Official: HBO Boxing David Lemieux vs Curtis Stevens

[A.K]

Yes, and he still hasn't. He will this month though.
If you're pissed because I think Lemieux is a sloppy boxer and finishing Curtis Stevens hasn't spellbound me, then sorry guy. I'm happy with the fight, I picked Lemieux to win, but in still not sold on him. It's fkn Curtis Stevens. Calm down.

Ok so this Saturday no excuses?

[GMAN SUPREME]

No of course not those guys are ATG fighters unlike Lemiux.

I also wouldn't compare Hopkins losing to Roy Jones and Lemiux losing to Rubio

hopkins losing to a bum before fighting jones jr is what I'm referring to, numb nuts. lemieux is not the same fighter he was when he fought rubio

Stop reading what Maxi and Jubei say, I've got nothing personal against GG. In fact, I'm a little conflicted because I like both he and Danny J. Danny has a great story but I like Golovkin much better as a fighter.

Criticizing a guy's resume is just honesty. I love Calzaghe but his resume was not strong. Same for some of my other faves like Vitali. Hell, I like Guerrero and he's fking awful. Lol.

I ****ing fell asleep during the Gamboa fight..only to wake up to see Stevens sleeping

Thank god for technology and being able to rewind

Nasty short hook from Lemieux

Ok even better let's compare Hopkins losing to a "bum" in his professional debut in a 4 round fight by decision to Lemieux getting tko'd in a title eliminator....

lol. You won't hear me saying it after he finishes Danny. I'm consistent like that.

Curtis Stevens had his chin tucked well and was absorbing most of the bombs well, though I'm sure he was hurting from taking all that leather. I thought Lemieux was going to exhaust himself fight if he didn't either hurt Stevens or KO him. Maybe it was a good strategy to fight with all guns blazing. That's the scariest KO I've seen in awhile.

22 years old with 24 fights under his belt. Seems like enough experience to beat a guy of Rubio's caliber.

Point is Lemiux isn't a B+fighter, he has A level power but his overall skill level isn't anywhere near elite.

Agreed. People fall in love with power punchers. Lemieux is not exceptional on any level other than power and as soon as he faces another top notch boxer, his limitations will show. Stevens has never been that good. He's short, with short arms, a strange tick with his foot and very basic offense and sub par defense. Hell, he may actually have shorter arms than David who has T-Rex arms, especially for that division. Thankfully, the division is horrid so he may actually be in the top 5 at 160.
