Comments Thread For: Bakhram Murtazaliev vs. Erickson Lubin in works for early fall, promoter says

[SteveM]

seems like Duva should have had better communication with the IBF - mishandling the possible dates - why fight Kelly? Not like he's a big star even in the UK

There is a good chance that nothing happens (again). Lubin was linked to Murtazaliev in talks a few months back and then they switched to Kelly. Now they are back talking about Lubin again. Lubin was offered to face Tim Tzsyu twice and rejected both offers. I assume Tim's team could offer more money than what is on the table now. So I would say, on the balance of probabilities Lubin prices himself out - again.

Possibly. But Tszyu is fighting Fundora and that would leave Lubin out of any meaningful fight if he passes Murt

Used to be a big Lubin fan even after the Charlo KO. He has shown that he has an unreliable chin and had a gift decision. He will win here and there because he does have skills.
