Weights: Lubin-Sandoval, Fonfara-Smith Jr. & Payano-Warren

fonfara100

(Photo credit: Nabeel Ahmad/Premier Boxing Champions) By Patrick McHugh: #2 WBC, #3 WBA, #4 WBO light heavyweight contender Andrzej Fonfara (28-3, 16 KOs) made weight on Friday in coming in at 174.5 pounds for his scheduled 12 round fight against prospect Joe Smith Jr. (21-1, 17 KOs) for their fight on Saturday night Premier Boxing Champions on NBC and NBCSN from the UIC Pavilion, in Chicago, Illinois.

Smith, 26, weighed in at 173lbs. This should be an interesting fight for while it lasts. Fonfara, 28, is seen as the far better fighter though, and this one figures to be a mismatch. Smith hasn’t been fighting quality opposition, and he was taken out in four rounds by a fighter named Eddie Caminero (6-3) in 2010. The Fonfara-Smith fight gives Fonfara a decent stay busy fight to keep him ready until he gets a title shot against one of the 175lb champions. It would be surprising if Smith is still aroun by the later rounds of the contest.

Erickson Lubin vs. Jose De Jesus Macias tonight on Bounce TV

lubin(Photo credit: Premier Boxing Champions) By Allan Fox: Unbeaten #14 WBC junior middleweight contender Erickson Lubin (13-0, 10 KOs) will be back in action tonight in a scheduled 10 round fight against 24-year-old Jose De Jesus Macias (18-4-2, 9 KOs) in a scheduled 10 round fight on Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce TV from the Seminole Casino, in Immokalee, Florida.

The 20-year-old Lubin was an outstanding amateur who decided to turn pro early rather than grind it out at that level. At 5’11”, Lubin has the frame to fight in the welterweight division, and would likely do better in that weight class right now.
