GRIM Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 March 11th HBO. I'm thinking this will be a small war! Warrrrr the best man In a bout that should come with the tagline, “Knockout guaranteed or your money back,” the power-punchers David Lemieux and Curtis Stevens will square off on March 11 on HBO from Turning Stone Casino in Verona New York in a scheduled 12-round middleweight affair, it was announced on Monday. The match-up has been discussed since early 2016 and even had a date of Oct. 22 before talks fizzled. Now, with Canelo Alvarez opting to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Stevens and Lemieux, a former titleholder, struggling to find other big-name opponents, they will turn to each other to prove their worth in the middleweight division. For HBO, which has come under heavy criticism for pushing most of its boxing programming to pay-per-view, it marks just the second regular HBO date that has been announced in 2017. “The time for talking is done, and after many long months of hearing Curtis yell about all the things he’s going to do in the ring, I’m really looking forward to shutting his mouth on March 11,” Lemieux said in a prepared statement. “I’ve told everyone my goal is to once again become middleweight champion of the world. Curtis is in the way, and I’m going to go right through him.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
