By: Team Real Combat Media

 
“Welcome to the Future”,  is the title that Top Rank is naming this co-main event tonight on HBO Championship Boxing. The card will feature WBC Middleweight Champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs Marcos Antonio Rubio and in the co-feature, Nonito Donaire vs Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. for the vacant WBO Super Bantamweight Title.
 
Both co-main event title fights are highly anticipated by many boxing fans. Many want to see how Chavez Jr. will handle a solid skilled fighter in Rubio, who has the power to KO Chavez Jr. if he is not careful. The Donaire vs Vazquez Jr. has picked up some hype due to some outside the ring issues between the fighters wives. Some choice words were exchanged, removing of hats and a shoving match insured as tension roused.  The press conference was a tense one for Donaire and Vazquez Jr. which many felt will carry over to yesterday’s weigh-in, while the face off was tense cooler heads seemed to prevail.
 
The Nonito Donaire and Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. weigh-in results are as follows:

Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. weigh-in at 122
 
The Julio C. Chavez Jr. and Marcos Antonio Rubio might not have had the same fireworks as their co-featured fighters, they did have their own version as to who is going to win tonight’s fight. Many feel that Chavez Jr. still has plenty to prove, and a win over the veteran Mexican fighter Marcos A. Rubio will finally give junior that creditably he needs. A win for Rubio and it will open doors for him that were never opened before. Nonetheless, this fight is going to be a tough fight for both Chavez Jr, and Rubio, it will come down to who wants it the most.
