Lemieux Misses Weight, Fight With de la Rosa In Limbo
By Jake Donovan
Conflicting reports from Canada leave the status of David Lemieux's scheduled homecoming ring appearance up in the air. What has been confirmed is that the former middleweight titlist came in over-the-limit for Saturday's planned showdown with James de la Rosa, which is now in jeopardy as a result.
The headlining bout at Olympia Theatre in Montreal, Canada was due to take place at a catchweight limit of 163 lbs. However, Lemieux came in well over the mark at 165.6 lbs. and is unable to come in at the contracted mark.
Where the story gets muddied is the fight's exact status. TVA Sports in Canada have reported that the bout has been canceled, while other unconfirmed sources have suggested that Lemieux has agreed to pay a 20% fine in order for the main event to proceed, although unclear whether de la Rosa is willing to honor such terms.
Should the fight go on as scheduled, it's due to headline a Pay-Per-View telecast in Canada, as well as air live on Fox Deportes in the United States.
For the moment, Lemieux (34-3, 31KOs) is slated to return to the ring for the first time since his knockout loss to Gennady Golovkin in their middleweight title unification bout last October. The night marked his debut as an HBO Pay-Per-View headliner (albeit as the B-side), coming in the lone attempted defense of the middleweight title he won in a 12-round decision over Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam last June.
Should the main event get canceled, it would conceivably kill the PPV portion of the evening, as the supporting bouts on the show do not justify going the premium route.
MORE DETAILS TO COME...

Dude already knew he couldn't make 160, so tried to play it safe and asked for 163....and can't get close to that either

What's that got to do with what I'm saying breh sir>?Tell that Joan Guzman & Jessie Vargas
i am not surprised...i talked about this shyt when they had that buildup for him and GGG...i mentioned that mufukka looked like he was eating good during that special when he was champion..cant make 160..cool ok take your undisciplined ass up to 168...but not making a catchweight..clause put in to help you out a little is
to me
there's way too much fukkery going on in boxing these days...the bad fukkery..all these cancellations and shyt
Somebody that ain't shyt isn't winning a Championship, beating an undefeated Joan Guzman, or losing controversial decisions against Jessie Vargas on the Pac/Bradley 2 undercard.
He's not an A class fighter at 140, but Khabib Allakhverdiev is a good fighter at 140.

That's why there are weight classes
Go up to 168 lemieux
I wonder if he does move up to the full 168 limit soon...especially since he was talking shyt about Canelo fighting at the full limit/catchweights.
