Comments Thread For: Benavidez: I'm Not Gonna Lie, I Was a David Lemieux Fan

It will be the best fighter on David's resume that's for sure. Lemieux has power probably one of the hardest punches at 160 but he's undersized at 168 and is pretty easy to hit. I think David knocks him out but he does have more power than David's last opponents combined so if he clips him it could make for an interesting night seeing as Gavril was able to put him down and he's of similar stature.

If Benavides is going to use his head-face defense, this will pan out different than most people think.

I even thought Lemieux was undersized at 160. Lemieux would've been a perfect 154lber. At 160 he was thick around the middle. He's way too small at 168 , nevermind being way past his prime.

Won't say the Canadian wins but isn't Benavidez also rather easy to hit? Therefore the other David has a huge punchers chance.

I don't understand how any boxer can be a fan of Lemieux, We're talking about someone who didn't have any skills at all.

Yeah he always came in pretty soft even at 160 but some people just don't want to cut that weight and I don't blame them really it's not healthy to drop that much weight that quick. I do agree he's a bit past his prime but he still has a punchers chance and I think he's more of a live dog than David's last few opponents.

Because he separated opponents from their consciousness and that's enjoyable to watch.

Didn’t Lemieux put Curtis Steven’s in a stretcher? They had to carry Steven’s out.

definitely a chance

Its a bit of a myth that Benavidez is easy to hit. He is rarely hit cleanly, and I don't recall him ever being busted up at all.
