    Damn thats a massive difference...it showed on fight night, Lemieux looked huge...
    Do you think if Spike didn't bad mouth Lemieux the way he did it would of still been a first round stoppage?
    The crap Spike was saying really fired him up!

    I've been saying this for years. ...its time to limit the IN RING weights. Cap the weight, cap the disparity allowable etc.

    Strangely enough 20 I don't think Lemmy benefits much from his massive rehydration. I think he is a bad dxample to be using t But guys with bigger frames certainly do...
    Lemmie is a total contradiction. There are office workers with more impressive physiques. Never mind gym bunnies in every second gym whose physiques put his in the shade. He's just plain chubby and flabby in the ring. Yet the power is there. ..he is alitle guy with a small frame. But what power!

    The weight difference was massive, always was going to be. Advantages and disadvantages of carrying a massive amount of extra weight. Carl Froch used to go into ring at 173ib, with only a 5ib gain, but was strong and fit at weight. Bottom line is Spike isnt better than a British level middleweight and Lemeiux is a top 5-6 middleweight. People starting thinking Lemeuix was overrated because of what Saunders done to him, fact is Saunders is a special talent. That and the fact Saunders is all wrong stylewise for Lemeuix, as Lemeuix is for Spike. Always felt Spike would have been better at 154ib, but properly to hard to get down to that weight now.

    Spike got splattered about the ring. As expected. Great timing and placement on that left hook from the lemming.

    Spike in being bang average shocker.

    He was right that Lemmy has one trick. The fact he left himself wide open for it in the 1st round is very telling.

    It was Hatton's "same move every time" all over again.

    It's all about levels. Spike is a better talker hype than he is fighter lemuiex is a good not great fighter but has world level.power
    Look how ggg and bjs dealt with lemuiex and most likely how Canelo will deal with lemuiex next most likely fight for both next

    Pretty embarrassing performance from Spike after all the **** he talked and thinking he was Conor McGregor. Got properly put in his place.
