    I expect Hurd, and Lara to win. Lubin-Charlo is the beat fight on the card cause it's the hardest to predict.

    I'm just happy we have a Showtime card tonight and not an ESPN card. No worry of some gay ass baseball game inturupting the fights.

    I'm only really interested in the Charlo-Lubin fight.

    I'm expecting a late KO for Lubin in an action packed fight.

    I disagree. I suspect that Lubin is the best fighter at 154 already.

    Lubin Has Yet to Face an Austin Trout Level Fighter...NOfuckingWAY is he Already the Best @ '54...

    As REED Types, he's Leaning Towards Charlo, by Decision...Not Sure if it'll Be Split or Unanimous Though...Lubin LOOKS More Dynamic, Appears to Be the Better AFFlete and For Sure Punches Harder, but Charlo is Pretty Sound, Technically...

    Charlo's Not "Special", but he's Not "Easy" Either, Which Lubin Expects him to Be...

    And Even if Lubin Wins, There's Still Lara and Andrade to Contend w/...

    REED Thinks Trout Will Give Hurd a TOUGHER than Expected Time, w/Hurd Winning an Unpopular Decision...Lara Beats Gausha and REED's Got Charlo by Decision...The Loooooooooonger the Fight Goes, the BETTER for Charlo...

    Expect trout/hurd to be the least competitive, with hurd winning.

    Is Hurd looking for a one-punch KO because he keeps walking into Trout punches

    Seems like i was wrong about this fight. Trout's giving hurd a lot of trouble. Think his stance and turning is a problem.

    Paulie made the point and i think he is right: Hurd's footwork is shit.

    Hurd fights with his chin in the air. Doesn't matter against trout i guess.

    All this fight proved is that Hurd can beat up midgets

    He stopped trout. A lot of other good fighters could not do so.

    Hurd is a big tough kid who is still learning how to use his advantages

    Yeah. His offense is i'd say is already well developed. He puts punches together well. Changes speed. Accurate. His foot work is his weakest area i think.

    Lubin seems like he has power but that's about it. I've seen him a couple times and he seems pretty available...leaves his chin hanging in the air. I think Charlo does him in late.

    Lubin early but Charlo if it goes more than 6.

    Lubin has looked very vulnerable in some fights I've seen. He is young so maybe he's gotten more serious and improved. I'm skeptical and think charlo wins

    On paper anyway this is a great matchup. A kind we rarely see.
