Lemieux lost to a fairly decent and undisputably hard hitting MW whereas Kirkland was floored three times in round 1 v. a feather fisted journeyman. So yeah, neither.
Right now, thinking of the guys who fought this weekend, Lemieux seems like he would eat Kirkland up, and probably go and fight a real opponent later on the night.
BTW Kellerman mentioned smthing about Kirkland being hurt vs. a nobody recently. Looks like James left his chin in the prison, he used to take a good punch. Very interesting.
I can only come to one conclusion. The first shot Lemieux lands the fight is over. Easy KO win for the kid.
Lemiuex will probably come back from that loss...Rubio can really punch and took the kid into deep waters...He just fell short this time. Kirkland will never, ever live that fight down however...thats the worst display of chin I've seen since Khan-Prescott...and its far worse then even that.
How long is this dream match up scheduled for? If it is a 30 second fight I give Kirkland a punchers chance.
