I just seen this on boxrec, It is on the under card of pavlik v hopkins on HBO PPV, I think he will get beat.
Steve Luevano will stop Dib late on IMO. Luevano aint a huge puncher or anything...but he is a technical southpaw...something Dib will have never faced at such a high level.
Steve Has a new trainer and is workin on his power more, always good to watch imo, i see Steve gettin the KO before 6. Kegsy is right, Dib hasnt faced a guy like this yet. Gonzo, man i love that gif of Winky, i was doin some boxing last night, so i showed the guy im teaching it, i said this is perfect, do this with your one two, ....but he was just like yup, yup, i dont think he understood at all
Yeah I agree with most of you guys, I seen Steve a couple of times on top rank PPV he look quick and has good boxing skills but lacks power and his last fight on the Pac v daiz PPV it was a very tough fight for him.
If i was Dib i would have targeted someone like that Antonio Davis...the guy Luevano beat on near shutout a couple fights back now.
I think Dib has chance. He has to bring his A game. he has to stop showwboating and keep his hands up. Cuz his chin is sus. I reckon he has a good chance. Linares would def destroy Dib. Luevano is alot easier...a fair chance. Depends though which Dib shows up. If he is fit and won't lose stamina def a chance..:good
Obviously some clown at boxrec as jumped the gun on this or just made it up. Leuvano is one of the weaker champs at 126. Dib has a much better chance here than he would against Linaries or John. Guererro may well brutalize Dib but at Billy would have a decent chance of outboxing him, at least for a little while. I would go as far to say that Luevano is a harder task than Guererro because Steve wont give Billy an inch and will try to win every round convincingly. Did anyone see Luevano's last fight? I heard he struggled.
Don't be shocked to see DIB GET ANOTHER WIN since it is a Goldenboy card and we all know Dib doesn't have to win fights to get wins.
He'll be the underdog in any fight against top liners. Leuvano doesn't have much of a crack though, so the risk is worth the reward. Sounds like it's all BS anyway at this point.
