Erickson Lubin offered predictions for both Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder and Errol Spence Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao.
Lubin was on the DAZN Boxing Show ahead of his June 26 clash with Jeison Rosario, and he was asked his opinion on the two confirmed fights, the two biggest of the year so far.
Fury and Wilder will meet for a third time, this July, after the Bronze Bomber won his arbitration claim. He found it hard to separate the pair but think Wilder has put the hours in the gym to give himself a better chance after a disappointing showing in the first rematch.
“I'm excited because you know, I see I see the progress Wilder has made and what he's done with his game, but it's still a 50-50 fight for me, he said.
“A lot of people's picking Fury to beat him because Fury is a better boxer and got more technique than he does. But I feel like while they're here, he has a chip on his shoulder and you never know those type of people.”
He then gave Spence only a slight edge over the Filipino legend Pacquaio.
“I'm expecting the youngest Spence to go in and do his thing, but you can never count out Pacquiao. Also another 50-50 fight for me,” he suggested.
“Pacquiao just don't age man, just you never know what you're gonna get out, and he's like a monk.”
