If Lubin doesn't want to travel, then just let Tszyu fight the Champion!!!

...or just let the fight go to purse-bid. If Lubin pulls out, then bump him down the rankings and move on to another contender.

This is a hell of a fight if it happens.

Lubin knows he won't get the same kind of love from the judges he got against Ramos if he fights in Australia. I like Erickson, he's normally a very entertaining fighter, but I thought he was very fortunate to get the win against Jesus.

I imagine if Lubin and Tszyu do meet up, it will be a violent fight. Hope it happens...

Tszyu straight ducked Vergil Ortiz with a mythical injury.. this is absolutely disgusting..

Lubin should not be forced to fight Tszyu in his home country.. what has Tszyu even done to be given such a fight after a lost..

Meanwhile, Ramos is getting absolutely scrw3d over

Tsyu does what all true fighters should do. take the challenges, win or lose, still be a must see highly paid fighter.

nah. I think that will still happen. doubt tsyu or Ortiz would duck anyone. Ortiz fights month before, so maybe in next fight

They determined that the huge cut that Tszyu had was not able to heal fully by the time they fought. Ortiz and camp moved on. That is no out of the questions huge gashes like that to let heal for a prolonged time to avoid it reopening to easily during a fight.

I agree that Ramos got screwed.

1. Tszyu was still nursing his head gash sustained in the Fundora fight. This isn't some 'mythical' injury that happened in private.
2. Lubin doesn't have notable marquee value or promotional backing, so he'll travel where the money is.
3. Ramos is in a similar situation to Lubin, but it's even worse because he technically lost to Lubin. Lubin will get priority over him.

I'd prefer to watch Tszyu/Ramos.
