Lemieux cheated. Why are y'all praising him?

I mean it's not like he's being touted around as a top fighter after that. People just liked the knockout but idk how many more doors that even opened for Lemieux.

The NY commission has no requirements to do a 2nd weigh in. This is only a rule specific to the title this fight was supposed to be for & therefore he didn't win that title. Its not cheating if the commission doesn't require it.

B+ troll thread doe.

Seriously, he looked like a LHW in there with LW arms.

it is kind of a competitive advantage if your opponent abides by those rules under the belief that you will too.

This was a blatant case of cheating. When they signed this fight Lemieux agreed to fight for that secondary IBF title. He changes his mind after the weigh in and didn't inform Stevens.

Stevens is following the rehydration clause while fatty Lemieux doesn't have a worry in the world.

Lemieux has had problems making weight before. No drug testing for this fight. Lemieux is allowed to cheat and there's no penalty. He wasn't fined or had to compensate Stevens.

One guy followed the rehydration rule. The other guy didn't. Lemieux deserves no credit for this win.

If true, Lemieux really cheated...

Knit picking! Lemieux fought the fight fair and square! He blasted poor Stevens out cold! The fight is what counts! Nonsense talk!

Lemieux Misses Second-Day IBF Weigh-In for Stevens Fight

http://www.boxingscene.com/lemieux-misses-second-day-ibf-weigh-stevens-fight--114493

David Lemieux made weight without issue Friday afternoon for his fight Saturday night against Curtis Stevens. We’ll never know, however, if Lemieux would’ve met the IBF’s second-day weigh-in obligation. Lemieux missed the IBF’s second-day weigh-in entirely Saturday morning in Verona, New York. Handlers for Lemieux (36-3, 32 KOs), who has held the IBF middleweight title, told Stevens’ handlers that they didn’t know about the second-day weigh-in for their 12-round middleweight match. In accordance with IBF rules, fighters cannot weigh more than 10 pounds over their division’s limit at weigh-ins conducted the morning after an official weigh-in.
