Why wasn’t Erickson Lubin offered mandatory fight with Tim Tyszu?

WBC is a joke.. LOL a guy that got KTFO is essentially being crowned WBC champ directly after getting put to bed.. SMH

Better yet, why was Ramos Jr. the guy who beat Lubin not offered the shot?

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

I don't care about the politics involved or rankings or any of that in this particular situation. I think it is awesome that a fight with Tim is still happening, that Tim is cool with the drastic shift in opponent, and that the human spider wants to fight a buzz on short notice. Go boxing!

Exactly what I said and style wise Tszyu/Ramos would be fireworks.

I was fairly interested in Tszyu/Thurman, but I think this might be better. Not saying Fundora is a lock or anything (in fact, far from it), but his reach and nearly one foot height differential is going to give Tim problems on the night of. I suspect/expect fireworks.

Props to the Towering Inferno , betting on himself and taking this fight ..............

[Oldskoolg]

Good for Fundora, I wouldn’t mind seeing him pull this off. I hope it’s a shootout

[The D3vil]

Good.

This is a wayyyyy better fight.

I'm tired of Keef failing upwards

[Beercules]

This will be interesting. What's wrong with Keith now ?
