Erickson Lubin

Bio

Right then, Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin has been one of the best fighters at 154lb for most of the last decade without ever quite getting the night that the talent deserved. A slick American southpaw with a record of 27-3 and nineteen knockouts, he turned professional as a teenage prospect and has been in with a queue of very good men ever since.

The best of him is the boxing brain. His win over Jesus Ramos Jr was a masterclass in discipline — refusing to trade in the pocket, staying behind the jab, and picking off a bigger, younger man as he marched forward. Nothing about it was flashy and nothing about it was in doubt.

The defeats have all come against elite company, which is the story of his career in one line. He has never once ducked a fight and has never once been in a boring one. At thirty he still has plenty left, and there is not a light middleweight alive who would call him an easy night's work.
