Bread’s Response: Erickson Lubin is a GUN. He lost his 1st big fight bad. He didn’t even get a chance to warm up. But I’ve never bought into the theory it was too soon. We don’t know because he got clipped so early he didn't get a chance to show his talents. He was days away from being 22 years old. There have been plenty of fighters ready at 22. Just because he lost doesn’t mean he wasn’t ready. Maybe Charlo is a great fighter that he could have never beaten. Maybe he got caught early. Who knows? Nevertheless Lubin has responded like a winner. Taking tough fights and openly seeking out the dude that kod him in Charlo. That’s a gun.

I don’t know who will win the Lubin vs Fundora match up. But if I was forced to pick I would pick Lubin. Speed is a big deal to me and Fundora is just much slower. Unless Fundora has iron will and an iron chin, which he may have but I don’t know it yet, he’s going to be big target for the sharp shooting Lubin. This fight will either look like Margarito vs Cotto or Margarito vs Mosley with Fundora being Margarito.

As far as how I would train Lubin. He has a great corner in Kevin Cunningham and Jason Galarza. I think they got it figured out. I saw they hired taller, southpaw sparring partners…..they know what they’re doing. Lubin’s months of practice and instincts will take over as the fight goes on. I think this is going to be a SHOOTOUT.This fight comes down to who can take who’s punches better. That’s the puncher in a fight. If Lubin can hurt Fundora or slow him down enough to outbox him he wins. If he can’t and Fundora walks and presses him with brutal determination and he doesn’t accept Lubin’s power, Fundora will win. I lean Lubin.

So you weren’t gonna watch this? I wouldn’t be surprised at all if these 3 fights are more entertaining & competitive than the DAZN main card.

total bs DAZN is charging PPV in some places

10pm start. They probably won't be in the ring until 11:30. Cali fans have all the luck.
