Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs Sebastian Zbik set for June 4th

June 4
At Los Angeles (HBO): Sebastian Zbik vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., 12 rounds, for Zbik's WBC middleweight title

So this is Lil JCC's "big" step up in competition? If Pavlik is looking shot when he comes back, I wouldn't be suprised if the Bobfather puts him up next.

They talked about it once before

I doubt they do it

Pavlik has $ fights he's targeting at 168 - Ward, Froch, Bute, Kessler, etc

I don't see Pavlik lasting much longer, dude has way too many issues, and will lose his his size advantage. He probably fights one of the guys, gets destroyed, and Arum cashes him out with a catchweight fight to JCC Jr.

Unless Chavez Jr starting crushing guys out of nowhere I doubt he fights someone with the power of Pavlik

He's content milking his name and fighting nobodies at home lol

How good is this Zbik guy? I never even heard of him.

Really?

Zbik has hung around the top 10 at 160, but that's more a reflection on how shitty the division is.

I think Chavez has fought tougher competition. Zbik was supposed to get some shots at some of the top Euro guys and was a WBC mandatory for Pavlik (I think) but nothing ever materialized. I think Freddie gets just enough out of Bum Jr. to win.

Yeah I think Jr. wins but thats only because I couldnt pick Zbik out if only me and him were in the same room.
