Former IBF middleweight champion and current WBC #2, WBO #3, WBA #4 super middleweight David Lemieux (43-4 36 KOs) crushed David Zagarra (34-5, 21 KOs) in two brutal rounds on Friday night at the Holiday Inn in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. Lemieux dropped Zagarra twice in round one, although the second was erroneously ruled a slip. Lemieux dropped Zagarra immediately in round two, then pounced and got a referee’s stoppage.
Heavyweight Simon Kean (20-1, 19 KOs) pounded on 292lb Donald Haynesworth (16-6-1, KOs) for four rounds. Haynesworth didn’t come out for round five.
Unbeaten WBO #6 super middleweight Eric Bazinyan (26-0, 20 KOs) scored a second round TKO over veteran Scott Sigmon (35-15-1, 18 KOs). Bazinyan dropped Sigmon in round one and the bout was stopped when he wobbled Sigmon in round two.
Female super bantamweight Martine Vallieres Bisson (3-0, 1 KO) won by first round TKO over Maricruz Gomez (0-3-2). Bout stopped on a cut to Gomez.
Quebec-based promoter Eye of the Tiger was operating in Mexico due to COVID restrictions in Canada.
So the Covid restrictions in Canada made them all travel to Mexico to have a safe public event? Canada, you funny….
They’ve done that a few times now. Went down there a few months ago and one of their guys, Steven Butler who had a world title fight in his previous fight, got knocked out.
lemieux yea he can be outboxed but he carries true ko power, and there’s not a long line of contenders out willing to fight him
You have a mistake on lomachencko’s record, he has two losses.
Lemieux is strong, athletically gifted and has powerful punches. Why hasn’t he gotten better in overall skills like Canelo has over the years? I think Lemieux tops most other boxers in athleticism and strength.
