    • It’s a smart move. I’m sure cooler heads prevailed in his camp and talked him out of jumping straight in with Ortiz a couple months after his loss. He should beat Lubin and step right into a title fight with either Fundora or Spence.

  • Tszyu should be with a better promoter and a better team. He was sacrificed against Fundora; soon the cut happened, fight shouldn’t have continued

    • Tszyu was expected to win based off the Mendoza fight. Def wasn’t a sacrifice. The push was behind Tszyu. He’s just not able to bang out the bigger guys in the division. Will need to move his head a bit more. Lubin is more undersized and will likely be the type of guys he needs as far as the ability to walk down his opponent.

      • NJ ,,,he got hit with a “accidental” elbow that split his head open. He went the full 12 rounds with one eye.
        You reckon he struggles against top opposition?
        He’s beaten everyone thrown at him except the elbow
        Return bout ,he beat the fellow and his elbow

    • No Limit are Greedy fat promoters
      His old man made sure the fight with Ortiz was postponed. Had nothing to do with doctors.Once his contract is finished with No limit. He will promote himself.

  • I’m just glad to see Tszyu back in the mix. I’m sure he learned from his previous fight. Hopefully he got rid of the cut-man from the Fundora fight and got someone more experienced. 154 is turning into a deep divison. You have Crawford, Vergil Ortiz, Fundora and Errol Spence who is supposedly fighting Fundora in October. So many possibilities. Ortiz stated he was unset Crawford got the title shot. Assuming Crawford wins the title, step up and challenge him. I’m sure that fight can be made. Of course if Spence gets a title, naturally Crawford will target him as he’s seeking 3 division undisputed.

    • I see Charles Conwell’s name is not on your list. He would be a nightmare for anyone at 154.

      • Conwell is too good for his own good.
        He might want to consider moving up to 160. I doubt if anyone at 154 wants to
        fight him. Modern day Charley Burley
        syndrome. They tend to avoid him.

  • My issue with Conwell is that he’s just not busy enough, as we know you (Nordic) praise him constantly (which is a little weird, but I digress). Nonetheless, he’s a good fighter, but nothing stands out about him to me. I wish you and him all the best.

    • Just in case you’re wondering, DMV, Conwell & I are friends, so of course I’m always gonna put the good word in for him. But honestly, although I’m friends with a lot of decent pros, I’ll only truly promote the guys whom I think will make it to the top.

    • Ya zoo is a one hit wonder this fight he’s gonna get hit so hard he gonna wonda what happened a one and done and then it’s back to the zoo with you Timmy boy

  • Tsyu knocks out Lubin. Lubin still has some bad habits that will be exploited when Tim fires rights at an angle
