Erickson Lubin Questions Why Jaron Ennis Fought Uisma Lima


Since making quick work of Uisma, fans and media members have praised Ennis. According to Lubin (27-2, 19 KOs), the applause is a bit too loud considering the opponent.

“Boots is a great fighter, I enjoyed watching the fight,” Lubin told The Ring. “He got rid of that dude in just one round, which is impressive, but that dude wasn’t [expletive].”


Lima (14-2, 10 KOs) was ranked in the top 10 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies and held the IBO title, but Ennis was as high as a 30-1 favorite according to various sportsbooks.

Lima, 32, hadn’t fought in the United States before he lost to Ennis. He had also lost a one-sided unanimous decision to Ireland’s Aaron McKenna (20-0, 10 KOs), ranked No. 7 in The Ring’s middleweight top 10.

Still, that didn’t stop Ennis from grabbing the microphone during his post-fight interview and start naming names. From Lubin to Vergil Ortiz to every beltholder, the Philadelphia star wants them all.

However, Lubin pointed out if Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs, 1 NC) truly wanted to fight a big-name opponent, he could have marched right into a fight of significance from the start of his junior middleweight journey.

“Boots after the fight, he had a lot to say about the whole division,” Lubin said. “He wanna fight this person, he wanna fight that person, he wanna fight Bakhram [Murtazaliev], he wanna fight [Sebastian] Fundora, he wanna fight Vergil, he wanna fight me, he wanna fight [Jermell] Charlo. But why the [expletive] did you just fight Lima then? Come out the gate fighting one of these dudes. That would’ve been more respectable.”

Lubin will face Ortiz (23-0, 21 KOs) on November 8 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
