Lemieux is sparing with top fighter. He is seeing good opposition, world class fighter like Pascal. Those fight are for the promoter only. Lemieux is still well trained regardless of the sometime crappy "official" fights.
shitty opponnent but he's got 2 fights scheduled in early 2011 and one is already vs Rubio for the right to fight Martinez so I'm not too worried, maybe it was the best they could get on short notice and short cash for a stay busy fight
