    Is Lubin vs Charlo the new Trinidad vs Reid?

    Any old school heads remember that fight?

    Some thought Reid was ready, some thought he wasn't

    I'm favoring Lubin, but it's close

      Rooting for Lubin as he is the underdog.
      But this is a tougher fight for him than Charlo.
      I have no doubt Charlo wins this fight.
      Hope I'm wrong though.
      To me, this is the better, more aggressive Charlo.
      Not the other one, like most people believe.

              Dont know all the circumstances around the fight, but is the fight really compareable?

              Reid was a decorated amateur, gold medaillist and champ at 154, Trinidad was a seasoned pro, had over a dozen championship fights and was a knockout artist.

              Jermell and Lubin are both relatively untested, Lubin more so. Jermell has decent wins against fringe contenders in Martirosyan, Jackson and Rosado. Lubin doesnt have a decent win yet.
              The fight is a little bit premature for Lubin, but Charlo himself isnt very seasoned, it's not like Lubin faces off against Lara, GGG or Canelo.

                Trinidad vs. Reid was a different ball game. Lubin is just a prospect and Charlo a titleholder. It's a solid fight, nothing more.

                  Let's just hope this turn out to be competitive.
                  Although I've mentioned Charlo winning this fight on a landslide.
                  This sport needs new faces and stars so fans don't have to rely on seeing the same names every day.
