דריקט דאָ for story and דאָ for video via PremierBoxingChampions.com
Even before he signed a professional contract on his 18th birthday, Erickson Lubin had high expectations set upon him for 2016.
אין 2013, Lubin was one of the United Statestop amateur boxers and being targeted as a surefire standout on the 2016 יוז. Olympic team. אָבער, the talented southpaw swapped that dream for another on October 1, 2013, when he turned pro and began his quest to become a world champion.
While עריקסאַן “האַמער” לובין has yet to fight for a world title, let alone obtain one, his decision to forgo a shot at Olympic gold has remained fruitful.
לובין (17-0, 12 קאָס) continued his ascent in the 154-pound division in 2016 by winning all four of his fights in dominating fashion-two by knockout and two by unanimous decision. With his perfect performance, the staff of Premier Boxing Champions selected Lubin as PBC’s Rising Star of the Year.
The 21-year-old Orlando, פלאָרידאַ, native beat out fellow young guns דזשאַסטין דעלאָאַטש, דזשאַררעטט כערד און סערגיי ליפּינעץ, all of whom convincingly moved up the ladder in their respective weight classes this year.
לובין, who in addition to his “האַמער” moniker has dubbed his right hand “דזשאַק” and his leftSledge,” got his year started on יאַנואַר 31 מיט אַ 10-round decision over Mexico’s Jose De Jesus Macias in Immokalee, פלאָרידאַ.
While Lubin was unable to knock out Macias-a veteran who has never been stopped in 28 pro fights-he gained a fifth-round knockdown with a counter right hook and won every round on two scorecards, with the third judge giving him all but one round.
Lubin returned to the ring on יוני 18, סקאָרינג אַ third-round TKO of Daniel Sandoval אין טשיקאַגאָ. In that bout, Lubin pounded the head and body of his Mexican opponent before hurting him with a body shot late in Round 3. While Sandoval did not go down, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight at the 2:36 צייכן.
Less than a month later, Lubin jumped back in the ring against his third straight Mexican opponent, battling Ivan Montero in Birmingham, אַלאַבאַמאַ, אויף יולי 16. Montero entered the eight-round bout with a record of 20-1, and he gave Lubin his toughest test yet, as the fight went distance. אין די סוף, כאָטש, the young southpaw proved his skills were superior, sweeping all three judges’ סקאָרעקאַרדס.
לובין, who has never fought a boxer with a losing record, capped his year earlier this month in emphatic fashion with a second-round KO of Juan Ubaldo Cabrera אין לאס אנדזשעלעס. In that bout, Lubin used both “דזשאַק” און “האַמער” to drop Cabrera twice in Round 2 and gain his sixth stoppage in his last eight bouts.
As he continues to sharpen his skills with each passing bout, don’t be surprised if Erickson Lubin’s star continues to rise in 2017-perhaps all the way to the top of the super competitive 154-pound division.

יסטער, Commey hit all the right spots in PBC’s Round of the Year

דריקט דאָ for story and video via PremierBoxingChampions.com
Entering the late stages of a competitive, action-packed fight with a vacant 135-pound world title at stake, ראבערט יסטער דזשוניער. and Richard Commey upped the ante in a thrilling three minutes that brought out the best in both men.
After Commey gained a questionable knockdown of Easter in the eighth round of their סעפּטעמבער 9 bout at Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania, there was complete uncertainty to which fighter had the edge on the judges’ סקאָרעקאַרדס.
With a date with greatness up for grabs, ראבערט יסטער דזשוניער. און Richard Commey wasted no time going back at it in Round 9, which the staff of Premier Boxing Champions has selected as PBC’s Round of the Year for 2016.
Easter-Commey beat out three other worthy candidates: קייַלעכיק 9 פון Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter, קייַלעכיק 2 פון Leo Santa Cruz vs Carl Frampton and Round 4 פון Adonis Stevenson vs Thomas Williams Jr. It was a closely contested round, with two of the judges siding with Easter and and one giving Commey the nod, which factored into Easter winning a split decision.
נאָר 10 seconds into Round 9, Easter and Commey moved into close quarters, exchanging heavy blows with both hands for nearly 30 seconds with little pause.
The fighters backed off nearly a minute in as they regrouped from the heated exchange and resumed a more measured approach working primarily with their jabs.
Commey, אָבער, quickly ramped the action back up about 90 seconds into the round as the Ghana native began to let loose with his right hand coming behind the jab.
With a minute left in the round and a partisan crowd filled with family and friends from his hometown of Toledo, אָהיאָ, rooting him on, Easter appeared to gain the upper hand as he pinned Commey against the ropes and landed a couple of solid rights during a flurry of punches.
After escaping the barrage, כאָטש, it was Commey’s turn to return fire as he landed a couple of rights before Easter responded with a head-turning left hook.
In the final 25 סעקונדעס, both fighters again exchanged rapid-fire blows before backing off just before the bell so that not only they could catch their breath, but that everyone watching could as well.

I’m ready to get back in the ring,” said Warren. “I’m happy the fight is three days before my birthday because defending my title for the first time and winning will be the best birthday present. We’ve been checking out Zhakiyanov. I think it’s going to be a good show because he definitely isn’t a slouch. I’m just going to enjoy being a champion, defending my title and showing what I’m capable of.
I’m very happy to be fighting in the U.S. with a chance to become a world champion,” said Zhakiyanov. “I want to thank Warren for taking this fight, but it will be a big mistake.

IBF Flyweight World Champion John Riel Casimero to Relinquish Title and Campaign at Super Flyweight

Former IBF World Light Flyweight and current IBF Flyweight World Champion John Riel “קוואַדראָ וויי” Casimero and his team have made the decision to relinquish his title and campaign in the super flyweight division.
קאַסימעראָ (23-3, 15 קאָס), who stopped Englishman Charlie Edwards in 10 rounds last September at the O2 Arena in London, will now go gunning for the 115-lb division’s top dogs including IBF World Champion Jerwin Acajas and Nicaragua’s Román “טשאָקאָלאַטיטאָ” González.
26-year-old Casimero, from Cebu City, פיליפינען, says he’s looking forward to the opportunity to join the greats of Philippines boxing.
To win my third title would be a great honor for me and put my name in with some of the best fighters my country has ever produced,” said Casimero. “I will be immediately looking to make an impact and fight the big fights that allow me the opportunity.
Casimero’s promoter, סאַמפּסאָן לעווקאָוויקז פון סאַמפּסאָן באָקסינג, says Casimero is more than ready for the move.

He’s so strong and he keeps growing,” האט לעווקאָוויקז. “It is time for John Riel to move up and secure his place in Philippines boxing history. It is our hope to quickly face Acajas and Chocolatito next year. That is what we will work to make happen.
