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:
