Comments Thread For: Lemieux's Handlers Not Concerned With Latest Performance

Wasnt saunders the favorite going into that fight?

Most fans who were in love with Lemieux's KO percentage gave Saunders NO chance to last the distance let alone win!!

That one sided beat down in which he practically clowned Lemieux in the process raised Saunders profile.

Right. I’m cdn, I’m aware of what Lemieux is. He’s an attraction. He throws about as hard as anyone in boxing while showing sum of the worst foot work u can watch. My biggest dissatisfaction was his long haircut when he fought GGG. Every time he got hit his hair would fly back and sell the punch like he was a pro wrestler. So many people I know mentioned it at the time. I know UK can protect its fighters just like we can, I understand. Was nice to see him spark O’Sullivan though. I don’t doubt that he gets the hometown rub too. I’m always apprehensive of a cdn judges score anywhere if I’m honest. It doesn’t mean we don’t have good people or fans. But if one of our guys shows promise I hope one day we can try and do the things to try and make him the best.

Find another Matthew Hilton... one of the best i have seen out of Canada.

Not a BJS fan but the way he clowned LeMeh



If you stand there and let him tee off......[/QUOTE

Exactly. We just saw Harrison lose focus against Charlo and get rubbed out. BJS boxed circles around “LeMeh” and made his power/skill look like only something a lesser opponent need worry about ( enter Spike O’ ) GGG also walked through it. If BJS gets to fight Nelo, I hope it equals an increased punch output for both and not reduced. I’m just hoping it’s not a stinker.

These guys who depend on power move and think in slo mo. That's why power isn't the weapon it's made out to be once a guy reaches a certain level. That's why we don't get ko's when 2 quality punchers go at it.

I think Nelo will pressure BJS into a fight that's suits Nelo.

I ain’t gonna BS I picked Lemuix to win but not by TKO. I figured he hit harder and fight being in Canada they would give him the decision right or wrong. Wow! Was I ever wrong.

Mathew was a hell of a boxer
His only downfall was being a Hilton
Although Dave could of been special also but he was caught up in booze and dope

Sometimes u hear British analysts describe a fighter with “Everything he throws is all quality innit?” Thats Nelo up and down. I can’t imagine him coming close to throwing a hundred punches in a round and he may never have to. He’s laser focused in there and u have to respect and be concerned with every single shot he throws. It takes a p4p list fighter to be as economical as he is and still generate that type of pressure. Even his opponents can tell his stuff is nicer than there’s. Still I’d love to see him throw 75-100 in a round one day. That would really scare people.

Work rate is nice when it's effective. Then you have guys like Porter and Williams who usually smoother their own combos by being so sloppy.

Nelo is the perfect blend of brains and brawn.

I don’t think anybody had to explain to Nelo how to win the rematch vs GGG. I don’t think the whole world telling GGG how to win the rematch would have helped him.
