Comments Thread For: Erickson Lubin - PBC's Rising Star of the Year

[The Viper]

This is complete and utter bull**** by the way. Justin DeLoach beat 3 UNDEFEATED fighters this year including an Olympian. How he isn't the rising star I don't freaking know.

I won't argue that......btw who the hell is that in your avatar man she FINE!!!!!!

[SkillspayBills]

Exactly. DeLoach has paid his dues fighting guys who were favored against him. THAT is what I call a true rising prospect. Lubin hasn't fought anyone who was a serious threat to beat him.

He is one of my favorite young prospects and if you see an interview from him he is hungggryyyy. As a matter of fact he has called out Lubin multiple times.

Random ***** number 800 lol

Yordenis Ugas refocused himself and was WAY more successful as a prospect with 17 wins, than Lubin was. He fought not one but two unbeaten guys who were expected to beat him and he won both, Bryant Perella and Jamal James.

Lubin was the brightest prospect for the 2016 Olympics but Mike Tyson signed him at 17 after he beat the Olympic Bronze Medalist, Yasnier Toledo.
He started fast and good but looked kinda week during some time but it seems that he started to concentrate more and is putting some awesome performances, with that said, it's clear that he can beat the level of talent that he is facing, he should step up.

Cota is not a name. We will see if he fights a name or the usual setups. I'm going with usual setups. It's probably best because he'll get eaten alive against the sharks of the division. Put him in against Jarret Hurd and see if he can handle an equal and then the winner can be a top contender.

Never called Cota a "name"; simply pointing out that Cota can fight. If Lubin can blast out Coto, it'll show that he's well on his way.

Jarrett Hurd has the look of a guy with the style/skill to be a problem for anyone and everyone at 154; no need to rush anything, especially knowing that the fight isn't going to vanish for either guy anytime soon.

At 21 I think he has time on his side.
No reason to rush him.
He fights in a very deep division and that is going to be his undoing in the end.
Personally, from what I have seen I am not sold on him. Nothing special to write home about.
I hope I am wrong.
