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.
