Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao?s former sparring partner Glen Tapia has been battered and stopped in four rounds on the undercard of the Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez ? Amir Khan middleweight battle at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Tapia who is known as ?Jersey Boy? took a bad beating from former IBF middleweight world champion David Lemieux (35-3, 32 KOs) who hammered Tapia for a 4th round stoppage win when his corner threw in the towel when early in the fourth, Tapia finally went down after Lemieux unloaded a series of punches.
Tapia got up and wanted to continue but his corner threw in the towel - which stopped the fight and the beating Tapia (23-3, 15 KO?s) was taking.
Tapia who moved up in weight couldn?t handle Lemieux whose punches were flying to the head and body. Tapia's nose was bleeding by the end of the first round.
Boxing Scene reported that Lemieux continued to control the entire fight in the second. He was throwing a lot of punches and not much of anything was coming back. Lemieux was walking Tapia down with big shots to the head and body. Tapia was starting to get beat up.
The third was more of the same. Lemieux was letting his hands go, fighting very aggressive and pressing an overmatched Tapia, who had little pop on his punches at the new weight. Tapia was landing punches here and there, but Lemieux was walking right through them with no effect.
Early in the fourth, Tapia finally went down after Lemieux unloaded a series of punches, Tapia got up and his corner threw in the towel - which stopped the fight and the beating Tapia was taking.
