Literally Lemieux stock Exploded last evening.

I guess I'm a casual and I'm OK with that.

B+ guys with power are the best thing in this sport.

Those are the fights that sort divisions out.
They're the dangerous opponents than hype up a (usually boring) showdown between two top boxers.
They're the fights we use to recover after those boring disappointments.

It makes sense, he talked like this is what he wanted, and he delivered in style with an entertaining performance. Well done DL!

B+, as you put it, dont deserve kudos ? gatti made it to the HOF being a C level guy. the word exchange made it bigger than it was too.

make no mistake, lemule will always have that punchers chance. if he decides to fight using some brain cells, he can make it tough for anyone.

Anyone except the top guy at 160. We seen how that played out. Lemieux is easy work, golovkin proved that

lemmy fought like a dummy. and he won the dummy prize. im guessing he does better in a rematch.

[SplitSecond]

Not just the ko, the fight was fireworks. When fast, powerful fighters fight sht looks cool.

One small step for boxing, one big step towards Curtis Stevens retirement.

It was an exciting fight!

I won't mind Curtis pondering for retirement. He had made some good money on the fights with GGG and Lemieux and other fights. He brings good fights.

Yup that's what a great highlight reel knockout will do. Lemieux whether you like him or not is a fun fighter to watch. Skill wise he has many holes which make him vulnerable. On any given night he could lose by getting outboxed or because he gases out late see Rubio fight for example. But he has tremendous 1 punch power so he put anyone to sleep and even when he's out boxed he is just 1 big lucky shot from turning a fight around. It's basically impossible for this man to be in a boring fight. He is your classic all or nothing slugger. Boxing is about entertainment first and foremost. And Lemieux delivers that.

He has tons of options after this win. If GGG ducks a 15mil payday he could slip in and steal that Sept date and fight Canelo. He could fight for Saunders belt. He is definitely big enough to move up and fight anyone of the top names at 168.
