Even as his fight dates draw near, the Baltimore native is calm, cool, and collected while his opponents are animated and truculent. However, despite his normally serene demeanor, Davis and Rolando “Rolly” Romero nearly came

The extremely confident 23-year-old showed resolve and heart by picking himself up off the deck against Luke Campbell to register a seventh-round knockout win. While Garcia was ultimately hoping that his victory
Posted on 04/09/2022 By: Sean Crose On the surface of things, it looks like David and Goliath. Junior welterweight Erickson Lubin stands at just under 5’10 – common for the 154 pound weight realm. His opponent this Saturday night at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, however, stands nearly 6’6. That’s right, the 18-0-1 Sebastian Fondura

Posted on 04/05/2022 By: Hans Themistode Erickson Lubin has successfully peeled himself up off the canvas, both figuratively and literally. With the entire boxing world watching, the Florida native would lose in stunning fashion at the hands of Jermell Charlo in October of 2017.
