Good luck to Lemieux tonight. It's great to see such a young guy fighting a tough opponent like this. Hope he does the business. If he blows away Ayala he could possibly damage his career by scaring off potential opponents!! I hope it goes the distance, as it would serve him well to get rounds under his belt.
Being muscular is not essential to be a big puncher(Tommy Hearns,Trinidad just to name a few).Some guy just have this natural power.Like Lemieux.And yes to me Lemieux look very fast.Especialy when he throw combinations.
Timing and technique. Just tonight, Paul McCloskey, (who isn't a KO artist by any stretch) just destroyed Guiseppe Lauri with one perfect shot. Guy was ****ed up, couldn't get up for about a minute. If you land the right shot, power is secondary.
