Comments Thread For: Five venues competing to host Tim Tszyu-Erickson Lubin on Sept. 22

[BoxingJunkie]

I would have said this is a guaranteed victory for Tszyu, but you can't completely rule out Erickson either. I favor Tszyu to win, and he should win by knockout, but Erickson is a live dog in this fight... so we shall see.

Matchroom won't stage Liam Paro's first title defence until November/December (2+ months after Tszyu's fight). Should Paro be afforded a homecoming, Queensland cities of Brisbane, Gold Coast & Townsville are most likely destinations.
Moreover, the AFL & NRL Grand Finals are Australian versions of The Superbowl. These events will take place on Saturday, 28th September & Sunday, 6th October respectively.
No Limit Boxing won't want any further delays to Tim Tszyu's return.

I think it's safe to assume you live 'don undah'

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.

He was sparring weeks before he pulled out with Vergil there were videos and the cut was totally closed up and looked healed, the cut was way up high on the head and easily protected with headgear, I feel his management had second thoughts on Vergil and decided to use the cut as an excuse to pull out,

Realize that you are talking about one of the world's most avoided fighters.

The Tower was hurt too, maybe worse. Timmy hits harder, Timmy has better skills, Tim is unbeatable. Now Tim has the worse boo boo too. Fundora can't get a scrap of credit.

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

go back to sleep you have no right to talk about the king like that Lubin will do as he is told

[robbyheartbaby]

Time for Tim to return and take his rightful place at the top of the division. Fundora can enjoy the belt he won on pot luck he won’t dare rematch Tim. The Aussie warrior shall rule again!
