so what happened? Was he hurt or was it in between rounds?
He got hit with a temple shot that dropped him (Lemieux was hurt but not dropped by a similar punch in the previous round when he got wild and was countered) and the corner threw in the towel in the follow up barrage.Quote:

Yeah, I agree. Rubio is never anything but pure class in both victory and defeat, it'd be nice to see him treated the same way.Quote:

I can understand the corner stepping in, he didn't really understand how to survive, he's young, he'll come back.
It wasn't necessarily a stupid stoppage, I just thought it was very premature, especially given that his corner stopped it.Quote:

I took Lemieux to win as well, Rubio gets lazy early on, I didn't think he would have stood up to the initial assault, but he proved me (and most) wrong.Quote:

Lemieux started looking frustrated from the second round on.
As soon as he realized he wasn't going to hurt Rubio with one punch he had no idea what to do.Quote:

Yeah he just could not find a comfortable range either. He was looping his punches more than he ever has. He is an example of a fighter falling in love with their power. He was loading up instead of making things happen. Rubio, just sat back, weathered his storms and waiting for Lemieux's fire to settle a tiny bit. He then started opening up. Once Lemieux started backing up, he was already done.Quote:

I agree 100%. Lemiuex's punches were just ridiculously wild at times. He really needs to settle down in there.Quote:

As you said Lemieux simply grew frustrated, got wild and ran out of gas. He could rebound well from this. I hope so because he is an exciting fighter.Quote:

Yes. WIllie Nelson can't take a punch for shit. No wonder they've had him fighting guys who would get cut from Bumfights...Quote:

And down goes Nelson.
Nelson's fight plan seems to be flail, scream, and run away.
Arroyo is gonna lose this by posing on how he's not hurt.
How does this fucking joke of a ref take a point from Arroyo for holding earlier and then not penalize Nelson here? This is just stupid.
Poor ol' Willie has the Paul williams frame and a Tye fields chin.
3 KD's against the unbeaten prospect in an 8 round fight. Who else senses a draw coming?
Vinsanity?
Bwahahahahah. If I had caught that before the fight I wouldn't have been cheering for him quite so hard.
Is that a injured bird screaming in the audience :-\
O'conners gets hit....alot! And why is he standing in the corner
Martinez would beat Lemieux like a drum, He is very telegraphed...and square
Guess I'll go again...Rubio is wilting a bit but David is showing pretty one dimensional. Kinda reminds of Vinny Paz way he loads up wide
His legs look not so steady in round 6....this is a very interesting fight and crossroads affair
Live by the sword....die by the sword. So much for that. Flava flav said it best. Good good fight. Rubio gets tko
You wanna know what.....
ONE of you could have come in here and let me KNOW this was tape delayed Fuckers !!!! :p
You guys suck man...really :D
Well, he's no Kelly Pavlik.
He's not even a Kofi. Not sure what he needs to improve firstQuote:

2- His defense when things aren't going good. Not only he loose the edge of the fight in the fifth, but weren't doing anything to recuperate in the sixth. Also, he lack in defense is what caused Rubio comeback.
I'm still shocked, but I still love that kid. The way I see it, he simply hit a wall sooner than I expected. He should have spared with Bute or another champ...but oh well, it's wasy to say that now that we know the result...
Damn I missed all the fights tonight...at least I got to eat some good sushi and some sapporos. ;) I always like to read the first few pages of a fight thread when theres an upset. Sounds like Lemiuex didnt have a backup plan when his power wasnt enough to carry him? I am not missing tommorrows fights!
