I'm still nowhere near sold on him. A good boxer with a solid jam is going to give him a lot of problems. He still has a ton a questions hanging around him. All that aside, it was a good win and a very impressive performance.

Ayala fought the wrong fight. But that's his own stupidity. I don't think anybody expected Ayala to win. But I doubt anybody expected him to get blown in the first either. I agree Lemieux has questions and still has a lot to prove. But it was an impressive performance. His power looks to be very real. He moved Ayala back with every punch.

I don't think he's the next big thing but at 22, he shows quite good things, a bit more than what many people want to give him credit for. Let's not forget he's still very young and has a lot to learn yet but this quick annihilation of Ayala should reward him with at least a bit of credit.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends

i don't see anyone here not doing that, it was a good solid win and Lemieux looked solid, but he still has a lot to prove, and the fact that he's only 22 is just in his favor, meaning he has plenty of time to do it and he's right on track

One of the strongest inside fighters in the middle weight classes. I agree that a slick boxer presents something different but he doesn't have to worry about that until he gets to the very top of the division.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
i was definitely impressed by this kid, lemieux. this guy not only can punch like a mule but has good hand skills and good boxing skills. only time will tell if he's the real deal but right now, the kid is impressive. ayala by the way, was no slouch so this was a good win for the kid.

He seems to be a tight crisp puncher with enough power that could rattle anyone up. I don't think he is a huge puncher like Abraham, but has enough oomph and is very good picking his spots.
I don't think his trainer Russ Amber wanted this result a whole lot. I think he wanted someone to extend Lemieux and make him work for a few rounds. Overall an impressive show of power and timing, but I think they are looking for someone who has decent skills and just won't fall down from his assault. I think Sergio Mora would be a perfect opponent. He has skills, is awkward and is very durable. I see that fight going the distance and win or lose would be a great learning experience for Lemieux.

There's the fight. He's got a nice left hook but they don't want to rush him. I wouldn't put him in with Mora yet.

Teddy Atlas had an absolute 'mare commentating on that.
"I just don't see what the big deal is.."
"If Ayala can survive this round, I still think he has the ability to cause Lemieux problems..."
Gets knocked down for the second time.
Teddy Atlas is a prick, anyway. He is still bitter Cus D'Amato sacked him.

You cannot criticise a one round knock out, that was good, but he seems manufactured young, good looking, can punch, something does not add up.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
