Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Erickson Lubin – results and post-fight report
Vergil Ortiz Jr finished Saturday’s breathtaking clash with Jaron Ennis after defeating Erickson Lubin in two rounds in Texas.
When Lubin (27-3, 19 KO) was pinned to the ropes, Ortiz Jr (24-0, 22 KO) unloaded with a series of combinations, and “The Hammer” was stunned, the referee waved his hand and stopped the fight.
Ortiz Jr. defended his interim WBC super welterweight title and immediately called for a fight with Ennis, who was watching the fight from ringside at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.
“Boots” called out to Ortiz Jr., following his own one round of demolition of Uisma Lima last month to capture the WBA interim super welterweight crown, and the pair faced each other in the ring and exchanged words, building anticipation for one of the most sought-after fights in the sport.
“Boots come here,” the 27-year-old said.
“I think this is a fight that has to happen.
“I think this is it.”
Ennis replied: “This is the best fight in boxing.
“He did a great job, he looked good.
“But I’m going to show the world why I’m the best in the world.”
Ortiz Jr, fighting for the first time since February’s unanimous decision victory over Israil Madrimov, marched toward Lubin in the opener, connecting with head and body combinations.
Lubin, a former WBC world title challenger who came into the fight on a three-fight winning streak, had some success himself in the first round, taking off on his back foot and landing mostly with the jab.
However, a round later, the 30-year-old’s resistance stopped after a series of blows from the home favorite.
If the Ennis fight doesn’t happen, Ortiz Jr will be ready to fight WBC champion Sebastian Fundora, who was forced to withdraw from his scheduled title defense against Keith Thurman last month due to injury.
Fulghum-Stevens held on for the draw
Darius Fulghum and David Stevens fought to a majority draw in a memorable super middleweight bout.
Fulghum (14-1-1, 12 KO) was looking to bounce back from his loss to Bektemir Melikuziev in May, but his clash with Stevens (15-2-1, 10 KO) never really sparked enthusiasm.
The score of 96-94 in Fulghum’s favor was nullified by two scores of 95-95, declaring the fight a stalemate.
Jones attacks Gamhour
Amari Jones demolished Shady Gamhour with a brutal third-round stoppage in the middleweight bout.
Jones (15-0, 12 KO) knocked Gamhour down with a strenuous right hand, and although he got back up, the defeated Swede was too brave to handle himself and swapped with Jones in the pocket, who caught him with another devastating right hand, forcing the referee to step in.

Vooris Edwards via TKO
American heavyweight prospect Joshua Edwards crossed the second round for the first time in his professional career, scoring a third-round TKO over Zeno Vooris.
Vooris (5-2, 5 KO) was injured after clashing heads, and Edwards (5-0, 5 KO) was in full control, with Vooris taking a corner kick to pull him out in the third round.
Edwards, a 2024 U.S. Olympian, secured his fifth consecutive professional victory after the break.
Safar dismisses Miller
Robin Safar extended his undefeated streak but had to settle for a unanimous decision victory over Derick Miller Jr in a cruiserweight clash.
Safar (19-0, 13 KO) Miller (18-1, 10 KO) seemed to be injured several times, but the American showed heart and stamina to defeat the Swede from a distance.
Safar secured the WBA Continental Americas title with two scores of 99-90 and another 98-91.

Undercard remaining
Eric Priest suffered his first blemish on his record following a split decision draw with Esneiker Correa in their middleweight bout.
The score of 79-73 in favor of Priest (16-0-1, 8 KO) and the score of 77-75 for Correa (16-6-3, 14 KO) were overturned after the third judge ruled 76-76.
Javier Meza (5-0, 2 KO) recorded five professional victories in a row, and the Texas super lightweight defeated Joshua Briones Garcia (3-5-1, 2 KO) by unanimous decision.
Welterweight Samuel Torres (4-0, 3 KO) defeated Ricardo Eliadale (0-2) in the second round, whose corner kick stopped the fight.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
