Erickson Lubin got the mandatory place to challenge Bakhram Muratazalev for his middle weight title IBF Junior in removing Arreal Holmes Jr. In the eleventh round of a title eliminator last Saturday night at the Silver Spurs Arena de Kissimmee, Florida.
After the fight, Lubin (27-2, 19 kos) called Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 kos), telling him to “stop hiding” and gave him a deadline until May 18. Bakhram was waiting for something better than Lubin after removing the 154 -pound champion of Wbo, Tim Tszyu, in the third round of October 19 last year. However, this action and the rehydration rule of 10 pounds of the IBF scared the best contenders of the division and other champions. Lubin is the best Murtazaliev, because he at least wants to fight him.
“It’s a title title below. I am struggling with the title of IBF. Bakhram, stop hiding -you have achieved until May 18. Post-Lluit Interview After stopping Holmes Jr.
In other interviews, Lubin has suggested that he goes to Murtazaliev and will show him another side of his game. We saw some of this in his fight against Jesus Ramos.
Boxing enthusiasts on social media do not offer Lubin many possibilities to beat Murtazaliev because he folded in the past to fight the great punches. Jermell Charlo and Sebastian Fundora detained him. Since her loss in Fundora, she has not fought anyone almost so good.
Lubin did not look so big against Holmes Jr. He was very collapsed in the fight and was fortunate that his opponent was not a great punch. Lubin’s two eyes were badly swollen at the end of the struggle, and you could say he really had to press to get victory.
Undoubtedly, Lubin has lost two of his last four fights, as his unanimous decision of the twelve rounds on Jesus Ramos in September 2023 was a questionable question that could have gone in the other way. If the judges had loved it, Lubin’s record would be 2-2 in a clash against Murtazaliev.
