Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. puts gold up for grabs at Super Bowl Weekend event in Texas

Super Bowl Weekend is shaping up to be an amazing few days for fight fans, as it appears 25-year old sensation Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will put his WBC middleweight title and unbeaten record on the line against 53-5-1 Marco Antonio Rubio. Adding to what should already be a great environment, the event will take place in San Antonio, Texas giving Hispanic fans in the area an opportunity to cheer on two of boxing’s top Mexican competitors.

Chavez Jr. holds an overall record of 44-0-1, having won twenty straight scraps since enduring his career’s lone blemish six years ago. The upcoming bout with Rubio will be the rising star’s second consecutive clash in Texas, racking up a fifth round TKO against Peter Manfredo Jr. in Houston last month, and second time he’s visited the home of The Alamo in his previous five fights.

Rubio is also in the midst of a respectable winning streak with ten in a row. Perhaps more impressive has been his ability to put opponents away rather than go the distance, picking up nine of the victories via TKO during his current run.

The Februry 4 card is also slated to feature “The Filipino Flash”, Nonito Donaire (27-1), throwing down for the WBO super bantamweight belt against former champion Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr. (19-1).
