.

 

... Never knew Chavez Jr was called Kell Brook

 

Sounds like Martinez will get step aside money to allow Chavez-Rubio, honestly Sergio doesn't have any options. How sad is it to have a dominant champion like Sergio and has to be at the mercy of someone like Chavez & Top Rank. If Martinez doesn't make a fight with Chavez he'd have to face a dangerous test like Pirog/Geale winner probably for less money.

I think Chavez can outbox Rubio for 12 rounds, he came into the Manfredo fight in phenomenal shape, plus he's going to be alot bigger than Rubio, who's frame isn't that big for a MW. Rubio had trouble with Ornelas because he was so much bigger.

 

I was worried about that as well, but he didn't look to be all that unmotivated when he was pushing Vanda's **** in. :yep

 

So if this is Rubio getting the WBC title shot he's been working his way towads, this doesn't interfere with the WBC ordering Martinez-Chavez? What was the time frame on that?

The promoters negotiated a workaround?

 

Common sense would suggest it doesnt effect chavezs title in any way if Martinez is fighting macklin?

 

It's being reported as a WBC world title opportunity for MAR. :conf

 

DiBella is requesting an immediate purse bid for the Chavez fight. He said that they've agreed in principle to fight Macklin, but they're waiting for Chavez to duck/be stripped first. I'm pretty sure Martinez would have no problem just taking the February date with Chavez.
