****David Lemieux: The Long Road to Middleweight Greatness****

:yikes

You won't be getting it live?

 

I could but I'd have to pay. I prefer waiting 2 more hours to get it for free.

11pm for us Quebecers, 4am for you Irishmen.

 

im hoping its not gonna be another Lemieux 1-2 rounder.... though that would be very exciting.

David really needs to put some rounds in the bank vs tough competition, for continued growth & resilience. I'd like to see a competitive fight and a possible KO in the later mid rounds. MAR should give him that competitive fight....

 

It's on the ESPN 3 website. You don't have to pay or anything to watch it. I don't know what time it comes out in your countries, but it's coming on at 9:00 here in the states.

 

I thought the PPV was on delay atsch. Anyway, you're dead right, I wouldn't pay that crazy amount either.

 

Damn!!!

 

Looks like young David just did a complete 180 at Rubio's front door.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

The next RJJ right here :yep.

 

Well, looks like the road got a bit longer. *sigh*

 

Looks like the road got a little longer lol.

Hubris is a *****.

 

True, but he's still an exciting all-action puncher, who could still produce some really fun fights in the division. Something tells me that we'll be seeing him on TV, and tuning in, for a while yet. Worst fates to have, all things considered.:good

 

Plus, let's not forget, he's only 22. He's got time to develop, and learn from this experience.

And now that people will likely stop referring to him as the next great middleweight, there's a good chance that he'll become a much better and more well rounded fighter now that he realizes that it's good to have a plan B when your initial plan of not being to knock someone's head off goes out the window.

And, as a fan of his, I hope that's what happens as a result of this.

By the way, props to Rubio, for showing some serious calm in the face of the storm.:thumbsup

 

Oh absolutely- I'm certainly not throwing in the towel on the kid. :good

I think he got caught up in wanting to look good and blow out Rubio to impress the fans and HBO (and everyone else) and never adjusted as a result. He can learn from this, and it wasn't the kind of thing that should lose him fans (except for the fickle ****s lol). I think he should spend the next year or two building himself back up and getting rounds in the bank before making another serious run at the title, but I don't doubt he'll at least do enough to get a chance at a title by then.
