    I think Fundora ended Lubin's prime. He's not a live underdog against Tim - just a desperate one. And stopping a fighter that Charlo already stopped in the 1st round won't exert any extra pressure to get a fight made with Jermell.

    Not a good fight on paper. Maybe the best thing Tim could do for his career would be to have an off night and make a meal out of poor Lubin.

    Another US fighter being sacrificed to Tszyu while the Houston Hare continues to run and hide.

    The fight won't happen with Charlo anyway. What more could Tim do? He was set to fight him twice. He pulled out twice and has now forfeited his titles so he doesn't lose to Tszyu.

    Charlo's a coward. He had an excuse losing to Canelo and got a great pay day while he was at it. He's plain old scared of Tim. As for Tim fighting Lubin, I have no interest. Tszyu would kill him and win by K.O. But not many others have the balls to fight him. So he doesn't have much choice.

    Yes. Honestly, the best chance of a really good pay day for Tim in the next 12 months would be against Conor Benn after Conor gets another couple fights. The other A-listers like Ennis, Ortiz Jr (assuming Ortiz Jr even fights again), Crawford have too many other easy ways to make money than fighting Tim.

    Decent fight I must say, but it would have been a better fight with Ramos who imo beat Lubin.

    Can't really call Tszyu v. Lubin decent.

    Ramos would be a stronger opponent than Lubin. I think Ramos was guilty of coasting that last couple of rounds, though. Still should have gotten the decision, IMO.

    That is only half-true. Or more precisely - 33.3% true. Charlo was only stripped of the WBO belt. He still holds the WBA belt and for all intents and purposes holds the WBC one, too. Stripping him of those could be a matter for the courts.

    Tim keeping active, waiting for the chicken to man up and fight him. He doesn’t have many options.

    Okay, seems like Charlo is the opponent, and not Lubin.

    A Big Doodle setting foot in the same boxing ring as a Tszyu? Well, I never.

    I'll believe they'll be fighting when they're actually in the ring.


    That means never.
