His four junior middleweight belts are not on the line tonight, but Canelo’s quartet of titles at 168 are very much in play
Only one fight left tonight in Las Vegas
Up next, the main event: Canelo Alvarez (59-2-2) vs. Jermell Charlo (35-1-1) at super middleweight
Jimmy Lennon Jr.’s post-fight ring call
Showtime’s Steve Farhood said he is ‘mystified’ by this decision
Farhood gave Ramos the edge: 116-112.
The three judges, however, all went in favor of Lubin
Ramos said he ‘felt like I did a little more’
Gives credit to Lubin after his first career defeat. Says he’ll go back to the drawing board and come back stronger
Many in the arena sound disappointed with the decision
Lubin: “i’m one of the top dogs in the division.”
Says he deserves more top fights. Doesn’t consider himself a gatekeeper at junior middleweight
Lubin pulls off SHOCKING victory
Crowd sounds upset by the unanimous-decision win granted to Lubin.
scores: 115-113; 116-112; 117-111
78 to 25 body shots, in favor of Ramos
Ramos also landed more than 80 power punches
Judges are faced with a VERY difficult decision
Lubin did some good work along the ropes earlier in the fight, but Lubin pushed the action towards the middle of the ring, which seemed to help his turnaround
Lubin’s jab continues to improve at the end of the fight
Suddenly Lubin is his former self in these later rounds
Lubin was just warned about punching to the back of Ramos’ head
The two were tangled on the ropes when Lubin took the opportunity to sneak in a few rabbit punches

Brutal left by Lubin on Ramos caught by photographer
Ramos appears to be tiring in round 11
Lubin has been gaining steam heading into the championship rounds.
Terence Crawford is in attendance, but takes a pass on making a prediction
The undefeated, undisputed welterweight champ has been vocal about his desire to fight Canelo in the future.
Crawford could also fight with Charlo at junior middleweight if he can’t book Canelo
If Canelo is nervous about Charlo, he isn’t showing it
Nice footage of Ramos’ body work on Lubin
Floyd Mayweather Jr. isn’t the only boxing legend at T-Mobile Arena
Julio Cesar Chavez is also in attendance
Smells like money at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas
Lubin is coming off a win…
… but had the wind taken out of his sail by 6-foot-6 Sebastian Fundora in April of 2022 when his corner threw in the towel.
Looking strong tonight against a fellow southpaw, but Ramos has an excellent uppercut and very good power. Dangerous, young fighter at just 20.
Up next: Ramos Jr. vs. Lubin
Americans Jesus Ramos Jr. (20-0) and Erickson Lubin (25-2) are up next at junior middleweight. Ramos could eventually fight his way into a battle with Charlo if he continues winning. He’s coming off a March stoppage victory over Joseph Spencer.
A look at Barrios’ second knockdown of Ugas
Unlikley Ugas saw this left hook coming.
Barriors improves to 28-2 with the decision
Ugas falls to 27-6 and has now lost consecutive fights for the second time in his career.
Ugas is still standing…
… but as one can tell from his eye, it’s unlikely he’s going to get the decision.
Ugas went down in the final round, likely because he couldn’t see Barrios’ left hook out of his right eye.
Ugas’ eye is closing rapidly under Barrios’ barrage
Ugas’ right eye is closing. In his last fight, against Errol Spence Jr., he suffered significant damage to that same orbital bone.
Ugas is pictured connecting with a left against Barrios

Here is the end of Garcia’s victory over Resendiz
Ugas returns to action after his 2022 loss to Spence
Ugas, a 37-year-old Cuban with a decorated amateur career, hasn’t fought since his 2022 TKO loss to Errol Spence Jr. at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Barrios beat Jovanie Santiago with an eighth-round TKO in February in his native San Antonio, but lost his previous two fights: A unanimous decision to Keith Thurman and a TKO defeat to Gervonta Davis.
