— PBC (@premierboxing) September 6, 2015Anthony Dirrell has had his share of near tragedies.
The former WBC super middleweight titlist is a cancer survivor, recovered from a broken arm and leg in a motorcycle accident, and was looking to further his comeback by stomping on shopworn veteran Marco Antonio Rubio on the Premier Boxing Champions show from the American Bank Center, in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Sunday.
Where “The Dog” goes after pounding on the game Rubio (59-8-1, 52 KOs) for 10 rounds is anyone’s guess, but at least it got Dirrell some good work and film to break down in winning a unanimous decision.
