David Lemieux

[amat]

Del Ray is promoted by Stacy Goodson and has made his career fighting on the same cards as Kid Thunder. He might not be completely bad but for a banger it's an obvious mismatch. Who are these guys you are talking about that they think will go rounds? Thomas Davis? Donnie McCrary? Davis was a marginal talent at 140 lbs at 168lbs I don't think they thought he would be any sort of a test. Hernandez gave him a few rounds but obviously wasn't in the same league.

When Andre Ward fought guys like Derrick Findley, Julio Jean, Darnell Boone, Jerson Ravelo etc, those were all guys who had a ton of tenacity and went into their fights thinking they would win. When Peterson fought Martez Logan, Humberto Toledo, Rogelio Castaneda, it was the same thing, all those guys at least challenged Peterson and forced him to be competitive.

This just isn't formative for Lemieux AT ALL and it's been proven time and time again that if this is the way you choose to bring up a fighter, watch him blowout every guy he's in the ring wish so people worship the ground he walks on, then he faces a challenge and an opponent who is coming with a plan to win, and they fold. Isn't that what happened to Tyrone Brunson a couple weeks ago? He's a guy with obvious talent who didn't know wtf to do when he was hurt, probably because no guy he has been in the ring with in his pro fights have even had the capability to hurt him.
