Lemiuex v. Rubio This Friday

[IamInuit]

I'm looking forward to it. I expect Lemieux to win, but I bet it will be a scrap while it lasts. Who do you guys pick?

Agreed. Rubio can crack. David is one of my favourite fighters. Bone crushing power in both hands.

lol, your could at least write their name correctly in the title :P

Give me a break. It's a French name involving 3 of the most difficult vowels to put together and judging by his tag he's not a Canadian like we are.

Lemieux really really lacks rounds. Uphill battle for capable boxing Rubio but this isn't some tubby 'not my Father' Camacho jr in there. Just hope Rubio doesn't shell up like he did vs Pavliks power. Think it will be a good scrap

That's a really good point. David is already spouting off about Martinez. Concentrate on the task at hand.

Lemieux is young and I think he's full of confidence.
He's deadly with both hands. Can catch you with the left hook or flatten you with a straight right...

Rubio for the long career he's had and all.
Everytime I see his name only one thing springs to mind.
The brutal KO he suffered vs. Kofi... Ouch!
But he can def. bang too so Lemieux better put on his best chin.

For those who have not seen it. One of the worst you will see.

Absolutely. Rubio is a good measuring stick and how many vaunted punchers have we seen fall flat when the higher tier refuses to stick to the script. As much as Lemieux is improving...so his Martinez...and he's not ready for that, not just yet. Walk then run.

Elo - I'm probably the only non-Canadian on this board that consistently roots for Bute. I've been to Montreal and its a class town. So, believe me when I say the misspelling was just a mistake.

Why is it a Philly based American is bringing up Lemieux's fight this weekend anyway?

Agreed - Very good point on the rounds. He needs a fight to go five or six rounds and Rubio should go five or six. It'll be impressive if Lemieux sparks him fast.

Now, what we haven't seen Lemieux in with yet is a quality mover. He needs to face a couple of fighters with that style before stepping into the ring with Martinez. Do we even know how capable he is at cutting off the ring?
