READING, Татко. – Октомври, 27, 2019 – Top super welterweight contender Erickson Lubin continued his resurgence with a dominant 10-round unanimous decision victory over Натаниел Gallimore Saturday night on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Татко.
Lubin (22-1, 16 Нокаута) won his fourth straight fight since a knockout loss to Jermell Charlo in a title challenge in 2017. The 24-year-old landed 42 percent of his power shots en route to the wide decision, отбелязаната 99-91 by all three judges.
The southpaw relied on a suburb left hook, attacking from a variety of angles against the durable Gallimore (21-4-1, 17 Нокаута) as he improved to 4-0 since beginning to train with southpaw specialist Kevin Cunningham.
“Имах огромен тренировъчен лагер благодарение на Кевин Кънингам,” - каза Любин. “Първоначално имахме Терел Гауша, но той падна поради нараняването си. Оценявам Галимор, че пристъпи към чинията. Той ми даде тежка битка и аз го оценявам. Дадохме на феновете това, което искаха. Премерих го. Току-що го измерих и успях да приложа мощните си снимки.
“Кевин е истински строг треньор и е специалист по южните лапи. Ние просто подобряваме нашата игра всеки лагер. Определено искам Jermell Charlo отново. Целта ми е да си отмъстя.”
Кънингам беше доволен от своя ученик, който беше изтласкан след петия рунд за първи път от повече от три години.
“Той винаги е бил адски боец и аз просто исках да прецизирам и усъвършенствам набора от умения,” Каза Кънингам. “He can do everything that you can teach. He’s the total package. He’s got power, he’s got speed, he’s got footwork. He’s more than a brawler. He’s a skillful fighter with power.
“He’s ready for all the top guys in the division. The guys with belts are what he wants.”
Бивш световен шампион в лека категория Robert Великден, Jr. was victorious in his debut at super lightweight, winning a unanimous decision over Adrian Гранадос in an all-action fight scored 97-93, 98-92, 100-90.
Великден (22-1-1 14 Нокаута), who lost his lightweight title in a unification with Mikey Garcia in 2018, was matched for his first fight a super lightweight against one of boxing’s most aggressive, come-forward fighters and the result did not disappoint. Granados charged forward from the opening bell, pressing on the inside against his rangy, 5-foot-11 opponent. In the first half of the fight, Easter pocketed rounds while fighting from a distance, leaning on his speed to win the first four rounds on all three judges’ скоркарти. But the fight seemed to change tides at the midway point, with Granados able to force the bout to be contested at close range. Rounds seven through 10 featured tremendous, back-and-forth exchanges and the more active Granados seemed to get the better of the exchanges.
The fighters combined to throw 1,815 combined total punches and 1,379 combined power punches across 12 кръга.
“We knew he was going to be a hell of a warrior in there,” Easter said. “That’s what we train for. This was no ordinary opponent and we knew he was going to bring it. I wasn’t surprised because that’s what he does. You’ve seen him fight with the best of the best and he threw down. I knew he was going to throw punches in bunches.
“This was a hell of a test for me at 140 and I felt strong. I’m not calling out anybody specifically, but you know there are champions in this weight class and I’m coming for all the belts. Line ’em up.”
One of boxing’s most reliable action fighters, Granados (20-8-2, 13 Нокаута) threw more punches and connected more and was once again frustrated with a decision that did not go his way.
“Аз съм безмълвен. I felt like I won the fight,” Granados said. “That 100 към 90? Come on now.
“I’m tired of the same old story. It was clear that I controlled the fight. He never had me hurt. That was embarrassing.
“I can’t control the judging. It’s very frustrating. I have a dream to be a world champion and it just seems like it’s not cutting out for me. But I have the heart of a champion and I’m not giving up.”
При откриването схватката на телевизията, undefeated Cuban heavyweight Франк Санчесpitched a shutout against Джак Мулоуей, winning a 10-round unanimous decision scored 100-90 by all three judges.
Sanchez (14-0, 11 Нокаута) was the more active fighter from the opening bell, targeting the body against the defensive-minded Mulowayi (7-2-1, 3 Нокаута). The 27-year-old Sanchez, who was taken the 10-round distance for the first time, threw over 250 more punches than his opponent.
“My opponent didn’t really want to fight, he just wanted to fight dirty,” Sanchez said. “So all I could do was give him some lateral movement. It’s difficult when someone doesn’t want to engage. We wanted to touch him down, touch him up high. But once he got touched, the guy just tried to tie up.
“There was no problem going 10 кръга. I’m in great shape and I’m ready to fight again as soon as possible. I showed my technical superiority tonight. All the heavyweights better watch out.”
Two-time super featherweight world champion Gervonta “Резервоар” Davis was interviewed during Saturday’s telecast as he continues to train for his lightweight debut December 28 on SHOWTIME from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The explosive Davis, who will fight Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship, continued to call out the top fighters when he spoke with host Brian Custer.
“I’ve heard all these guys calling me out, I don’t want to sound cocky, but I am the cash cow at this weight class,” Davis said. “Me and Leo Santa Cruz are going to fight in 2020.”
Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME.
