David Lemieux - This guy must have concrete in his hands the way he is pummeling people. I know Camacho Jr. and Elvin Ayala aren't the best fighters ever but Ayala went 12 rounds before being KO'd against Arthur Abraham, and Camacho has only been stopped once in 50 something fights. Lemieux didn't just stop Camacho he bodybag'd him.
Lemieux has obviously got the power from what little I've seen it does seem like he has decent boxing skills too. The big question will be how he deals with a guy who has good movement (which Camacho was supposed to have but he got wobbled to early.) I like the way his management is moving his career along though, they aren't throwing him in against the top guys to early, but he is fighting some guys with noticeable names and getting rid of them early. It looks like he is getting a big following in Montreal also. In my eyes Lemieux looks like the real deal.
Gary Russel Jr. - I didn't get to see his whole fight but from what I saw he looks better then when I last saw him. He has unreal speed and apparently some strength although I think it wont really carry with him when he fights the top dogs. Russell's got a strange style though. I know its based off how fast he is but it just seems a little sloppy.
I was reading Dan Rafael's scorecard and he said he wouldn't be surprised to be seeing Russel fighting for a championship as soon as next year. Exciting stuff, I hope this guy does well.
