Look at Lubin, he's huge - that's a MW or even a SMW before his career is done

Seems Lubin got fat.
Don't know if he could shed that extra pounds with only few weeks left.
The hunger is not there.
That's what inactivity does to fighters.
He fought 7 times in 2014, 5x in 2015, 4x in 2016.
His last fight this year was in March.
Did he get infected or what?
This is turning to be a mismatch.

You said he got fat, so the hunger is obviously there lol. But for real thats for him to stay in shape. Charlo looks ready to go now.

... Lubin is 21 yo only and doesn't look like a superwelterweight anymore...

[Mammoth]

Lubin used to look like a big welterweight

On the surface, it looks like a terrible mistake on the part of Lubin's management. From his last opponent to Charlo, that's too big of a leap in competition for this 21 yo.

You're supposed to season him with some gatekeeper types until he's ready. They're putting right in there with a KILLER .

This brother is slightly less mean than his brother, maybe that's what they're banking on ? But they want to find out now what they got in the kid.
