Once Lemieux destroys Spike, can we stop all this Spike vs Canelo/GGG talk? Or any other top MW?

Spike beating Lemieux warrants a title chance more than "big" Charlo that's a fact.

 

From what I've seen of Spike he's a relatively handy boxer who should not be underestimated. While he is not great he's better than many of the fighters who have played the contender role at middleweight in recent years.

He's obviously no Saunders in the skills department, but he's got more than enough ability to make it a decent fight with Lemieux tonight. The problem is obviously that David hits like a mule. If Spike can avoid the big punch and take Lemule deep he's got a shot at the decision or maybe even a late surprise stoppage.

 

Never liked him. Don't feel like he is relevant at all. The real question is if he is more relevant than Monroe Jr. right now in MW division.

 

Awhile back I would have agreed with this wholeheartedly, but it appears that the secret to beating Lemieux is out: do not allow him to plant his feet. David can't get much leverage on his punches unless he plants. If Spike can utilize movement and throw on the go he can win the fight.

 

Spike hits hard and I don't think Lemieux is the most durable fighter. I also think Spike is a bit more skilled than Lemieux. I'm going with the upset here.

 

Consider Spike destroyed

 

Easy work

 

Told you so.

 

Spike is going to give him a good fight..just watch.
