    I wanted to see this fight, should be a banger. People talking how Lemieux is done, flaws, etc, but Benavidez has flaws too. Lemieux will test that chin early. Benavidez is a huge target and you have to fight him and not let him bully you early. He didn't look good early in his last fight.

    Interesting fight for sure, but i think Benevidez will be too strong though and his speed will be too much for Lemmy to deal with. I think Benevidez stops him late.

    I love Lemieux also. He's our modern day Gatti. Been following his career since 2011.

    Lemieux is over the hill I'm afraid. Still, with his power anything is possible.

    Why does he have to face guys from 160 to get consideration for a guy in his own division at 168? Just shows 168 is a weak division.

    Rooting for Lemieux though its a tall order. Benavidez is the better all around boxer and naturally bigger man.

    Lemieux will be on the end of the jab all night and eventually get picked off by quick combos.

    He may well not hear the final bell here and get pulled out by his corner.
