If most two handed fighters can’t make it out of the second round with middleweight knockout sensation David Lemieux, what chance does a one-handed fighter have? The answer: hardly any. Lemieux disposed of Purnell Gates (18-2 13KO) with the Michigan fighter’s corner throwing in the towel after two knockdowns in the second round on Friday night at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Gates had grabbed his right hand early in the first round, wincing in pain and started running as far and fast as he could for the remainder of the bout that officially ended at 2:50 of round two. Lemieux who is ranked #3 by both the WBA and WBC remains perfect at 25-0 scoring his 24th stoppage, the 21st within the first two rounds.
