"We've seen it before and it reminds me of Badou Jack, who had an even more shocking knockout loss in a relatively early fight but he came back and became a world champion.""I firmly believe that Erickson has the determination and talent to start from scratch and be a world champion," he said.Lubin is slated to fight Gausha in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card broadcast on Showtime on Saturday, September 19.Other bouts on the card include the American 23-year-old Jaron "Boots" Ennis' welterweight match against Juan Carlos Abreu, and a featherweight ruckus between Tugstsogt Nyambayar and Cobia Breedy.Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/saul-canelo-alvarez-situation-is-chaos-showtime-boss-says-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez could become boxing's greatest free agent, and Showtime's president says he'd 'like nothing more' than to sign him</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/floyd-mayweather-and-logan-paul-reportedly-considering-an-exhibition-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul's people are reportedly talking behind-the-scenes about a lucrative boxing exhibition bout</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-reacted-angrily-to-an-allegation-of-indecent-exposure-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor reacted angrily to an allegation of indecent exposure, saying people are trying to set him up: 'The truth will always set me free'</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/bobby-green-said-navid-afkari-killing-broke-his-heart-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A UFC fighter was heartbroken and cut an interview short when he found out a champion wrestler had been executed in Iran</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/roy-jones-jr-mike-tyson-exhibition-may-be-mistake-jones-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roy Jones Jr. said he may have 'made a mistake' agreeing to an exhibition with Mike Tyson because 'he's the bigger,' more 'explosive guy'</a>

"Like I said before, I knew I was gonna stop him. I'm just too smart for these guys.

A 23-year-old American called Jaron Ennis just destroyed another opponent to secure his 16th consecutive win by stoppage

<ul class="summary-list"><li><keyword id="13569988" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="erickson-lubin" source="Orion">Erickson Lubin</keyword> suffered a humiliating first-round knockout loss in 2017.</li><li>He returned to his locker room sad but never felt less of himself, he said.</li></ul>LAS VEGAS — It's 2017 and Floridian fighter Erickson Lubin had flown to New York for the biggest fight of his life, having only trained for five weeks.He was 22 years old, and though some in the industry regarded the step up to be too much, too soon for Lubin, a shot at Jermell Charlo's WBC light middleweight championship proved impossible to resist. Lubin dared to be great from a young age.Greatness that night was instead thrust upon Charlo, as he stiffened Lubin's body with a thunderous uppercut 29 seconds before the end of the opening round.It was a shot so powerful and so accurate that it dropped Lubin in an instant. The referee didn't even bother counting — there was no getting up from that.In <keyword id="11922196" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="boxing" source="Orion">boxing</keyword>, defeats like these can be seen as career-crushing because the sport seems to cling to the aura that comes with being unbeaten.We've always heard about "protecting yourself at all times," but a new, unofficial motto of "protect your 0 at all times," had emerged, too. Losses are bad. Knockouts can be worse.And so Lubin felt saddened when the reality of defeat dawned on him when he returned to his locker room.<h2>Lubin rises again</h2><div type="image" title="Jermell Charlo dropped Erickson Lubin with a first-round, fight-finishing uppercut." height="1334" width="2000" msid="90714410" hostid="261"></div>But that night didn't spell the end of Lubin's career; five years on, the American has put together a string of six wins from six fights — some against considerable opponents.He's beaten Terrell Gausha. He's dominated Jeison Rosario. "I'm fighting guys other people are too scared," Lubin told Insider days before he returns to the ring for a WBC interim title shot against <keyword id="13569989" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="sebastian-fundora" source="Orion">Sebastian Fundora</keyword>."These top guys are just building me up to when I'm going to be champion. And when I become a champion, I'll be able to proudly say I beat this guy, that guy, every guy that's in the top 10, or top 5 in the division."Lubin is delivering a master class in how to rebound from one of the most humiliating nights a fighter can suffer."I jumped into the Charlo fight a little too soon, maybe," Lubin said.He refused to let the knockout loss define him, though, and he felt motivated to rise again. "It was definitely a sad moment, but it never brought me down to where I thought less of myself. It made me hungrier."Lubin used the time out after the loss to bond with his young son and socialize with friends, but it was not long before he got right back into the gym with trainer Kevin Cunningham and developed a plan to return to the top."I know my skillset, I know how determined I am, and I know how good I am. So I got right back to it. I got with Kevin, and it's been all guns blazing ever since."Lubin told Insider he "always knew" that he had what it takes to win on the big stage. The difference between now and 2017 is a question of maturity, he said."Maturity, man — I just feel like I've been maturing because I always knew I had the skillset, the power, the confidence, and the motivation. I had it all … the full package."Cunningham's been drilling things Lubin does well, adding things to his arsenal that he doesn't, and has been teaching him about the business of boxing."I moved away from my hometown, got with Kevin, and I understand the business a lot more."So far, it's worked. Victory on Saturday, at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas in an event broadcast on Showtime, will see the Lubin-Fundora winner move into a mandated shot at the WBC title.The stakes are once again high for Lubin, but he by no means sees Fundora — a 6-foot-6, 154-pounder who was recently regarded as a prospect of the year contender — as the toughest test of his career. He's had plenty of those already."His height is a little different," Lubin said. However, he seemed unfazed at the prospect of navigating a height difference, having boxed taller opponents in the amateurs, and recruited sparring partners who are that tall, too.He's even brought in Jamontay Clark, who earned a draw in a 2019 fight against Fundora that took place in Minneapolis. "I think he won that fight," Lubin said of Clark, whose intel on Fundora could prove significant.<h2>Lubin wants to win, before seeking out more big names</h2><div type="image" title="Sebastian Fundora is one of the tallest fighters in the light middleweight division." height="1334" width="2000" msid="90714411" hostid="261"></div>Lubin and Cunningham haven't just been talking up a win, they've been talking up a knockout of their own. They want to win, yes, but they want to do so in style."I'm confident," Lubin said. "I'm always going into these fights confident just because of the way I train. We're locked in, and we've got a job to handle come Saturday."From there, he wants to get in more fights, but only if they have one thing — a big name."I definitely want to be more active, maybe fighting two or three times this year," he said. "I still want the big fights against the best names possible."Despite that defeat, Lubin continues to dare to be great.
