Lemiuex v. Rubio This Friday

[CFH]

What an awful stoppage by the corner.

Either way, great win for Rubio. Gotta love seeing the aging underdog pull off the upset.

Rubio very classy in victory as well, gotta love the guy.

I'm talking to myself like I'm Spicoli here...

so what happened? Was he hurt or was it in between rounds?

He got hit with a temple shot that dropped him (Lemieux was hurt but not dropped by a similar punch in the previous round when he got wild and was countered) and the corner threw in the towel in the follow up barrage.

I can understand the corner stepping in, he didn't really understand how to survive, he's young, he'll come back.

He needs to learn how to box if he's ever going to be successful at a high level. I thought he'd beat Rubio, but Lemieux is so wild that I figured any decent counter-punch would beat him.

I took Lemieux to win as well, Rubio gets lazy early on, I didn't think he would have stood up to the initial assault, but he proved me (and most) wrong.
