Guerrero seems tailor made for Lemieux. A guy with great power against a guy whose chin is certainly questionable.

9-1-1 Charlo

It wouldn't be the most exciting matchup, but it would certainly be interesting to see Jermell Charlo vs Austin Trout I think. Charlo can compete at that level I think. We have to see him in against it though.

You could, but I think you'd be jumping the gun considerably.

Austin Trout's biggest impediment is his lack of power. Easy work for both Charlos.

If Austin Trout would be easy work for anybody then they're not a hype job. Austin Trout is no pushover.

11-1 Charlo. He wasn't as impressive as I thought he might be, but that jab is pretty, his stamina is damn good, and his style will give some top guys problems.

Austin Trout is overrated. I think people overestimate his skills just because he seems like a nice guy and he earned it the hard way.

Yeah trout is a good fighter. He just happened to fight probably the best two light middles bar Mayweather, back to back.

118-109 Charlo.

Not his best performance, but sufficient that he'll stay on track, and move on to bigger and better things.

Overrated by who? I hardly ever hear anybody even talking about him at all.

Apparently yes, the commentators kept mentioning how Ronnie Shields feels he is ready for a title shot because he keeps doing very well in sparring with Lara.

Lemieux-Guerrero next :bag:

Lemieux gets ripped on a lot, but he's very fun to watch.

Didnt he just call out Lara though? That seems an odd one if they're in the same stable. I'd like to see it but it's not often you see gym mates calling each other out.

I didn't hear him call out Lara specifically, but I heard him call out the 154 pound Champions in general.

Ah i could be wrong then. I wasnt paying full attention but Steve Bunce reckoned he did. He talks a lot of bollocks though so it's probably nonsense.

Guerrero looks totally different with his hair cut short like that.
