It came after the 26-year-old’s trainer, Kevin Cunningham, stopped the bout before round 10 to end the thrilling Las Vegas encounter, handing Lubin only his second loss in 26 fights.Fundora, who dealt the damage, admitted it was the right call for Lubin's trainer to throw in the towel after round nine.He said: “I think it was a good decision for Kevin Cunningham to stop the fight.Do you think Lubin's trainer was right to end the fight?
