Lemieux: As of the second round I couldn’t use my left hand

Andrew Karlov Dec. 17, 2017, 2:07 a.m.

Former world champion David Lemieux after a one-sided defeat to WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders said that in the second round he injured his left hand, and therefore could not show the performance he wanted.

"I wasn’t at my best. As of the second round I couldn’t use my left hand the way I wanted to. He was on the run and I had difficulty throwing my shots. I guess his strategy to win is to run away from fighters instead of fighting. If that’s the way you want to win then, hey, congratulations," said Lemieux after the battle.

"I know you’re booing me because I whooped your fighter’s ass…I wouldn’t have come over here if I thought I’d get beat…I’m a different animal now. I wanted to put it on Lemieux…Canelo fight me now!" Saunders addressed the local audience in the ring after defeating Lemieux.
