Comments Thread For: Trainer: Erickson Lubin is Ready For All Top Fighters at 154

Yep, that would be a great fight. But I think Castano is lining up for a WBA mandatory. Either way, both him and Lubin aren't getting a title shot next since the winner of Charlo/Harrison II likely fights JRock on June of 2020. That was the original plan before Hurd turned down the JRock rematch but I don't see why that plan would change.

yes, i agree. i don't think either guy is getting a title shot next.

Yea he showed the great skills we knew he had, but also showed a decent chin vs a guy who can punch. Your right he did show some serious mental strength and did not look at all like he was gun shy. That being said its too early to say its "second to none" imo.

I wouldnt say second to none, but clearly at the elite level of the top 154 pounders. I can see him winning a title against some of the top guys.

Oh I can also see him winning a title also. His skills are for real, and so is his mental strength. More then most think imo a 1st rd KOs between two top fighters can be a bit of a fluke sometimes. If its a "seek and destroy" type fighter like Tyson in his prime its different. Anyways I'm hoping this kid can fulfill all the goals people had for him when he turned over because boxing needs all the stars it can get.
