Could very well happen, but at this point I think it's pretty much a toss-up. Quillin certainly isn't all that, but Lemieux has his weaknesses.
Quillin looks like he freaks out when he gets landed on and Lemieux can definitely crack. i don't know that he just walks through Kid Undercard though. He definitely has a good chance at lifing that WBO belt though...probably by stoppage if he wins. If 'the money right" and the fight "makes sense" what would the main event be on the fight card?
Lemieux v Quillen would be a great fight. Its not going the distance either way. Personally I think David more than likely ko's Peter.
we will never know, because Kid Chicken and his team seem determined to milk the WBO scrap for as long as possible against outmatched handpicked opponents
Pete did panic a bit during the Rosado fight, and David can land a lot hard than Rosado. People forget Rubio had to survive a storm until Lemieux punched himself out. Originally I thought Quillin-Lemieux would fit perfect under the Hopkins-Stevenson card, but given Lemieux's history of being a headliner before losing to Rubio, he and Quillin can hold their own card.
Quillen can be hit and has shown vulnerability and Lemieux has good power, but I would give the edge to Quillen in this one. Not much but an edge. Lemieux would definitely outwork Quillen while he can but I suspect Lemieux gets careless coming in and Quillen catches him. Quillen has deceptively decent power.
Great fight Lemiux hits like a tank but has limitations and is wild at times. Qullin i don't rate to high but he is a solid level fighter, he needs to stop handpicking opponents and fight top contenders, The winner of Qullin vs Jacobs should fight Lemiux.
Lemieux can hurt any MW he lands cleanly on, but I felt that he was just looking for the big shot last night, and I wouldnt be shocked if Quillin outboxed him. I would favour Quillin who I think can raise his game
Would be an amazing match-up, two huge power punching guys with shaky whiskers - guaranteed KO. Could go either way really.
But Lemieux has a tendency to gas after the 6th rd......Rubio aint pretty but he's iron. Lemiuex thought b/c Rubio was absorbing all that punishment early that'd he'd KO himAnd Lemieux gassed.:yep I don't think Quillin is gonna stand and trade vs Lemieux....he showed in the Konecny fight that he can fight from the outside vs more crude fighters.....he learned from the Rosado fight that a solid punch could end him, so he played it smart vs Konencny and played the perfect part. Wearing Konency down over the distance. Can Lemiuex take advantage of Quillins newfound respect for opponents????:think Maybe so......or he may go all guns ablazing and get himself armweary and stopped again himself. 50/50 fight with Quillin have more ways he can come out on top.:deal
