Charlo and Spence's trainer foreshadowed the dangers of head movement like Lubin's

[uppercut510]

daaaaaaaaaamn he they knew he would do that. a big no no as a southpaw vs a good ortho like charlo, she should have ducked to his right.... he may need to switch trainers to get to the next level. little things matter

I always thought head movement was a great thing but Derrick James explained how head movement can be detrimental. Dipping and leaning side to side can get you out of position and get you timed and knocked out.

it's a shame though because I really like Lubin and wanted him to win. Can't believe he went out like that in the 1st round. Didn't think he was soft like that.

Not soft, Jermell was a better fighter period. Lions Only!

Dont see where all this weak chin stuff is coming from. The guy got blasted with a clean shot he walked into against a known hard hitter. It happens.

Derrick James deserves trainer of the year. That was EXACTLY how that KO played out!

[Rudiamonds]

That one punch probably ruined that poor boy

The thing Lubin did wrong wasn't about moving his head or leaning to the side per se.

The problem was that he did those things and

A) took his eyes off his opponent and,

B) didn't keep his guard in proper position.
