Charlo vs. Lubin- I figured it would end like....

Yup. He was clearly a semi-amateur boxer who just happens to be a great athletic specimen, who was hyped up into quality fights at an early onset without knowing the full game of the professional league. Boxing has tonnes of those guys who look the part and who had decent amatuer boxing careers- between 30 and 60 fights, and look the part but clearly have not developed into the sport long enough.

Say what you want about the CharloeBullshitters, they grew up in the sport and have a mentality for the game. They just need to fight GGG, or even Danny Jacobs for Christ's sake.

Perhaps you should look at your other thread about Charlo and look up GGGs trainer saying they wouldn’t fight Charlo, even if forced they would make him wait as long as possible before you blame Charlo for that one not happening.

It is seriously f’d up people let their fandom decide things to the extent one guy can want the fight and another can openly say they don’t and the guy that wants the fight gets blamed. Sometimes you have to put your fandom aside and look at the evidence.

You are being unfair to Lubin. I’m not at all saying it was a lucky punch because it was set up, but it so happened to land in the perfect spot. I think that Lubin will come back from this and have success. He is still young and got thrown in there with IMO the best 154 pounder in the world. I think that he could have beaten Hurd potentially.

Lubin was waiting to get ko'd that fight. I knew it would have ended like that. He simply was not ready for that level of competition. He should have waited and took fights until people asked for it to happen, and then he may have been seasoned. Now, he may have damaged his confidence in taking a fight like that KNOWING FULL WELL- his trainers, and promoters, that is- that he simply just was not ready for a showdown at even a Charlo level.

We won't know until Lubin is in the ring again. In almost any fight, people make huge mistakes here and there that they don't pay for, that's part of the sport. If these two could somehow fight 10 times in the same form as they did, I highly doubt a first round KO would occur more than once. To me, Lubin looked pretty capable and poised right until he got caught. Of course sometimes losses like that damage a guy irreparably, or maybe it showed us something he won't be able to iron out, but(as usual) you are being a dumbass, Damaja.

LOL! He was not ready. I was watching Lubin, he simply was not ready. His level of competition was easy to cut through. We have them in boxing from time to time, guys who get up there but clearly there is a difference between them and the top 5. He was not at top 5 level, and may not even be top 10. I hate to see that happen like that BECAUSE I remember guys like David Reid, who really did not need to take the Trinidad fight when he did. He just did not need to at that time.
