    Exactly.

    You think of really heavy hitters as being quite limited offensively a lot of the time. Guys like Marcos Maidana and Michael Katsidis, perhaps the two biggest hitters of their respective divisions, really don't display a lot of craft in their work. Lemieux seems to be very well schooled, as evidenced in the old footage of him as a 13-14 year old kid being used in the instructional videos. He's been fighting the majority of his life, he's excellent technically, it just so happens that he's heavy handed, also. This could be a devastating combination, especially if he is to improve further, and only being 22 years old, you'd have to think he will.

    Of course, he could be held back by poor punch resistance or a lack of fighting spirit. That's what makes Boxing so compelling, you can't expect to get to the top and stay there based purely on physical attributes.

    Lots of mentions of Benevides but not too many of Frankie Gomez. I like the look of what I've seen from him.

    Isn't that funny? I like Gomez, a lot actually, I just wished he'd move his head a little more. Armstrong it up.

    Wouldn't bank on that. His dream was, is to become one of the best pros out there - he trashed an olympic run for an early pro start.

    As far as his chin goes, we might just see vs Rubio. I don't think any of the Sturms, Sylvesters or Zbiks would pose a threat to him... Anber cannot leave counterpunching off of the training menu forever. I don't think a lot of MW's will want to trade punches with David.

    This guy is a pimp. A pocket Roy Jones Jr. When he lets his hands go he beats wholesale ass. I wanna see him against better comp now, he has the ability, let's see him against a Ponce De Leon or something get some names on his resume.

    It's easy to look impressive when you're knocking out tomato cans.

    Typical Eurobum.

    He's lucky he caught Danny with a lucky punch or else he would've been taken to school in the second half of the fight.
