His legs look not so steady in round 6....this is a very interesting fight and crossroads affair

Well, he's no Kelly Pavlik.
Well, let's start with 2 things.
1- How to deal with adversity. I can't believe how bad Lemieux reacted to the counter-attack by Rubio in the end of the fifth. He were clearly leading the fight but as soon that Rubio placed a good punch, he lost it.
2- His defense when things aren't going good. Not only he loose the edge of the fight in the fifth, but weren't doing anything to recuperate in the sixth. Also, he lack in defense is what caused Rubio comeback.
I'm still shocked, but I still love that kid. The way I see it, he simply hit a wall sooner than I expected. He should have spared with Bute or another champ...but oh well, it's wasy to say that now that we know the result...
Damn I missed all the fights tonight...at least I got to eat some good sushi and some sapporos.I always like to read the first few pages of a fight thread when theres an upset. Sounds like Lemiuex didnt have a backup plan when his power wasnt enough to carry him? I am not missing tommorrows fights!
Great upset !
So many veterans say "I'm going to take him into deep water and drown him" and so often that doesn't happen.
But tonight Rubio did exactly what he said he was going to do, he survived the early onslaught, picked his spots, countered very well and beat Lemieux.
Lemieux really needs to learn how to clinch, and not to throw himself out.
Bit of an early stoppage by the corner, but better too early than too late.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
