David Lemieux vs. James De La Rosa

A club show in a 1500 seater,A former world champ fighting a guy who didn't even have one fight in 2015.
Pass on this farce,thanks.

 

DLR needs to learn to box for 10-12 rounds he doesn't know how to pace himself. When he fights behind a jab, he usually does good, especially against shorter opponents. Obviously Lemieux can take a punch and can finish it with one, DLR will have to fight the fight of his life and have a perfect fight just to go the distance. Lemieux will want to use Dlr as a ko highlight reel to send a message to the rest of the middleweights he's still a player at 160. Other than GGG and possibly Canelo, Lemieux can beat just about anyone else. A Lemieux vs Lara fight would be interesting in the future.

 

That's a good fight, both are fringe contenders, I lean toward Lemieux, but he really looked like a complete novice against Golovkin.

I think DLR is just too easy to hit.

 

Why? Because you don't find either of them physically attractive like you do Wilder and Mayweather?

Wilder fought a CW soccer fan and you acted like he KO'ed a Prime Tyson.

This is a fight between two fighters on the comeback trail. One (Lemieux) lost to the P4P best.

 

But you'll watch Wilder fight a CW..:yep:

 

A 6'3 234 lb. CW?

I figure De La Rosa can be crafty and outhustle Lemieux.
IMO it all comes down to what Rosa has been doing this past year. Has he been in the gym, has he been trying to improve? Lemieux is a one trick pony; an average fighter with lots of power.

If Rosa comes in at his best, he will have plenty for Lemieux to handle if not even too much. But i figure Lemieux gets him out of there.

 

lol!

 

Rosado would beat him in a rematch :deal

 

david lemieux is a class fighter its just ggg is a monster..i dont see many fighters beating lemieux at middleweight personally id have cotto vs lemieux

 

On a related note, Centeno had a fairly wasted 2015

 

I can only see one outcome.....

Lemieux by late stoppage.

Lemieux, seems to have sorted the stamina issues, and has something resembling a jab now, along with better patience.

DLR can certainly outbox Lemieux, but i don't see him having enough to discourage Lemieux, or be able to keep out of trouble for the whole fight.
