Comments Thread For: Lemieux-Rosado HBO Tripleheader A Hit With Viewers

With some more polishing in defense (especially against left uppercuts), GGG will have his hands full with the pretty beast from Canada..

One can hope...

BTW. I like Beterbiev - he's good. But at list in one of those amateur fights that he won against Kovalev he lost badly but Kovalev was robbed.

First fight was alright, second fight was real meh until the the stoppage, the third fight was brutal but mostly one sided.

Fun card, but I think Dulorme gets beat soon, and Lemieux is pretty limited although very fun to watch. Centano is the wildcard I kind of think he could be someone but I need to see how he handles certain things better, but dude can crack for a guy that looks scrawny.

Meh fights?....YOU need to see?..Who are you?

He's been training with Russ Anber since he was 9 years old. He won the Canadian amateur championship 3x and opted not to go the Olympic route because Russ thought he was a waste of time. He had far more amateur background than Gabe Rosada who started boxing in his late teens/early 20's and went 8-2.

I'm honestly not impressed with Ramsay's work. Pascal is naturally blessed with athletic ability, power, and a chin, but fights like an imbecile trying so hard to emulate Roy Jones. Eldier Alvarez is a loss waiting to happen as well. Beterbeiv comes to Marc as a finished product thank goodness. He's a promotional trainer like Fritz Zdunek for Universum.

When Anber tried to bring Lemieux to the Martinez camp in California he only wanted to leave. David's matured considerably since then, but he still needs alot more work and learning how to setup his shots. He's in a dead heat with Khytrov who I think beats him as of now.

Very well educated post. Thank you.

They need more of these cards, evenly matched fighters looking to make a name. How is the flyweight division not shown more beyond hbo2? i'm sure the purses would be reasonable.

Good stuff

I'm pretty shocked with this one. People have been complaining about fights starting late on HBO, but they know not to go head to head with college football especially at the end of their regular season.

Golden Boy and HBO should pat themselves on the back for doing well, with a card full of B fighters (no disrespect here, all were pretty good/fair matchups imo).

This weekend is going to be crazy btw

In my opinion there isn't much to get excited about. And why? The only thing David proved was that he can beat a very beatable club fighter from Philly. But I do wish him luck.

boxing fans are a strange bunch. Cards you expect to do great aren't and cards you expect to be ok are doing great lol. Anyways, glad the numbers turned out well, just sayin.

What I realize about American boxing fans - I'm a Canadian who has been living in Dallas for 10 years - is that they know very little about how boxers are being trained in Montreal. I keep listening about folks reference to Lemieux's fight against Rubio. First, Lemieux turned professional at 18 (with practically no amateur background) and faced Rubio at 22. Back then, he relied solely on his power to take care of business in early rounds with a conditioning, life style and nutrition that were highly deficient. If you remember the first 6 rounds of the Rubio's fight, it was all Lemieux... Rubio swallowed up the shots... and Lemieux repeated Foreman's ill advised game plan against Ali. He got exhausted and Rubio took advantage of it. Lemieux is now a different animal... highly conditioned to be explosive throughout 12 rounds. In fact, we saw in the Rosado fight that Lemieux was still very active and landing hard shots in the 10th round when the fight was stopped. Finally, bear in mind that Lemieux trains at the GYM gym with Marc Ramsay and constantly spars 12 rounders with the likes of Jean Pascal, Artur Beterbiev (who beat Kovalev twice in the amateur ranks and just demolished Tavoris Cloud in 2 rounds), Alvarez, etc... ALL light heavyweights ex-champion (Pascal) or respected contenders... In other words, Lemieux spars with guys that are 15-20 lbs heavier than himself and cannot put them down... but still goes 12 rounds with them... So, he is used to spar with guys 12 rounds when he is not having his way with them. With some more polishing in defense (especially against left uppercuts), GGG will have his hands full with the pretty beast from Canada..

Lemeiux started boxing at 9 and was a 3 time Canadian National Amateur Champion. You have high standards.
