Poster Ortiz Jr. ‘Disrespect my brand’

Erickson Lubin says he feels overlooked in promoting his main battle against WBC’s temporary mid -mid -weight champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. On November 8 at Arena Dickies at Fort Worth, Texas. Both who are at the top on Dazn.

Lubin (27-2, 19 ko) still feels disrespectful for artwork because his promotional poster gets it in the dark. He says that Ortiz jr “not only in a higher position but also takes up more space,” making him look like “Some kind of moon hanging over me.”

Fuel for November 8

At the Kickoff press conference on September 23, 2025, Erickson showed his anger to the disrespect shown to him by ripping the poster in front of the media.

It is clear who is the A and B side for this promotion of looking at the poster. Ortiz name that comes first. That is another sign that he is the important one in this promotion.

“With the entire promotion and the whole poster,” Erickson Lubin told Golden boy boxing For feeling that he is being ignored by fans for his fight against Vergil Ortiz Jr. on November 8th.

“That firing my fire. I’ve been one of the best since the amateurs. With people overlooking me, it brings that fire back in me,” said Lubin.

Erickson will have to hold together under the pressure, and the constant pellet he is going to be supportive against Ortiz Jr. If he stands and fights as he did against Sebastian Fundora in his ninth -round stop loss on April 9, 2022, it’s going to be difficult for him to cope with the speed.

On the other hand, if Erickson moves as he did against Jesus Ramos Jr. In 2023, there is no guarantee that the judges will give him the decision.

“I didn’t get fighting against Crawford or Spence,” said Vergil Jr.

Ortiz’s weight war was nearly broken

It is not the fault of Terence Crawford and Errol Spence altogether for not fighting Ortiz Jr. He was already having problems with pressure to the 147-weight section, asking for hospitals because of the stress put on his body.

Vergil Jr. is a classic example of what can happen to a fighter if they compete outside a weight class that is well below their frame. Ortiz JR should have been fighting at 154 three years ago in 2022. Back then, Crawford and Spence were still 147, and they didn’t fight against each other.

“I don’t think he’s overlooking me. He knows where I’m from,” Lubin said about Ortiz Jr.

Madrimov and Bohachuk took pieces

Social media fans, Oddsmakers and the media may count Erickson out, but Ortiz Jr. assumes the victory in the bag. It takes it seriously as a threat. He has to do after the recent back -to -back contaminates against Israil Madrimov and Serhii Bohachuk.

We do not yet know how many battles it took from Vergil Jr. Although three years younger than Lubin, 30, we do not know how much he has left.

Vergil was worked over by Madrimov and Bohachuk in the first eight rounds in those two fights. He was on deck twice against Bohachuk, and the stuffing was beaten out of him by Madrimov until he was late hands.

Lubin has bounced from his ninth Rinth Stop Loss to Sebastian Fundora from 2022 to win his last three fights against Luis Arias, Jesus Ramos Jr. and Ardreal Holmes Jr.
