I guess this song was wrong...

I don't see Lubin beating Ortiz , but good on him for getting a big bag. At the end of the day that's what matters the most. Jonas is right , losing to Ortiz won't be the end of Lubin as a fighter. You win some you lose some and Ortiz is a top fighter, there's no shame in losing that fight for Lubin or anyone else.

I favor Ortiz as well, but Lubin has a real shot.

I agree with Oscar about the IBF 10 lb rehydration clause. It's not ideal for many fighters, probably especially those who've dealt with rhabdomyolysis.

And Jonas is right, too, for choosing this fight over Murtazaliev. They're prizefighters after all. His reasoning is sound.

Wonder how Ortiz nuthuggers will cope with this.

Obviously Lubin will be fighting the 3 judges as well, so he should be looking to score a KO

I suppose this is a decent scrap for two fighters with one being overrated (Ortiz) and the other a never was.

Lubin looks sub-human and Ortiz looks like he can be deported at any second.

If Ortiz overated, Fundora got wreck by Mendoza, who Mendoza lost to Bohachuk, and Bohachuk lost to Ortiz.

Murtazaliev who beat a guy who lost to Fundora and then got wrecked in the rematch, Tim Tszyu.
