Comments Thread For: Lubin's Coach: Erickson Would Love To Retire Trout Next!

[Eff Pandas]

If you thought Gausha won clearly, why call out Trout? WEAK! Cunnigham should be calling out Lara! He already beat both Trout and Gausha! Lara should be the target, and Florida show be the host! MAN UP!

Lol, but yea this.

Gausha won. Why we talking about Trout? Granted he's the bigger name so I guess I get it from that angle, but anyone who saw the fight would likely rather see Lubin vs Gausha.

If you hadn't called Lara's name, no one would've thought of him! Does the guy even still fight?! Lubin is calling out the former champ that just fought, whose name is on the public's conscience right now. Smart move!

Lara still fight???!!! He just fought 2 months ago in a great fight! Trout is done, stick a fork in him!

[richardt]

That's fine, he doesn't need to go straight to the top yet. He will get his title shot sometime next year in all likelihood looking at the WBC rankings.

So when did Gausha turn into this great fighter? You're acting like he is levels above Trout or something. Don't even compare Lara to Gausha as that's totally different levels....And we say it when those two fought each other.

And reading that article, that quote came from Cunningham. Lubin as far as I can tell wasn't even in the building when he said that. Cunningham said Lubin would love to send Trout in retirement since Gausha couldn't. To me that means they expected Trout to win this fight and he had that quote ready for if he got interviewed afterwards. I wouldn't make too much of that quote.

Gausha a great fighter? WHO said that? Gausha just clearly beat Trout so Lubin wanting Trout is pathetic. I didnt compare Lara to Gausha, I said both hold wins over the washed up Trout. His trainer didnt have any quote ready, there is nothing fancy about saying Lubin would retire Trout - it was after the fight entirely that his trainer spoke for Lubin: "“I thought Gausha won clearly. Gausha landed clean right hands all night and out-boxed Trout at times. I gave Trout a few close rounds but no way a draw,” Cunningham told BoxingScene.com. “We are not looking past Attou on June 29th but after that Lubin would love to send Trout into retirement since Gausha couldn’t do it!”. So what part about having a quote ready does the article support?? What Cunningham said was clearly in the moment.

Not to mention Trout is 33 and hasn't beat real opponent since he beat Cotto in 2012! Al Haymon must see what I see! Lubin vs. Lara! Haiti vs. Cuba! Young vs. Old! Florida! Thick, beautiful, assorted chocolates with accents everywhere! Maybe it's just me?

What happen to the fight with Castano?

Why mention Trout there even after disputed draw? Trout was the favorite going in this fight and most thought he would win. And why would he say "Lubin would love to send Trout into retirement" when Lubin wasn't there at the fight? Clearly they were expecting Trout to win and he was their target.

But anyways, let's get past that. On to Gausha. Make that fight happen with Lubin as well. Another guy that will make Lubin at least think and someone that looks to be durable. So I'm good with this fight as well.

Dude, it was obvious his trainer was speaking about Trout IN THE MOMENT after the fight and could have spoken to Lubin via something we have called cell phones and it has been 2 days which means Lubin could have called out Gausha or Lara. That means unless he re-targets his interest away from Trout, then that is still his target and he is aiming low. He needs to do the right thing next week and declare that he is no longer interested in the washed up Trout and then I and other boxing fans will respect him. No Trout - yes to Castano, Gausha, and Lara.

Lol come on, you really think Lubin texted Cunningham after the fight telling him to say that about Trout?

Anyways, let's get move on from that. Just going in a circle now.

LIS, in reality he probably gets Garcia next for the WBC mandatory over facing Trout or Gausha.

[5000boxing]

I disagree! Lara should be the target! Lara beat Gausha already! Haitian vs. Cuban! Tailor made for Florida! Make It Happen!

I'm down.. I live in Florida!

[WhatDisButtonDo]

I don't want to see Trout anymore. He's going to go in there, trying not to lose, win a few rounds..and complain he was robbed just because he wasnt knocked out
