WBC mandatory middleweight challenger Marco Antonio Rubio (47-2-2, 26KOs) will take on WBC middleweight champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez (52-5-1, 45KOs) and the winner will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. according to the WBC president, Jose Sulaiman.
Rubio is currently ranked as the number #1 middleweight by the WBC. Chavez Jr. who recently canceled his upcoming fight on September 17, is now schedule to take on Peter Manfredo on November 19. Martinez is also schedule to fight Darren Barker on October 1.
Rubio stunned me knocking out Lemieux, that was awesome!, i think he would ko chavez easily and so would martinez (no doubt), but speaking about martínez-rubio fight, i’m going for martínez. He will beat them both
@ Jonny-Boy,
I totaly agree. One thing I don’t understand though is…Rubio won a title elimination fight a few months ago that was recognized by the WBC. Why is the WBC now saying he must fight Martinez first ? The answer is obvious but what explanation did the WBC give ?? Rubio has been calling Chavez out time and time again since he won the elimination bout. He did it again during his post fight interview in his last fight last weekend. Martinez has been doing the same thing saying he wants his title back that he won in the ring. The WBC had no right to strip him just to let Chavez beat a tomato can and be champion.
Chavez will duck them both, because he knows Martinez will knock his ass out and Rubio will probably do the same. I’m sure another ceiling fan has it out for him, or maybe he’ll get another fever. Point is Chavez will not fight anybody who is a threat I’m sure he will vacate the title as a last resort. Chavez Jr. is a joke hopefully he does attempt to take on Martinez so he can retire early and do the sport a favor.
