LOL I never heard of this Pernell Gates dude. I understand his other fight fell through, so i will let this one slide i guess. I just checked out Gates profile on boxrec. His quality of opposition is amazing!LOL

OK I take it back

Gates has beaten James Merriweather and Christian De Hoyos. Sure they are not famous or any good, but their names remind me of famous fighters.

Lemiux is a fraud..beating a hapless washed 140 pounder in Camacho and now this! When guys 10-0, 15-0 put thier records on the line against each other RISKING a loss on Shobox, this Lemiux guy goes 25-0 fighting crap!

[richardt]

Lemiux fights stiffs when he has 25 fights when ShoBox fighters BEFORE their 18th fight are fighting serious threats in even matchups....someone tell Lemiux to get some damn balls!

Damn this Gates guy has never been past the 4th round and his opposition has been pretty bad thus far.

I really wish they could have found someone better for David to steamroll which he certainly will here.

Well they did have Ishe Smith lined up, but he declined saying he didn't have enough time to prepare.

I agree GYM didn't give big names to fight with Lemieux. He was suppose to have somekind of opposition in his last 4 or 5 fights and yet,those KO's are just devastating, it's a long shot to call the young man a fraud...Dont forget he will turn 22 next december....
He will be a world champion one day

He's what? 21? He can do whatever he wants for the next 2-3 years IMO.
