I still want to see him drop down to Junior Middleweight. For 2 reasons, the division he's currently in sucks. And he's too small to move up to Super Middleweight.
David Lopez would be the perfect fight, but I doubt his handlers would make that fight, high risk, low reward.
Lemieux is curently 6 by WBC and 5 by the WBA . For the august 14 fight like Maxime already said since only the final will be shown on HBO i don't expect a top contenders they were talking about a 8 rounds fight! But anyway 6,8,10,12 rounds this is David the fight will be finish under 4 rounds :yep
Its like he was saying 'oh well, you wanted to brawl so dont puss out on me now'. Im becoming a big fan of this guy.
Maxime and Badlock are right. Aug. 14 will only be a stay busy fight against a top 30 fighter. Right after his last fight, his coach Russ Ander has been questioned about a possible Aug. 14 fight. Russ said that despite the kid only worked for 2 mins, his training camp was very long and hard. The kid needs to recover. So, as Russ was not really enthusiast with the idea, we can't expect a big name. But it will come sooner or later...and the kid is quite entertaining to watch!
