Comments Thread For: Stevens to Lemieux: Bring Smelling Salts for the KO, Pretty Boy!

[TheUptownKid]

Both are flawed boxers which leads to exciting action. Not interested as a tactical fan but as an action/ fight fan I'm pumped.

[RomanReigns]

yeah cause you like fake fights anyway, fvkin loser.

lemieux should win but i can see him getting caught with that left hook of stevens which can change the entire fight.

Both are bums. I don't respect boxers who lost to rubio, brinkley, Primera, Alcine, and n'dam. The Middleweight Division is pure garbage.

[Citizen Koba]

N'dam is a decent B rate contender. Lemeuix dominated him from pillar to post, stevens was outclassed.

Backing GGG up?? heheh no, just no. It was an easy fight for GGG, so was lemeuix

Umm.... it was a good fight from what I recall, what mainly seperated them was the KDs (similar to Quillin vs N'Dam) though undoubtedly Lemieux did better than Stevens.



N'Dam won 5 or 6 rounds according to the judges and most had him outboxing Lemieux comfortably in the second half. If the dude could just avoid getting caught up in pointless firefights and stay on his feet I'd have him close to the top of the division. Then again I freely admit to being one of the few N'Dam cheerleaders around here.

He's a KO of the year contender, n'hdam. I disagree and have the statistics to prove it, landing 48% of your power shots and dropping your opponent 4 times is a domination.

Check out the boxing scene article. http://www.boxingscene.com/compubox-...on-ndam--92696 Saying it was a domination is not far fetched. I heard Raphael talking about how d'hdams corner said he took too much damage that fight and could have stopped it. Two ringside judges scored it 115-109 and the other 114-110, all for 26-year-old Lemieux. Again, a domination is not an exaggeration in this case

Well, yeah. The KDs obviously made it a very clear win, but the ringside scoring is telling here - those scores for Lemieux 115 and 114 x 2 indicate that he lost 5 or 6 rounds. When the comparison you're drawing is over Stevens and Lemieuxs boxing ability I was just pointing out that an alternative way of looking at it was how many rounds each lost against N'Dam - maybe 5 or 6 in the case of Lemieux, 8 or 9 in the case of Stevens (and Perhaps 7 or 8 in the case of Quillin in my book - had he not had the KDs in the 12th I could have had N'Dam edging it). Clearly this still favours Lemieux over Stevens but to simply call it a 'domination' really doesn't tell the full story in this instance. It was actually a damn good fight in my book.

Definitely looking forward to this fight, alot of previous posters have stated all the reasons why: both have serious power, both have flaws. I'd say Lemiuex is the more dynamic fighter, Stevens can seem to be in a lull or disinterested at times. My gut says that Lemiuex will win ny late round stoppage but I could also see Stevens catching Lemiuex early. Either way this fight brings strong personalities, power punching and high drama. I couldn't ask for much more.

[Sid-Knee]

I think Lemieux will be smart in this fight. He'll look to box a bit and not get involved. There's no way he'll brawl with Stevens.

Lemieux by UD or late stoppage.

[PunchyPotorff]

You probably don't remember the fight and talking out your @ss. Stevens by far had the best performance out of any fighter against GGG, barring Kassim Ouma.

And I don't care how Lemieux performed against Ndam, Ndam and GGG are two completely different fighters. I just don't see the rationale for Lemieux knocking Stevens out faster than GGG.

I don't remember seeing Stevens backing GGG up. Maybe I need to watch it again, but I remember the typical old Stevens waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting.... Then it was stopped. Maybe he'll be better and let his hands go this time, since he has a new trainer. I hate it that he's been an underachiever for so many fights there. Right now, I pick Lemieux by UD or late stoppage. Should definitely been a good action fight though, for however long it lasts.

[Beercules]

One thing for sure: someone is getting KTFO.

[Eastcoast]

Lemieux controlled N'Dam until he gassed by the mid to late rounds, then N'Dam took over. Stevens was never in the fight with N'Dam. But that's all moot. Styles make fights, and Lemieux's aggressive style plays in favor of Stevens counter punching behind a guard.

I really believe this will be a fun fight. Unlike Provodnikov/Matthysse, I don't think Lemieux nor Stevens can play a spoiler to other, neither seems to have that much of an advantage in boxing ability.
