    Nothing to do with boxing but for the record.

    And i think that is important for the business side of boxing (marketing of Lemieux)

    David speaks :

    French (his father is french)

    English (mother)

    Spanish

    Armenian ( mother)

    Libanease (his coach Russ Amber)

    The kid as good looking a la De LaHoya

    The kis as great punching power


    It's a great thing for boxing. The world of boxing needs charismatics figures and David will be one of them for the years to come i hope.


    I love MMMA but i prefer Boxing

    In Montreal we already have GSP (St-Pierre) but with Bute and Pascal who are become more popular around the world, we are in business.

    Because of Bute and Pascal, Lemieux is a little bit under the radar in Montreal right now but i think that he will become the most popular boxer in the USA and Europe

    Russ Anber is Lebanese? I've only ever heard him speak French and English.

    How did it come about? It's not exactly a language you just pick up through your trainer.

    Well, he's worked with his trainer since he was 9 years old... And he also learnt Spanish from his Cuban physical trainer Pedro Diaz and it took him like 1 or 2 years.

    I'm honestly more surprised Russ Anber is Lebanese.

    It's impressive if true, I can understand learning Spanish in 2 years but Arabic is different story. I used to work with a guy that studied it for 8 years and is still not fluent.

    Lebanese Arabic is simpler, right?
