Comments Thread For: Lemieux Misses Weight, Fight With de la Rosa is OFF

[CaneloMaidana]

... Golovkin sends all his former opponents into a deep state of confusion...

Or he fights no hopers.

[kafkod]

At least Canelo honours his catch weights Lool

Oh really?

[MDPopescu]

Martinez, Chavez Jr, Floyd, Ward, Froch, Canelo etc where were or are they???
... do you have an idea, luv?

Why would they cancel the fight? The fight was at 163, he weighs 165, you'd imagine they could just throw down some extra cash towards la Rosa and go forward. I mean it's James De la Rosa, not some high profile fighter, in what is essentially a tune up or bounce back fight. I guess de la Rosa is sticking to his guns, which is admirable, but at the same time you'd think Golden Boy would do what it takes to work something out and to avoid the embarrassment.

at lemule talking **** about how he's not gonna make up any weight classes he's gonna be fighting at 160 blah blah blah.... & the contracted weight for this fight was 163.... lemuleweight.

[Szef]

I guess he figured Canelo has 155...GGG has 160..he will just take over at 165.5

Lol didn't he say you can't make up catch weight? An he misses it. This dude is a tomato can refused to give Rubio a rematch

Not the same though since this a non-title fight, non-title eliminator and non-important fight. We always see fights like this above the limit (especially early in guys careers). What Canelo is doing is defending the WBC title & the Lineal Title at a weight class he's invented, that's what Lemeiux was taking issue with.

It is very unprofessional of Lemieux to miss weight though, regardless of the weight or circumstances. It's embarrassing.

Hahahaha.

If you want to be a middleweight, fight at middleweight.

[daggum]

why can't they fight at 165.6? the lemiuex division. everyone else is making up their own divisions.
