“You better get ready, Lemieux. The spot you’re in, you didn’t earn it. You got it by chance,” stated the confident N’Dam.
Lemieux, who was calm and unaffected, then joined the call. De La Hoya, who promotes Lemieux introduced the boxer as a promising talent with rewarding showmanship and potential.
Lemieux, equally as confident as N’Dam, downplayed his opponent’s trasht talk. “Talk is cheap. We’ll settle this in the ring,” said Lemieux.
Lemieux has displayed his power in the ring, soundly thrashing opponents from turnbuckle to turnbuckle and feels he’s only getting stronger.
“My physical strength has been higher than it’s ever been. I am extremely confident in my fight against N’Dam,” said Lemieux.
