Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu-Erickson Lubin purse bids cancelled

[Corelone]

My thing is this. We know Tim is a home town hero. He pulls rabbits out of a hat at home. The two times he got out of Dodge, he squeaks past Gaushe and loses to the Tower. If anything Tim needs to work on his road game. Do a lesser light, but not in his kitchen.

it's about business. Lubin isn't as big of a draw in his backyard as Tszyu is. Aside from 1 round where Tim got dropped in more of a flash knockdown scenario, Gausha did not do well and despite the loss against Fundora, he showed he made it close with one of the worst cuts in recent memory. Had Tim wanted to be a ***** he could've had the fight stopped from the cut and retained his belt but he showed he had guts in a bad circumstance just for Fundora to pvssy out for a rematch.

Yeah, because Tszyu supposedly wasn’t going to be ready by August. But he is by September?

These fools don’t want to call out Tszyu full and blatant duck

[ShoulderRoll]

He ducked Ortiz , AFTER making the fight.....sure , and the earth is flat too.

He isn’t fighting Ortiz, is he?

Team Erickson is ducking Tim Tszyu now? I wonder who they would like to fight next? Is it Bud Crawford, Errol Spence, Jr or a rematch with Sebastian Fundora?. In any case, Lublin is a good fighter with great potential but he must work on his conditioning and defense in order to become a complete fighter.

[champion4ever]

Completely agree. i think a fit Tszyu beats everyone at 154 not called Crawford. He would’ve flattened Fundora had it not been for the cut.

Crawford isn’t going to 168 for Canelo unless the Saudis front an astronomical amount of money. The best fight that can be made at 154 is Crawford Tszyu once they’ve beaten everyone else between them. Hardest obstacle probably Ortiz but even the. expect both to beat him Spence is done and just on a money grab, his career at top level is done as we’ll see in the Fundora fight.

It’s interesting you say that because I have Vergil Ortiz defeating the face first brawling Tim Tszyu.

Tim is every slugger’s dream. Ortiz is a lot stronger and tougher than Tszyu.

He has a much better chin and hits even harder too. Moreover, Tszyu has tasted the canvas before.

Where as Vergil Ortiz has not. In addition, Tim has been dropped but so far in his career Vergil Ortiz has not.

Let's wait to see how Vergil performs vs. Bohachuk before making bold proclamations.

For my part, there's this guy named Jermell Charlo who claims to want back in the mix, and Tszyu in Australia would be a nice bag for him too. He doesn't have a fight scheduled either... Another guy with a name would be Xander Zayas.

I doubt either of those guys would risk a belt-less Tszyu, but those would be fun.

It's looking less and less like we will ever see Jermell or Jermall back in a boxing ring. Hopefully they'll stay out of trouble too. Uncle Bob isn't going to risk Xander against Tszyu. Belt or no belt.

No , Ortiz has a different fight scheduled. They can revisit it or not after , but the point is that the contracts were signed and the Doctors told Tszyu that he couldn't spar yet. Why you want to try to make it sound like Tszyu pussied out , doesn't make sense. If you just don't like the guy , say that. Seven weeks is a long time when it comes to healing a cut. There's a huge difference in cut flesh in a seven week time period. I cut my leg with a chainsaw , on the outside of my quadriceps, a deep cut in the muscle. . About a month later, I figured that I'd train legs again. It was driving me nuts not to be able to work legs . I ended up ripping my leg open and bleeding all over the place. If I had waited seven more weeks it wouldn't have happened.

He could have fought Vergil Ortiz in August but is fighting someone easier a month later instead. It looks suspicious, and a doctor’s excuse is a way to get out of a fight that might derail your momentum.
