    Why celebrate a half-hearted effort that turned the guy into a Walking Dead extra?

    I think it was a dumb move on DL's part to waste his opportunity to blow this guy away on a platform this big, but it means nothing as to his H2H ability with the other middleweights.

    Worst undercard I've seen in a long long long time. Awful.

    Lemieux destroyed Reyes, what is wrong with is performance, did he need to murder Reyes. Reyes show godlike chin.

    You could easily give Reyes 4 out of the 10 rounds, how is that getting destroyed? lol

    I'd still say Lemmy has the speed, power and aggression to blow out anyone in 3. He has the speed to land a lot of good hard shots. His problem is he has no defence besides his offence and if he slows down and tires then he tends to eat a lot of shots

    Not many of Lemieux's opponents have managed to avoid tasting the canvas during their fights against him. Only a very small few I think. The group that have managed to avoid getting hurt is even smaller. Reyes earned his place in the former. Tough guy and a huge heart.

    Well the big one next, got my Chavez Jr hat on, hoping he can pull off the upset.

    It's a big ask, Canelo 1/6 Fav but I've seen bigger upsets before and would love to see Chavez Jr do the business tonight and watch Oscar have a nervous breakdown at ringside.

    DL got too caught up in scoring an early sensational KO of Reyes and didn't get it. If he would have fought smarter, invested in the body early, I think he could've stopped Reyes. But, fair play to Reyes, he showed chin, heart, and fought well.

    Exactly... Most of the division would have gone down from those shots, even some top 10 fighters. We've known that Lemieux is technically limited long before tonight, nothing has changed. Not sure what these people are going on about.

    The guy that they are using as JCC Sr in that tv show looks older than Chavez himself right now and he is supposedly a prime Chavez.

    I am SERIOUSLY willing Chavez to do this. As I will also be for Fonfara when he faces Chickenson.
