Uncle Al bringing us the business this autumn, this is a fine card (- exceptional in fact for those who believe boxing begins and ends in the US) and with Dirrell vs Benavidez and (maybe) Wilder - Ortiz the yanks will have something to keep 'em happy while the Euro-heavy WBSS is going on.
Lublin is a top three SWW and with more experience could take out both Andrade and Lara. He should put Charlo wind up azz to sleep. Charlo telegraphs and Lublin has a wicked overhand right.
Big fan of Lubin and think he has enormous potential. Fantastic precision offense. That being said, I'm wondering if this is too much for him too early in his career. I would have loved to see him fight someone who challenged him or gave him some type of adversity in a fight. Every fight I've seen him in he pretty much dominated without having to be tested mentally or physically. Hope he wins this one.
Also big fan of Hurd; could see Trout giving him some trouble and outboxing him for good portions of the fight. Swift walked down and broke Harrison with his pressure but Trout is much more savvy and mentally resilient. Should be an interesting test for Hurd.
Heart wants Lubin and Hurd victories, mind tells me Charlotte and Hurd. Definitely looking forward to this card, some incredibly compelling fights here.
BoxingScene.com has learned that the Jermell Charlo-Erickson Lubin super welterweight title fight likely will be scheduled for September 30. Charlo's second defense of the WBC 154-pound championship against the unbeaten Lubin, his mandatory challenger, is expected to be packaged for television with another 154-pound title bout between IBF champion Jarrett Hurd and Austin Trout. A site for those fights hasn't been determined, but both bouts probably will be televised by Showtime as part of at least a doubleheader, perhaps a tripleheader. [Click Here To Read More]
