    Lemieux can bang. Regardless, Spike is a tough guy to get down.

    He simply lacks technique.
    Erik will straighten the kid out.

    The reason he Is not getting the savage KOs against middle weights is because he has to be weary of what’s coming back.
    Can’t wreck less trade no more like when he was weight bullying.

    those telegraphed winging shots aren’t going to surprise no one which is how you hurt people.

    the smaller guys would cover up but still get rocked even stunned while blocking. & lord forbid they tried & trade with him. He could just throw winging combos fearlessly.

    against Spike he didn’t have real success until he worked off the jab & disguised his shots behind them.

    When he would land something of note he would revert back to his old form winging shots & spike would then counter him.

    He got the stoppage because he listened to Erik who told him stop throwing hard ... throw jabs & work off of that.
    fundamental cornerstone in boxing.
    In time if he gets better as a technician the KOs will come back.

    11 rounds to KO a guy Lem blasted in 1?

    Munguia is way overrated.

    I don't believe he is featherfisted but he isn't going to be huge puncher at 160 but..


    My favourite British fighter is/was Nigel Benn, when he was at 160 he was a big puncher, no denying it, the man could hit and hit hard.

    He said himself it took him around 12 months to adjust to the higher weight and carry his punching power up and even then he wasn't blasting people out like he did at 160.

    So you never know, if Munguia grows in to the weight correctly then he could end up a very solid puncher.


    Time will tell but it isn't a good look getting dragged that many rounds with an old, past his best Spike.

    Here's the catch though. Golovkin at 45 still KO's Ogre Sarah Silverman clean out of the ****ing ring, Joe Smith Jr style.

    Spike's punches bothered him; GGG's would short-circuit him.

    He looked soft and fleshy to me, at 160, with hardly any definition. He is too small for 160 but too big for 154 as well.

    Loading up with power and still not getting a stoppage victory way earlier is a sure sign that he is lacking firepower too....

    Had the bell not sounded and if Spike had the wherewithal to follow up, and poured it on him when he got rocked, at the very least he could have dropped him a time or two. But judging by the amount of clean shots the ref let him take, and he was the b-side, Spike would have had to kill Munguia to get the KO.

    :lol: Dude is clearly not featherfisted. GTFO.
    But yes, his power has been overrated and his record is a bit deceiving.

    No, I am not saying that he is a puncher. But he has respectable power.

    Yeah, I call BS on that. How can one be too small in one weight class and too big in another? Especially if the difference is just 6lbs?
    The kid is 6ft tall and quite thick. And he was 176lbs or so on fight night against Liam Smith.
    How is a 6ft, 175lb guy too small for middleweight?
