Gladly. I've been watching Lubin since before he became a pro. He was a good amateur, but needed more time to hone his skills. Unfortunately, Mike Tyson came along offering these young guys contracts with hefty signing bonuses the moment they turned 18. Lubin was one of the them. The Mike Tyson deal didn't work out and then Lubin fell into Al Haymon's hands. Haymon's trying to pick up the pieces but I fear it's too late. The kid is gonna be in line for a title shot well before he's ready.

When I say I'm not too impressed, I mean his skills aren't what they should be for someone talking title shot in a stacked division. "Chop down Charlo," really? He's good, but not SPECIAL. I don't look at records, when analyzing young fighters. You know how many fighter go undefeated in their first 20 or so fights? I breakdown what I see and how it would look at the next level. I saw him gas a little in his fight against Montero and he was trying too hard for the knockout. His power is decent at best. Problem is when you fight at the highest level, guys aren't just more skilled, they tend to also be more durable. Taking that into account, his style will have to be adjusted as his career goes on. This means relying more on boxing skills, which is where the amateur pedigree would've came in.

What I mean by "He'll get better," is that he's still sharpening skills that should've been sharpened in the amateurs. Of course at his age he'll get better with experience, but it's not enough. When I see a young fighter who's SPECIAL I can look at them and say, he ready. Lubin ain't ready. When you look at Errol Spence, it's like dayum, he just might be the one. It's not the same for Lubin, different levels of talent.

That being said, Lara and Andrade are just different levels of talent than Lubin. At no point do I see him competing with them. Now the Charlo brothers he may be able to do something with DOWN THE LINE. Too soon and he risk taking a hard L which can hurt his spirit and ruin what could be a decent to good career.

Breh... :forreal:


I disagree with all of this and have been following Lubin since the beginning of his career.

Lubin.....18 years old, 6'0, 147? Ima have to keep my eye on him for the future

He got that bum outta there with the quickness

Erickson Lubin........just in case I need to search in the future for any old posts about him

Seems about that time



I already did the carfax on him 3 years ago...and HE, not Shakur Stevenson, was thought of as the best chance for us to win the Olympic Gold, which was why Team USA was pissed at Tyson


Also, Tysons Promotions folded...that's why Lubin was available. You saying "it didn't work out" was kinda disrespectful to the potential Lubin had and has.

By the way, you do know Lubin has never even faced a guy with a losing record...everyone he beat had a winning record.

Spence? He is 6 years younger than Spence and has more potential...Lubin is 21, Spence is 27 which is the same age Adrien Broner is (the same Broner people thought was funny to laugh at when he said HE WAS young bc he's 27...so I'm sure nobody considers Spence young either, bc that would be inconsistent).


Regardless though, you'll see

I'm the last one to get in my feelings about any comments...I'm the guy who told @Newzz to call Puerto Ricans tropical Mexicans...say that on the streets to a PR N your ass would get shot


I've known Angel to say racist shyt from years ago...I ain't get my panties in a bunch when he said it bout khan...ain't get my panties in a bunch when he shytted on asains...ain't getting my panties in a bunch if he shyts on anything I don't agree with (trump, USA, USA,) none of that

Angel jus called them dudes today white boys...he racist against them too...dude talks shyt like that to errybody erry color

fukk I look like getting upset about a troll



Your definition of racist N mine is different... a white supremisct ain't calling a black man god...ain't running around with a group of black guys erry day that run around with swift

I guess all them black guys that run with team DSG is c00ns

I heard Floyd n Tyson got a beef over lil shyt like that and some other stuff too that I don't really wanna talk about.

no wonder why Tyson never picked him to win vs pac. "hes a scared little man..." LOL

yep and craw still 12-0 him with 2 kds.......so if loma is really skilled he shouldn't have a problem. postol was way taller than craw and longer reach I think.

^^^my bad hyperman...meant for quote @reservoirdogs too

Robert Easter is bigger than everyone he mentioned.

Easter: 5'11 with a 76" reach
Postol: 5' 11 with a 73" reach
Craw: 5'8 with a 70" reach
Loma: 5'6 with a 65 inch reach


Come on breh...Crawford himself would look big next to Loma, but we putting Loma up against Easter's size & chin plus power/stamina? Easter would even have the reach advantage over Postol


Y'all will see though

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Team Crawford agrees with you breh

 

[Newzz]

Showtime stays with the ratings

I'm late as fukk, but that is what I was just thinking while reading that



AB's numbers are going to be ......not only is he fighting on Showtime, he's going head up against All-Star Weekend.


I dont think its going to get that many views, hell, I'M going to be down at All-Star Weekend myself instead of going to the fight

What were his last Showtime #s ??

 

[patscorpio]

nikka those prices for those Thurman Garcia tickets are outrageous

I'll wait.... if not fukk it

for me its waiting until they formally announce their undercard...im patiently waiting for that

 

[Newzz]

Too early fight a Trout or maybe Martirosyan first

I think he's just letting them know he's on his way. He's been quiet long enough... #HammerHeads

 

[patscorpio]

What were his last Showtime #s ??

that was the khabib fight..it went up against lucas-postol...it was between 500-600K i think
