Lubin has a weak chin.

I do think that he got hurt because he relaxed too much at that point in the fight. Only time will tell if his whiskers are world class. I am a big Jrock fan but his chin has been a let down.Naw Lubin is OK, he kinda "Fell Asleep" vs Gausha and lost respect for his power and got sloppy and Gausha clipped him on the top of his head not even on his Chin and it threw off his Equilibrium but he recovered well. Before that, he was boxing well and dominating. Hell even after that shot he recovered and hurt Guasha multiple times in the 12 and finished strong
Vs better opponents you will see him tighten things up more. Cunningham is the perfect trainer for him, he was telling him all fight "Don't Fall Asleep" and he did and Gausha made him pay for it. Lucky for him Gausha is not a big puncher but where he landed that shot it doesn't take much Power to knock off someone Equilibrium when you hit that Temple Area and all of a sudden they have Vertigo
So whatever, also heard people say "Lennox Lewis Has A Weak Chin" "Wlad Has A Weak Chin" yet years and Decades Later both are All Time Greats. Not comparing Lubin to those Legends BUT, you can overcome a Suspect or Shaky Chin in Boxing...Try not to get it in it as much and certainly not with big shots. That is why Lennox used his Jab more as well as Wlad used his jab an also wasn't too prideful to Clinch to avoid getting hit with something he didn't see comingComment

Even if his Chin Shaky... that just means he needs to do a better job of "Holding His Phone" meaning keeping that damn Guard up High and Tight and don't pull straight backComment

Definitely, Lubin is offensive minded but he has to pay more attention to his defense and not have those lapses.Comment

If Tony Harrison was over him Lubin wouldn't have been spanking him in sparring. He's also been stopped 3 times by ppl who aren't more skilled than him.
J rock is the closest but I just think Lubin is better, he also had a better performance with a common opponent in Gallimore. & he's been stopped twice by ppl who aren't more skilled than him.
& Lara is no longer in his prime. I got Lubin over him right now.Comment

I guarantee you Lubin will also be stopped by people less skilled than him. Having a ****e chin doesn't make you a bad boxer.If Tony Harrison was over him Lubin wouldn't have been spanking him in sparring. He's also been stopped 3 times by ppl who aren't more skilled than him.

It doesn't. But it lends credence to: they may not be as skilled as some such as yourself think they are. Lubin has already been stopped by a person less skilled than him. Soo.... Outside of Fundora, Hurd, or Charlo again. I don't see anybody less skilled than him with the capability to stop him. The main reason it's even a possibility is cause Lubin wasn't even fighting near this weight until his last amateur tournament iirc. Which is the same year he turned pro. Everybody he can & needs to fight for credibility are all the naturally bigger man.Comment

I mean other then getting caught rushing in by mora hes only been dropped by golovkin since right? And he took heavy shots the rest of the fight and stood right in front of him. Also took shots in the canelo and chenko fights..
I mean after getting iced like lubin I would say hes made a fine career as a proComment

He’s adapted his style nicely to avoid taking many flush shots on the chin but he’s not exactly solid there.I mean other then getting caught rushing in by mora hes only been dropped by golovkin since right?
