Both Murtz and Zayas have no opponents lined up, let’s see that fight happen! Not that it will, seeing how Top Rank is cushioning the Boricua, but for once I would like to be nicely surprised by the boxing gods in the 2020s.<\/p>\n

Hey, that means Zayas is free to fight Murtazaliev in Puerto Rico!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s get it on.<\/p>\n

It seems like everyone is avoiding the bogeyman of boxing Bakhram Murtazaliev nowadays and he is an IBF titleholder too.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s more likely than not that Lubin\u2019s handlers feel more comfortable and safe by putting their charge in the ring with Vergil Ortiz rather than Murtazaliev and I can\u2019t say I blame them.\n<\/p>\n

Is that a joke? This \u201cgenerational talent\u201d is gonna bypass a title fight that would directly lead to Vergil Ortiz who him and his team claim he wants to fight? Bummers gon bum lol<\/p>\n

If Ortiz is overworked a long vacation is better than devaluing his brand. Murtz is High risk low reward. Lubin might not be less risk for even less reward. Murtz makes more sense for the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"lilacpWed Aug 20, 2025, 2:31 AM UTC Both Murtz and Zayas have no opponents lined up, let’s see…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358544,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[98182,1935,4496,4495,41954,126165,79,16,15,34014],"class_list":{"0":"post-358543","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-bakhram-murtazaliev","9":"tag-boxing","10":"tag-boxing-news","11":"tag-boxingscene","12":"tag-erickson-lubin","13":"tag-ibf-mandatory","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-vergil-ortiz"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115059244728591853","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
