I didn’t see a thread on this one. Anyway, this is a good step up for Lubin and a test. I think he should be favored to win but he better hard that chin...
Has Lubin Been Chinny Post-Charlo? This will be REED's 1st Time Seeing Him Fight Since Then... The Charlo KO was Legit, But the Shot Itself was Kinda Flukish...Caught Lubin Right on the Button, as he was Dipping...Never Saw it Coming.. REED
We'll see. I don't have the best of feelings about Lubin's punch resistance, but Gallimore doesn't have the greatest chin himself. Lubin is faster, and more skilled, and figures to get there first.
Yeah, Gallimore's Got a Pretty Good KO% if NATHAN Else... And He's a Sterner Test Than Terrell Gausha Would've Been...Gausha is Shit in REED's Opinion... REED
Totally agree. Gausha is a bum. I wasn't looking forward to that fight at all. At least with Gallimore it promises fireworks. Gallimore did manage to win a few rounds off of J-Rock, and J-Rock is a FAR better technician than Lubin. So he's a live dog.
This first fight on Showtime is fucking HORRIBLE! Easter-Granados is next. Hopefully Granados rids us of AB's faggot boyfriend.
Lubin looked pretty good. Gallimore probably would have been stopped if he had taken more chances, but he was content to pose and talk, while doing shit and eating shots. Let's see Lubin vs J-Rock, since Hurd wants no parts of a rematch.
I’d like to see Lubin vs the Harrison/Charlo winner. And the winner of that vs J-Rock. If Spence is all good and recovered from his accident(Since no serious injuries were reported), then I think he’s about at that point to move up to 154 lbs as well. I think he’s having a hard time making 147.
Spence would fuck Lubin up. Two different levels. Lubin has a bit more raw athleticism/handspeed than Spence, but that would be negated by the fact that Spence is better technically, has a much higher IQ, and has consistently proven to have a dependable chin. I'd rather see Spence vs J-Rock.
Based on Spence having a tough/close fight with Porter, your saying he's on a different level than Lubin is funny.
Right... because Lubin has beaten... Gallimore. Fact is, he still got blown away in 1 by a man whom Spence has bested in the gym for years.
Theres nada about Lubin that indicates he's anything special imo. As far as prospects go, I think Jaron Ennis looks far more talented than Lubin.
Lubin is obviously a good talent but that chin is made suspect. Jermell can punch a bit, but nowhere near like Jermall can punch. And while Gallimore can punch, he doesn’t have the IQ, offensive reflexes, or timing to set up sharp counters which what I think is the Achilles heel in Lubin’s defense. He’s in control when he’s able to hold his gloves up to catch punches but he does leave himself open when he throws his combinations. Either Spence or J-Rock would read that and exploit it.
