DAVID LEMIEUX MEDIA DAY QUOTES PhilBoxing.com Fri, 28 Apr 2017  LEMIEUX FACES MARCO "DORADO" REYES AS CO-MAIN EVENT TO CANELO VS. CHAVEZ, JR. MAY 6 AT T-MOBILE ARENA IN LAS VEGAS PRESENTED LIVE BY HBO PAY-PER-VIEW? LOS ANGELES (April 27, 2017) - Fighting as the co-main event to Canelo vs. Chavez, Jr., Former IBF Middleweight Champion David Lemieux (37-3, 33 KOs) makes quick return to the ring after spectacular knockout over Curtis Stevens in March to face tough Middleweight Contender Marco "Dorado" Reyes (35-4, 26 KOs) on May 6 at T-Mobile Arena, live on HBO Pay-Per-View. Below is what David Lemieux and his trainer had to say yesterday at their April 26 media day: DAVID LEMIEUX, Former IBF Middleweight Champion: "I'm in better shape than I was against Stevens. I only took a week off before heading back to the gym. I could not pass up the opportunity to fight on the May 6th card as the co-main event for Canelo vs. Chavez Jr., while all eyes will be on us. I love the Mexican fans who always put on a great atmosphere during the fights. "Reyes is a solid opponent, but I am very confident in my abilities. I don't think he will last long in the ring against me. I intend to make another statement on May 6." MARC RAMSAY, Trainer to David Lemieux: "It's going to be a good fight, especially in the early rounds. We are facing a bit of a kamikaze boxer, which we must take very seriously. You have to have a good defense and a good approach. "When it comes to technique, David really is superior, so it's going to have to show. He is very conscious of the extent of the importance of this fight."
