Headlining on Saturday in Québec. Lemieux, who is ranked top five at super middleweight by three orgs (WBC #3, WBA #4, and WBO #5) is riding a streak of three consecutive wins in as many years since the lopsided defeat to BJS. His opponent, a spoiler and counter-puncher of Congolese provenance who likes to set traps and jump in with light ambush combos to score points before tying up and pushing off, last saw action in 2018 and is 1-3 since going into the David Benavidez fight an undefeated prospect (stopped in all three losses, including a KO1 blitz at the hands of "Sir" Marcus Browne).
This seems like a pretty obvious Lemieux kayo victory, with a high probabiliy of not lasting more than a minute if he bursts out strong from the gate and manages to lay a clean touch on Ntetu - but, this will be a good barometer of a couple of things: a) how much rust has set in with ten months on the shelf b) whether he continues to look as underwhelming at 168 as he did in the Bursak fight (especially the first half of it) ...and if the answers to both are unflattering, and he can't put gloves on him, Ntetu might be slippery enough to mug his way to surviving to a UD loss and making Lemieux look like shit.
Arslanbek Ruslanovich "The Lion" Makhmudov gonna murder "Big Country" Dillon Robert Carman in the HW co-feature, in his second NABF heavyweight title defense. Seriously, paramedics should be on standby.
