After watching Ramos Jr.’s last fight, he is very impressive for such a young man. He showed his usual hand speed and power advantage that he has over most guys. He even showed how he can handle pressure–knocking down his opponent. While moving backward against the ropes with a beautiful counter.
Lubin, on the other hand, has a much different style, and he’s also very fun to watch. He fights out of a long southpaw stance with a great lead hand. Where he lands check hooks and sharp jabs. “The Hammer” also backs up that lead hand with a very fast left up the middle and a fast uppercut that he throws with bad intentions.
