Lemieux v Stevens

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

Good styles match with decent punchers but bit underwhelming for HBO. Stevens didn't look so good v De La Rosa. Hesitant and off. Winner gets a big fight and probably another L. No idea where Gamboa is with 2 year layoff but Alvarado should give him some work.

The Lemieux v Stevens fight can go either way. On one hand I can see it being explosive as both can be aggressive and are decent punchers. On the other they may come in tentative which could lead to a dull fight. I hope they go for broke.

Can we get a sticky for this to please? @Master

I'll see everyone a bit later on for this.

Interesting that Lemieux's team are claiming he didn't know about the 2nd day weight in that the IBF conducts with a 10 regain pound limit. He never showed up. So the former IBF champ is unaware of this? Sure he made weight on the day and it is only a minor international belt but why not just say that? Saving a fighter sanctioning fees is always a good thing in my book. I wonder if the IBF will drop him from there ratings?

The last few late night cards I've tried to stay awake for have been failures, so I doubt I'll make this one, but the intention and the option is open. However, will probably fail. Hope this contribution has been worthwhile, should be a good fight regardless of whether or not I manage to watch!
