YES! Summer 2014 possibility: David Lemieux vs Curtis Stevens

Bombs Away. Or... Monster Left Hooks away. That is all. :smoke

War of the Year candidate. For the NABF freakin title mind you, but a war regardless.

Stevens is fighting TBA in April, Lemieux is headlining a card in Montreal in April as well. Might get this fight in the summer.

David has learned not to blow his load early. His fought a great fight vs Torres. Might very well get put down by Stevens but it's worth a shot... I was at the Bell Centre for the Rubio loss, I'll be there if he fights Stevens.

All we need now is an interview with Elvin Ayala on who punches harder.

Talked about. The minor title they're gunning for first is the NABF, which has Lemieux and Stevens as top 2 "contenders" for the vacant title. They want to throw Lemieux in a world title shot by the end of the year if he's successful with the step-up (not likely to be the April fight, probably another card he'll be headlining in the summer with Stevens as a strong possibility).

Who knows, HBO liked Stevens going rounds with Golovkin and they were present for the Lemieux-Torres fight on the Bute-Pascal card, just not broadcasting it. Could be part of a split-site broadcast for HBO's BAD.

 

Stevens' next fight is in Pennsylvania, and Lemieux is headlining in Montreal in April. $2 says the fight will be held in Montreal if it happens.

 

It's too bad GYM likely can't bring Alcine back to Montreal for a rematch, David was gunshy at times and his punch selection sucked the rest of the time. Alcine now trains in the US and doesn't want to know. Lemieux learned a lot in the Upshaw fight and put it into practice against Torres.
