<\/a>Erickson \u201cThe Hammer\u201d Lubin out-classed Terrell Gausha in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator to set up a matchup with the winner of the Jermell Charlo vs. Jeison Rosario unification bout, part of next week\u2019s CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER on SHOWTIME PPV. Lubin won via unanimous decision (115-113, 116-112, 118-110) in the main event of an exciting night of boxing live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.<\/p>\nAfter a slow start to the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION\u00ae tripleheader main event, the 24-year-old Lubin (23-1, 16 KOs) did enough to win after a more action-packed fight broke out in the eighth round. Lubin, who was wobbled in the tenth round, pressed to close the show in the final round against a game Gausha, who refused to go down. Orlando\u2019s Lubin landed an average of 12 out of 48 punches per round to 9 of 40 for Gausha (21-2-1, 10 KOs), and landed 47 percent of his power punches in the fight.<\/p>\n
If Charlo is victorious in next week\u2019s unification bout, Lubin will get his much-desired rematch of his only career loss, a devastating one-punch knockout in October 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely made a statement,\u201d said Lubin, who is trained by Kevin Cunningham. \u201cI beat one of the top guys in the division, and that\u2019s always a statement. I feel like I beat one of the top 154 pounders and I\u2019m going to keep doing that. I\u2019m going to stay in the gym and keep getting better. I know I hurt him in the last round. I was trying to get him out of there, but still be cautious. He was game. He\u2019s an Olympian with good experience, so I didn\u2019t want to get too wild.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Jermell Charlo is going to come out on top against Jeison Rosario. I\u2019m ready for a rematch if he can take care of business like I did. I changed up a lot since the first fight. I have a master trainer in my corner in Kevin Cunningham, along with my longtime trainer Jason Galarza. I\u2019m just all around a better fighter since the first time we fought.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the co-main event, a 12-round WBC Featherweight Title Eliminator, Mongolian Olympic silver-medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KOs) rode two early knockdowns to win a highly competitive split-decision over Barbadian Cobia Breedy (15-1, 5 KOs), setting up a possible rematch with WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. The judges scored the fight (114-113, 114-112, 111-115).<\/p>\n
Nyambayar dropped Breedy twice in the opening two rounds, once with his right hand and once with his left, but the gutsy Breedy climbed his way back into the fight after the early setbacks. Breedy was the busier fighter, throwing 62 punches per round compared to 47 for Nyambayar. \u201cKing Tug\u201d landed the harder punches and connected on 51 percent of his power punches in the fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a tough fight,\u201d said the 28-year-old Nyambayar. \u201cI have a lot of respect for Breedy. He\u2019s a great boxer. I thought I won the fight and did well to get the knock downs early. I thought I got the job done and I\u2019m ready for the next step. I knew it was a close fight, but I wasn\u2019t thinking about the score. I was surprised it was a split decision, but I thought I did enough to get the win.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the opening bout of the telecast, Philadelphia\u2019s welterweight phenom Jaron Ennis (26-0, 24 KOs) continued his rapid ascent up the 147-pound charts by recording his 16th straight KO, this time against durable veteran Juan Carlos Abreu (23-6-1, 21 KOs), who had never been stopped before in his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in there having my fun, then my dad said to stop playing with him, and that it\u2019s time to take him out, so that\u2019s what I did,\u201d said Ennis, who goes by the nickname \u201cBoots\u201d. \u201cI know he\u2019s fought some tough guys in the past. Compare what I did to what they did. It shows the different skill level and attributes that I have. I made a statement tonight and stopped someone who\u2019s never been stopped. Bring on the top 10 and top five guys or title eliminators. I\u2019m coming for the championship next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The switch-hitting Ennis landed his first meaningful punch in the fifth round, sending Abreu to the canvas with a vicious right-handed uppercut. Abreu beat the referee\u2019s count and survived the round, but the end was imminent. In the next round, the 23-year-old Ennis knocked Abreu down for the sixth and seventh times of his career, forcing referee John Callas to stop the bout at 1:06 of round six. Ennis, who was pushed into the sixth round for just the third time of his career, now has 16 knockdowns in his last seven bouts. (Watch the first knockdown HERE)<\/p>\n
