    I'm Sorry, But I'm So Sick of Bums

    It really bothers me, when professional boxers completely lack fundamentals. Seriously, what kind of trainer allows their fighter to get in the ring, knowing they can't box worth shit? Don't they know that punching power, alone, can only get you so far? They need to make it so that you can't be a professional, unless you have a good understanding of the craft. I predicted that Saunders could beat Lemieux via wide UD. Why? Because the only things Lebum has are KO power and a decent chin. He literally spent 12 rounds walking forward and eating punches, hoping that he could land one great shot. Lemieux has amazing power that he doesn't know how to use, properly. Why? Because his trainer taught him jack shit about how to box. For fuck's sake, I'm not asking for everyone to be Mayweather or anything, I'm just sick of seeing professional boxers with no skills, whatsoever. What do you guys think?

    Lemieux just working on jab would go a long long way.

      Lemieux needs to replace his trainer, ASAP. His performance has horrific.

            Lmaooo I understand your grievance, it isn’t that simple when it comes to training a fighter certain styles, some boxers fall in love with their power. And they would abandon everything else, that happened with Prince Naz. I prefer the boxer/mover sort of style but I still think every boxer has to learn to work through a jab. Don’t just come forward looking to land something big.

              Skills>Power ANY DAY! If you take away the only thing they can do like what happened to Cletus Seldin and David Lemieux, then what they have, well the answer is NOTHING!

              Power make headlines and make for "cute" highlight reels but "Skills Pay The Bills"
