Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu's Return: Erickson Lubin in The Mix For Possible March Defense

[Hustle]

No. Xander Zayas makes sense. Zayas is WBO #2. No Limits will never mention his name. Tim will fight some feeble retread like Lubin in March.

He's 21 with no notable opponent. No thanks until he becomes the mandatory.

Since Tim is such a bad azz, let's see if he fights Xander Zayas, his WBO #2. I doubt he will. He'll settle on some retread like Lubin.

You clearly didn't read the piece properly. As others have already acknowledged, they need a named opponent to sell in Vegas. But no, what was obvious still became the impossible to understand for you.

Lubin is a damn retread who got an early X-mas present against Ramos. No sane boxing fan gives AF about seeing Tim squash Lubin like he squashed Harrison. Pointless fight. You wanna make a splash in Vegas, fight someone dangerous, young and hungry like Zayas.

Come on, bruh, Zayas is good, but damn near nobody knows who tf he is. Why would an Australian promoter trying to get their fighters name to ring out in Vegas match them up with Zayas. Lubin makes better sense, because he fought Charlo, has a higher profile, and has the interim WBC.

Lubin won't last three full rounds with Tszyu. Pointless fight and fans buying tickets to that massacre will feel robbed. Tszyu is already known on these shores. No need for a soda can fight like this. You don't go from barking for Charlo to fighting a retread. Lubin is a clear step down from Mendoza.

In other words, avoid a possible loss. Good business move, bad for his credibility as a bad azz who takes on all comers.

Just what I wanted for x-mas to know I get to see timmy fighting another set up like harrison, tszyu and no limit are straight trash...

Lubin is normally an exciting and dangerous fighter, his last fight he completely switched tactics. I thought he was pretty ho-hum but managed to nick the decision (although I felt he lost).

Good matchup for Tim although I expect him to spark Lubin.

I'd love to see Tszyu v Lubin. I thought Ramos was definitely robbed, there should be a full on investigation into that result. Tszyu would/will destroy Lubin.

[JJ75JJ]

He should be fighting Ramos who clearly defeated Lubin. Horrible decisions should not be rewarded for the guy who truly lost.

Agree Ramos is a more exciting fight, I thought Ramos won easily against Lubin.

[JJ75JJ]

Lubin has got a chance in Vegas, not so much in Australia.

Lubin is only a chance in Vegas if the judges are paid off again like the Ramos fight.

Blah blah blah, Lubin, Las Vegas. Tim couldn't find Las Vegas on a map, and Lubin? Lubin Is licking his chops.

"Tim couldn't find Vegas on a map"? WTF are you talking about? Tszyu knows Vegas very well after spending 3 months there beating the **** out of sparring partners preparing for Charlo in January this year.
