Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu Rips Erickson Lubin: "They Start Getting Cold Feet"

[Boxfan83]

Tim Kazoo is a good fighter. Unsure why he gets so much hate.

[Phase III]

Tszyu v Once Upon A Time is a decent fight but very predictable. What makes absolutely no sense is the Lara v Zerafa fight. Zerafa is not raked in the top 15 by any sanctioning body (WBC, IBF, or WBO) except the WBA where he’s #1. How much did someone pay the WBA for that? Berry berry strange.

Tszyu…. TKO 8
Lara…….KO 2

Let’s use some common sense here. Lubin at a very young age stepped up to face a prime charlo. Lost and then built himself back up by fighting guys like gallimore , guaya and Rosario. He fights fundora and loses a fight if the year wheee he shows tremendous heart and then comes back to fight arias and Ramos. Are we really supposed to believe he got cold feet over tyszy? Especially after he expressed surprise publicly that negotiations stopped? Something doesn’t add up.

Indeed, for a PBC guy with above average skills and the potential to become a "star" (with the right grooming I'll admit) Lubin has been matched "tough" the past few years.

Lubin doesn't even deserve the fight in the first place

[Bullrider]

We will never know the whole story. I'm very sure it was first offered to Jermell Charlo, as others already pointed out. He declined. Lubin don't usually turned down any fight, but this time he says no. It's possible Tzsyu is also offered to Crawford and Ennis. They too declined.

But this is PBC. The media don't throw anyone under the bus. You might count on fighters themselves like Tzsyu or Thurman when he comes out to promote the fight.

If this is TR, GBP, Matchroom, every dirt is exposed without any constraint by the media.

That’s fine. But not relevant to the issue being discussed.

A well past it injury prone Thurman having first fight at 154. No title on the line is not PPV; it will bomb badly at the box office.

It's non-title as it's at a BS 155 catch-weight.

Why? Wonder which side didn't want it at 154?

[MulaKO]

Yep, and it was revealed by Tims manager he was in talks with Thurman for mths, saying it took lots of talks to get it done. What these guys say in public and whats going on for real are often two different things.

So Tim pulled out if I’m understanding correctly

Good observation. Lubin will fight anyone , especially for a title. Tim would smoke him but Lubin would definitely show up.

I don't get it either. He's really good ,puts on exciting fights, stays busy , and wants all the smoke. What's not to like ? He isn't some entitled kid dining out on his dads fame. Tim has earned his.
