The 21 y/o Lubin, now 17(12)-0-0 is once again fighting another solid B level type fringe contender in Jorge Cota. This kid just keeps fighting solid competition, though not world level, but is gaining experience the right way, and showing future prospects/contenders how to work himself into a title shot where he'll be prepared for whatever might come his way.
Since your name is Chi town fight fan, did you see him in June when he was fighting at UIC Pavilion ? Had a chance to meet dude, very humble, soft spoken but confident. Him and his brother are good people.
Nah, Im living in KY, but Ive become freinds with many fighters from the ol days in Chi......David Estrada, JLC, and when I was living in Cleveland I got close with Pavlik and Lowe, and thru Lowe, Russell Peltz, and then Jennings, Chambers, USS, and Daniel Martz is kin to me....2nd cousins.
Man that's tight as hell. You really missed out man, I was basically front row ringside behind press (that's where I met Golota--*******), and seeing dude up close like that was crazy. His frame is nowhere near filled out yet, and he's so damn fast! Sucks you missed that and Beterbiev in 2015 as well dude.
IKR.....But I did catch Holyfield when he fought out Charleston WV, and my dude Mike Sheppard is always promising to bring a solid card to Lexington Ky with a Karpency boy, himself, and he'll try to get Danny in there too. As for Erickson.....damn straight he's not filled out. Ppl talking like he's a WW. He's destroying these gatekeeper, fringe types and only weighing like 160 on the night. When he gets a S&C coach, I gotta feeling the LMW and MW divisions gonna get put on NOTICE
I know someone in Lubins camp, you can hit me in the PM if you'd like. But yea he's 154 and growing (I have a picture with him, I'm 5'11.5" 205) and he's nowhere close to filled out. TBF when I saw him he fought Sandoval? I think who was 38-2. Has never fought a fighter with a losing record, PBC is bringing him along right. The one thing I see is, he doesn't always turn his hand over, when he gets that perfected, I don't see anyone stopping him. I think he'd destroy Jarret Hurd.
