Julio Cesar Chavez Jr will put his WBC middleweight title on the line on February 4 against Marco Antonio Rubio in San Antonio, part of an HBO double-header that will also include Nonito Donaire facing Wilfredo Vazquez Jr for the vacant WBO super bantamweight belt.
Chavez (44-0-1, 31 KO) is “supposed” to be facing Sergio Martinez next or facing a stripping of his title belt, but as expected the WBC is appearing to play favorites and not sticking by their tough talk of “Sergio or stripped” from before.
The whole thing is a near-perfect example of boxing nonsense as Rubio (53-5-1, 46 KO) supposedly won a WBC eliminator in April 2011 with his upset of then-unbeaten David Lemieux, but then the WBC said that was not an eliminator fight, but Rubio became the No. 1-ranked challenger anyway.
