Lubin, 27-2 (19 KOs), has a deserved reputation for being a warrior, predominantly due to his ninth-round stoppage loss to Fundora in April 2022. Lubin absorbed punishment throughout the fight, his face swelling alarmingly as he did. In the seventh round, though, he conjured a magnificent knockdown against the flow of momentum that made the fight an instant classic. The only other blemishes on Lubin’s resume are a first-round KO loss to Charlo in 2017 – Charlo slipped in a nearly invisible short right hand to the chin that Lubin never saw coming – and a decision win over Jesus Ramos in 2023 that hardly anybody felt he deserved.
