Chavez Jr. vs Rubio: Why Chavez Jr. Must Be Aggressive Early

Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. needs to be aggressive early in his fight with Marco Antonio Rubio because he needs to establish a dominating tone that he can maintain for the entire bout.

Chavez Jr. has an astounding 43-0-1-1 record as a fighter and will certainly come out with a fury against Rubio to earn the momentum after the first few rounds.

While some boxing fans and experts think Chavez Jr. has faced soft competition recently, there's no way you build a record like he has by fighting poor opponents all the time.

This criticism will motivate him to destroy Rubio because many believe Chavez Jr. has his reputation because of his father, who is a legend of the sport.

This lack of respect will anger Chavez Jr. and he will take this aggression out on Rubio, who won't have the stamina to survive an early onslaught from his opponent.

Another reason Chavez Jr. needs to be aggressive early is he cannot allow Rubio to gain confidence with each round. If Chavez Jr. is weak in the early rounds and doesn't attack Rubio enough, he will lose the competitive edge in the fight.

The more Rubio believes he can beat Chavez Jr. and withstand his punches, the harder it will be for Chavez Jr. to win this bout. An early fury of strong punches is so critical to his chances of beating Rubio.

Chavez Jr. has been a dominant fighter throughout his career and if he can take it to Rubio early in this fight he shouldn't have much problem earning a hard fought but well deserved victory.
