Comments Thread For: Dehydrated Lemieux Hospitalized, Won't Fight Tureano Johnson

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

David Lemieux's continuous troubles making 160 pounds probably cost him a shot at Canelo Alvarez. Lemieux suffered from severe dehydration Friday morning, before he was scheduled to weigh in for a 10-round middleweight match on the Alvarez-Rocky Fielding undercard Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. Lemieux was taken to a Manhattan hospital and the Lemieux-Johnson bout was removed from what was a 10-bout card, according to a report by Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix, also a member of DAZN's broadcasting team.

Jesus Christ, David. Just go on a ****ing diet.

Couldn't they have just bumped it up to a catchweight of like 164 or something?

Jesus Christ, David. Just go on a ****ing diet.

Or move to 168 & stop hanging around middleweight trying to get a Canelo fight.

dude needs to trim the weight when he's not in camp.. clearly to small to fight @168..if he can't make 160 then the best thing for him is to retire..top 168 pounders will beat with ease

He's in bad dehydration state, very low pressure and stuff... he needs care, no catch weight...

He would probably do just as fine at SMH.... Killing all but the top 3 -5 ...

Better safe than sorry. Horrible team , trainer , and Lemieux blows up between fights his job to stay in good shape all year not camp to lose weight but to sharpen skills oh yeah just big power not much skill

Canelo vs. Lemieux at 168 for the title on Cinco De Mayo - I already see the build up.

He's had trouble making MW since 2016. Not sure why he keeps trying. Same as Brook talking about WW.
