Lemieux won a wide decision on all cards (Mine was 115-109),but the fight was far closer,if you used the old system of scoring of simply by rounds,the fight could have gone either way.
In the end,N'Dam's chin that had failed him against Peter Quillin (six knockdowns) foiled his chances of victory again against a world class foe.
As for Lemieux,he showed strong power and an aggressive style that is extremely fan friendly that should continue to build fan support.
The fight fan in me would love to see a unification fight with WBA champ Gennady Golovkin,but Golden Boy might be better suited to keep Lemieux away from GGG.
HBO has involvement with both fighters and with a lack of options for either immediately,a fall fight is very possible.
I think Golovkin wins an explosive bout,but Lemieux does have the proverbial punchers chance....
Dierry Jean won a unanimous decision on the undercard over Jerry Belmontes and Rances Barthelemy soundly defeated Antonio DeMarco on a PBC card on Sunday to complete the boxing weekend.
In the Boxing Challenge,both R.L.Malpica and I added five points to our total-2 each for the Jean and Barthelemy wins and one for the Lemieux victory...
The challenge stands at 79-78 in my favor.
Stay tuned for a big announcement later that my Facebook followers already know about.
