On The Watch “It’s All About Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs Erickson Lubin”

WBC Interim Junior Middleweight Challenge

Last night’s Golden Boy/DAZN Main Event between WBC Interim Junior Middleweight Champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. (24-0, 22 Kos) and challenger Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin (27-3, 19 Kos) was nothing more than a statement fight where the Interim Champion showed the world and the fans at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, why he’s rated the No. 1 fighter in the 154-Pound Division.

What was supposed to be a tough and competitive bout on paper turned out to be a quick and one-sided beatdown at the hands of Ortiz Jr. who completely outclassed Lubin from the first bell. It was clear from the jump that Lubin had left his “Hammer” inside the tool box because he showed up with no proper “game plan” to deter Ortiz Jr. from having his way with him inside that squared circle.

Lubin looked gun shy and not well-equipped to stand toe-to-toe with the hungrier Ortiz Jr. who was landing nothing but powerful punches from head to body with absolutely no resistance coming his way.

By the second round, Ortiz Jr. had already gathered enough intel on Lubin and decided to go for the kill when he pinned Lubin on the ropes and unloaded on him and caught him with a nasty right hand that left him out cold on his feet which prompted the referee to step in and stop the fight before any further serious damage could be handed down.  

This was an impressive stoppage by Ortiz Jr. considering Lubin was a highly-ranked and proven contender who talked a good game but fell severely short of backing it up on the night.

With this convincing win under his belt, the stage is now clear for the two Interim Champions, WBA Interim Champion Jaron Ennis (35-0, 31 kos) and WBC Interim Champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. (24-0, 22 Kos) to finally square up and settle their differences inside that squared circle to determine the No. 1 combatant in the 154-Pound Division. 

The time is now!

On The Watch “It’s All About Showtime Premier Boxing Champions”

Super Welterweight Division

Wow!!! Last night, Saturday October 14, 2017, Showtime Premier Boxing Champions gave us the fans an incredible tripleheader at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn New York. REAL TALK!
Six of the top Super Welterweights graced that squared circle and all performed stunningly on that stage.

First up was undefeated Jarrett Hurd (21-0, 15 Kos) the International Boxing Federation Titleholder who successfully defended his belt vs former World Champion Austin Trout (30-4, 17 Kos).
This bout was about a young hungry gunner climbing his way to the top of the food chain with no regard to whatsoever to any savvy proven veteran standing in his way. REAL TALK! Trout is a proven warrior and one of the best at that but your Boy Hurd was just too big and strong on that night. Austin brought his “A “ Game but was cut short by the 10th round. Hurd’s onslaught on Trout was just too much to handle.
Jarrett Hurd becomes the first fighter to beat Austin Trout by knockout or technical knockout. Congratulations on your win Champ.

In the co-feature, (which could have easily been the main event on any other night), WBC Super Welterweight Titleholder Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo (30-0, 15 Kos), also successfully defended his belt in an astonishing fashion by demolishing previously unbeaten No. 1 contender Erickson “Hammer” Lubin (18-1, 13 Kos) in the first round. Nuff Said!
Your Boy Jermell is the truth. The kid walks it like he talks it. He once again silenced all the critics and the haters who just can’t seem to come to grip that this kid is the real deal. The 154-pound Division has a real problem on their hands and he goes by the name of Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo. Good luck to the competition. Congratulations Champ!

In the main event, WBA/IBO Super Welterweight World Champion Erislandy Lara (25-2-2, 14 Kos) successfully defended his belts by knocking down previously unbeaten Terell Gausha (20-1, 9 Kos) on the way to a 12-round unanimous decision.
Listen his fight wasn’t as exciting as Jarrett or Jermell’s previous title fights but we can’t wrong the man for making it look so easy cause he’s still the top dude in the Division. We all know that styles make fights so lets hope his next performance is up to par to a real Champs standard. Congratulations Champ.
