Sergio would beat David on Sat night and twice by dinner time on Sun. Was actually liking the kid until now.

hehe I think his brashness is all due to one interview, where the guy was asking him "How would you fair against....?" questions and Lemieux would give a reason on why he thinks he can beat them. Of course he would not come out and say he would lose to them. This is the press kinda making him look like an a$$. They then create multiple headline stories making it look like he is out there trying to brag himself up.

Yeah I agree with that. The interviewer is quida at fault for asking questions like "Will you beat this champ?", "How will you beat it?" etc. Of course, Lemieux could have been more humble and say he would have a hard time about them and blablabla but anyway.

I like this kid, got real potential for World titles. A little in-experienced still, but this should be a good yard stick of where he's at. He seems to have been brought on well, dont know if a title shot by the end of the year would be a good thing, but what the hell, he will need to make that step up at some point.

Lemieux to win with 5th rd stoppage.

Came across this article in the Winnipeg press stating he will look to move up to SMW next year:

Sounds crazy considering his reach, didnt realise weight was such an issue for him. I know he started as a LMW, must be growing into his body some if within 2 yrs he wants to be fighting at SMW.

Lemieux might get caught for the first time in this one - he's only 22 - but he's going to win anyways. No comparaison with JCC imo.

Nice paper there Mattyhitman.

I'm also quite surprised to hear that they are thinking about moving up a weight class. But I don't worry too much about his reach, it won't help him much in his in-boxing style.

Well this is true, Lemieux's style is as an inside fighter. What caught my eye about him originally was the comparison I could make with our very own Ricky Hatton. Both great inside fighters with devastating left hooks to the body followed by the lethal uppercut!

As long as he cuts the ring off and gets inside the jab then he will cause any fighter problems ( which he has shown to date very capabaly ). Once inside not many MW's will be able to handle the body/head combo punishment he can dish out.
