Comments Thread For: Lemieux: Fielding Not Dangerous; Won't Last Once Canelo Connects

[Alan Smithee]

Don't know enough about " Rocky" but this fight cheapens the DAZN label. I was excited when Canelo signed but was expecting well known opponents. Lemieux is not a top tier guy but would have at least provided name recognition. He obviously cannot make 160 though.

Not because dedication he just to big to keep trying squeeze down to 160lbs and too small for 168lbs and not good enough to demand catch weight fights against the better competition

Lemieux is not a huge MW, he's 5'9" and doesn't have wide shoulders. He often looks like he's carrying an extra 5 pounds of flesh on him. Sometimes he looks doughy and soft and other times he looks lean and in shape. I think it absolutely is lack of dedication. He doesn't keep himself in shape between fights. It's a shame because I enjoy watching David fight. He's limited, but he makes entertaining fights, I always enjoy watching an old school home run hitter throw bombs.

A lot of people will be disappointed looking for a competitive fight tonight. Fielding is a bum. He was dropped (3) times by Callum Smith before that fight was stopped in 2015. The very next fight; he was dropped with a combination to the head in the 2nd rd before holding on to a split decision against some bum named Christopher Rebrasse. He then wins the WBA Super middleweight title from Tyron Zeuge, a decent fighter. Fielding’s chin is suspect so he will get stopped tonite with Canelo picking up another easy belt, the WBA Super middleweight. I would like for Canelo to go back down to middleweight, plenty of good fights there, Andrade, Lemieux, Charlo, Saunders, Jacobs, & GGG again.

Funny; I've got Rocky at about a similar level at 168 as Lemieux is at 160, if not slightly higher. He doesnt telegraph quite as much and is slightly less predictable than Lemieux. The bonus being that Rocky is 6'1" - he will need every millimeter of height and reach advantage he has though to win this, his only real chance is a stoppage.

Your absolutely correct
That’s exactly his problem
To small for super middle and to big for middleweight
Damned if he could , damned if he can’t especially with top fighters
Ironic

This thing will go the distance ... Wide UD for Canelo....

[VatoMulatto]

Probably true, but still... Stfu you clown. Can’t even make weight for every second fight scheduled.

He needs to move up to 168. He's killing himself to make 160 and it's cleary not working anymore.

Lemieux got that punching power that can hurt and knock out anyone. That makes him dangerous no matter who he fights. He's aggressive minded and is constantly looking for the KO so a stoppage win for Lemieux is always a possibilty and that makes him fun to watch.

I don't know much about Rocky but does he have anyting in his game that can trouble and hurt Canelo?
