Fightnews.com® caught up with rising jr. middleweight sensation Jesus Ramos Jr as he prepares to face the battle tested Erickson Lubin as the co-main event on Canelo-Charlo on Sat, Sept 30 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Ramos talked about facing Lubin, learning new training techniques from Team Crawford, the excitement of fighting on a Canelo card and much more in this exclusive interview.

Nice undercard. Hopefully NO female fights to be included.
Ramos, Jr. (Ramos) looks like a solidly built 160 pound fighter (rather than a huge boxer at 154). There are certain camps that love to stuff their fighters in a weight class below their natural weight (tricky). However, if a fighter makes weight safely, continue fighting in the weight class. On fight night, Ramos is going to be a huge truck. Ramos can also scrap.
I seriously doubt if Lubin adjusted his defense against uppercuts. I expect Ramos’ size, pressure and power to defeat Lubin by TKO 7. Lubin may retire after Ramos runs over him.
I hope to see a Tszyu vs. Ramos fight in the near future, but Ramos must continue winning with a solid impact in the boxing world.
