After beating Zertuche, whats next?:huh # 1 A title shot vs Kelly Pavlik?:huh # 2 box off with David Lopez to get a title shot?:huh # 3 A fight with a up and comer like Andy Lee or Sergio Mora?:huh
Nobody knows who he is, yes we know, but we are hard-core fans. Giovanni Lorenzo's handlers won't take him into account, Duddy's neither, maybe a trip to Germany for a volountary defense against Abraham. Pavlik?????? Please..... do you envision a guy who just reached superstar/mainstream status take on a nobody like Rubio?
He'll probably have to land a few more fights of this calibre on Espn and Teletufura shows before getting a big pay and/or title shot. Guys like Raul Marquez, Yori Boy, Baldomir, Joval, Jantuah 2, etc. Maybe a prospect will look his way on a Showtime or Hbo opener, guys like Lee, Greene, Hearns, Quillen, etc. Actually Felix Sturm loves to fight him some fighters at or below Rubio's level. Maybe he'll land a fight in Germany against the great Sturm. Rubio should have little trouble finding fights. He makes for good fights and while he is a solid fighter he is beatable.
Haven't seen it but I'm very surprised he got by Zertuche, considering it wasn't so long ago that Jantuah knocked him unconscious.
Yeah I kinda thought Zertuche would have taken this. Looked to be a barnburner on paper. Read that the fight was good.
