Ortiz has been the interim champion for more than a year but has yet to challenge for the full title. He is a threat to champions like Fundora and Zayas, so they have chosen to avoid him. Lubin is the best available fighter he could have faced. I believe the fight will be competitive, but Ortiz is on a different level and should come out the winner. After that, he might fight Boots Ennis, and regardless of who the champions are, this will determine who is #1 in the division.

It will be important for Ortiz to keep his eyes locked in on this fight resisting the temptation to look ahead. Many are seeing this as a springboard for the Ortiz - Boots fight which promises to be way more exciting, but he has to get past Lubin to get to that fight. I read that Boots will be ringside which makes it harder to focus, but big fighters train all the time for this. I expect Ortiz to win this one.

If the fight with Boots happens, I am going Boots.

This is a good match, I'll go with Ortiz with this one. 23-0 with 21 knocked out, is a good stats though his last 2 matches he wasn't able to win via KO or TKO, but with his consistent pressure and strong punches he might be able to get a KO this time, considering Erikson's defense were not consistent in his previous matches. Ortiz itself is aware that Erickson Lubin do also have power and experience which might turn the match. I'm looking forward in this match and I'll be placing a bet that Ortiz will win via KO/TKO. Do you agree with me?

I’m not really familiar with these boxers, but based on their records, I’d go with Vergil Ortiz Jr. to win this one. He’s underrated - 21 KOs out of 23 wins says a lot, looks like a solid KO artist. Lubin also has power, but he’s already been beaten twice. Personally, when I bet on fights, I tend to trust the undefeated ones more as they don’t know how to lose yet.

Ortiz Jr. looks sharper and has the power edge, but Lubin’s defense and counter game could stretch it to later rounds. If Ortiz can pressure early without gassing, it’s his fight to lose. Might be worth looking at the under 8.5 rounds or Ortiz by TKO for value.

Do you think Lubin’s chin holds up this time around?
