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

[pedrito]

I'm one inch shorter than LEMIEUX and I got down to 140 from 180 without problems.I can still healthily cut 5, possibly 10 more pounds. How an athlete like him can't is beyond me, just irresponsible. I used to eat junk good on the daily, had the worst habits, just commited to cutting all the crap and have been on intermittent fasting for 4 years.

Mate, everyone's body is a world to itself.

Just because you can do X it doesn't mean someone else has to be able to easily, or at all. Some people can cut weight easily, others can't. No need to go on a judging spree about a man you know nothing about.

I hope Tureano Johnson can get another fight. I know Hearn is planning a card in Philly so Johnson vs Rosado would be a good fight.

I could be wrong, but Lemieux has the look of a man to me who simply doesn't diet like he should throughout training camp. I think he probably eats what he wants (within reason) and then tries to cut all the excess weight in water weight right before the weigh in. A lot of fighters cut water weight, but typically they diet too. Something tells me Lemieux doesn't.

He never looks in great shape (an indicator of simply losing water rather than fat to make weight) and he isn't even that big for 160lbs. He would be too small for 168lbs, there is no way he could compete there at a high level. He needs to bring in a nutritionist who can put him on a proper diet plan in order to make weight in a healthier way and in doing so he would probably perform better too, but that would require some discipline and sacrifice and I'm not sure he's willing to make it at this stage of his career.

you go to feel bad for Tureano he is phukin snake bitten. Was beating the hell out of Stevens way up on the cards get's caught in the final round. Fights his way back from the loss earned a mandatory shot for GGG's belt get's injured so they give his spot away to house arrest Wade. That injury he had kept him out of boxing almost 2 years. Gave a great show in a title eliminator with Dervy close fight get's stopped in the last round. Get's injured again year and a half layoff. Get's a shot at Lemieux on a Canelo undercard with a lot of eyeballs on the fight and Lemieux misses weight fight canceled.

David needs to move up to 168 already!!

This is like the 4 or 5th time he's had to back out or cancel a fight because he couldn't make weight!!! SMDH!

Watch your damn self before you end up with those keys as teeth

EVERY PERSON IS CAPABLE of applying discipline and losing weight.

I gain pounds easily so I only eat once a day and still doing so I JUST MAINTAIN WEIGHT. I had to eat just a turkey wrap without anything else for months to cut. Its all about sacrifice and I follow David on IG and he gets chubby between fights and eats whatever.

*slaps you so hard*

His IG bio reads "Anything can be done, just do it."

Bummer. Was looking forward to this fight. Not sure how David handles his weight loss and camps but he either needs a new approach or needs to campaign at 168. He may be stronger at the super middleweight limit but he'd be facing some guys much bigger. I couldn't imagine him trying to land on a guy like Callum Smith...

You seem like a Canelo hater,....
If that's the case then you're a disgrace for going against your own kind,....

This is the funniest sh.it ive heard in a long time. Thanks for the laughs mijo.

[Dreamking]

bro move to 168! Nobody wants you killing yourself to make weight!

[Afi23]

When your body can't make 160lbs but also isn't built for 168lbs...
I still wish for the best for my hometown fighter Lemieux.
