Question brehs....how did Matt Korobov go from being touted as the reason Sergey Kovalev left the Russian Olympic team, the next Eastern Euro superstar to fighting in 8 rounders as the co-main event of Erick De Leon on UniMas?

We've bounced back before. We can do it again.

Paschal Collins believes Andy Lee should take some time out and then make a move into the super middleweight ranks where he could enjoy success.

The Limerick boxer lost his WBO Middleweight belt to Billy Joe Saunders on Saturday night, and although a re-match could still be on the cards, Spike O'Sullivan's coach thinks other options should be considered.

"In my view, and I've said it before about Andy Lee, I believe he's getting a little bit older, his metabolism is slowing down. I think Andy Lee should take time out, move up to super middleweight," he said.

"If the re-match doesn't happen, I would actually, if I were him, move up a weight and it'll take less out of him when he's trying to make weight for fights. The super middleweight division at the moment is wide open."

I'm not opposed to this at all. Especially with SOG moving up to take over LHW.

Lee aint no 168er too slow

 

[patscorpio]

Yeah, I don't understand how it's for a Championship either....the whole point of the tourney was to CROWN a Champion, not make the very first fight of the tournament a Championship match

Yeah but you can tell with the Saunders fight and the Quillin fight that making 160lbs is taking the life outta him. He can compete with DeGale, Jack, and Abraham.

WBC said we haven't got fees on that belt in months...a tourney would take at least a year

Now they getting their fees in a week N throughout the "tourney" instead of after

That's what I thought about as well. Those fees (and WBC being all about the $$$) HAD to be the reasoning behind it.....and Swift got the money to pay it

Al Haymon would've never lost that purse bid


Ramirez is about to get robbed and have his 0 taken in the process

Erickson Lubin, a junior middleweight from Orlando, Florida, who is one of the premier blue-chip prospects in boxing, will headline a card for the first time.

The 20-year-old Lubin will take on Jose De Jesus Macias (18-4-2, 9 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round bout on Jan. 31 in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card (Bounce TV, 9 p.m. ET) at the Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee in Immokalee, Florida, PBC announced on Tuesday.

"I am excited and ready to shine in my first main event," Lubin said. "It means a lot to headline in my home state of Florida. The whole crowd will be on my side and they will expect a lot. I am going to have a big 2016. I am training hard, staying focused, and I want to make sure the whole world knows who Erickson Lubin is."

Lubin (13-0, 10 KOs) won all five of his fights in 2015 and was ranked seventh on ESPN.com's top 20 prospects list at the end of the year.

De Jesus Macias, 23, of Mexico, is looking to bounce back from a 10-round split decision loss in his last fight, in October, to Alejandro Barrera.

"I'm very happy to be part of this show and to be featured in the main event," De Jesus Macias said. "Training camp has been excellent and I will have to give 100 percent in the ring against Erickson Lubin. I will have to move a lot and get inside and have a tight defense so I don't get hit by one of Lubin's bombs."

In the eight-round co-feature, welterweight Alex De Jesus (21-1, 13 KOs), 32, a 2004 Puerto Rican Olympian who was out of the ring from 2010 to 2015 because of a prison term, will take Joseph Elegele (14-2, 10 KOs), 31, of Winter Haven, Florida.
