I want to stay up but these late night weekends are getting to me.

watched Thurman v Garcia, Wilder v Washington, Cruz v Frampton undercard.

I think I might stay up for this one, I stayed up last weekend and I think it does me good, I've slept like a corpse the last couple of nights.

I have been looking and working like a corpse at work.

Both can punch so it will be exciting to watch but 5am? I am tempted.

Lemieux is almost always in a good fight. The only real exception was against GGG because he knew how that would end. I think that he will come forward on Stevens. Stevens just isn't good. I've seen him fight a lot and I've never once been impressed.

I was shocked when I found out that he was a decorated amateur. He fights like someone with no amateur background and relies purely on athleticism and his punch.

I have been impressed with a number of Stevens' knockouts (Ayala, Teixeira, Majewski etc) but I agree that I have never really thought of him as much more than a gate keeper at best. Apart from N'Jikam; Lemieux's record is severely lacking also. I favor Lemieux but really don't have much faith in either fighter. Let the best man win.

Unbeaten Yves Ulysse Jr just stopped previously unbeaten Zachary Ochoa. The corner stopped it at the end of the 7th after Ochoa got beaten up for almost the entire round.

Gamboa an unofficial 145 and again rewarded for it. How many lives does this cat have.

This fight followed the script - two sparko merchants, short and sweet. I actually thought they'd be cagey, with a distance fight possible, but from the opening seconds Lemieux was in full chinner merchant mode. You've got no chance surviving against an aggressive sicko puncher if you can't make them miss. Even Lemieux's blasts to the arms and gloves look sickening.

I'd like to see Lemieux vs Eubank Jr. Love to see how eager the young fella is to get inside looking for a tear-up topped off with an over elaborate highlight reel uppercut after feeling a couple of atomic blasts. We'll soon see if all the "he's got his dads chin" merchants are correct or not (personally think Jr will come unstuck in tear-up mode against world-class bangers).



((Well done @Beanz for posting those fight times, I woke up at ten to five and immediately remembered reading your post, otherwise i'd have been pottering around, making a cup of tea oblivious to the fact I could catch the fight live))
