In a collision of experience and youthful energy, Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin is set to face off against the unbeaten Jesus Ramos. This twelve-round co-main event, scheduled for September 30th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, is one of the highlights of the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo card. Lubin, with a burning desire to reverse his fortunes following a loss to Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora, sees this bout as a pathway to a much-coveted title shot.
Lubin’s strategy hinges on the uncanny parallels between this upcoming fight and a bout from his past. Six years ago, a then younger Lubin challenged the 27-year-old Jermell Charlo, falling short of victory. Today, the tables have turned. As the 27-year-old Lubin prepares to face 22-year-old Ramos, he intends to leverage his accumulated wisdom, hoping that history doesn’t repeat itself.
Speaking to Fighthype, Lubin was candid about the challenges ahead. While acknowledging Ramos’s raw power and undefeated streak, Lubin highlighted potential shortcomings in Ramos’s boxing IQ. For Lubin, the game plan is clear: outmaneuver and out-think the younger fighter, exploiting any mistakes Ramos might make.
As the fight night draws closer, the boxing world watches with bated breath. Will Lubin’s experience prove decisive, or will Ramos’s youth and vigor prevail? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: fans are in for a memorable bout.
