WHAT A FIGHT! Lafreniere used to box in St-Juste’s promoted cards, can you imagine the intense hometown rivalry? It’s like punching on your boss basically!
Almost each time Lafreniere connected with a good combination, St-Juste looked woozy, but he always came back with a vicious but absolutely untechnical hooks combo. It definitely was the fight of the night, thanks ATBF for posting it! Best boxing website in the world!
A lot of action in this reckless fight! The more it went on, the more we saw that St-Juste couldn’t really hurt Lafrenière. Both guys were technically weak but showed great efforts and sustained a somehow interesting fight until the end. I thought St-Juste had retired a couple of years ago, and maybe he should have.
Agree. Well with this win, even though he is only 11-5, Lafreniere has to go in the world rankings I think, since he has a minor strap.
