David Lemieux fresh off his pay-per-view headlining bout against Gennady Golovkin missed weight today by nearly three pounds and now the fight is off. After missing weight and having no qualms with being overweight, a frustrated James de la Rosa decided that the money being offered was not worth the risk of added damage from a larger man and turned down the fight.

As first reported by Michelle Rosado, the Canadian commission then did something odd.

Yes. Apparently, De LaRosa had the choice and Lemieux wasn't so far over that the commish would cancel fight https://t.co/RF63bLrM3X

As stated above, de la Rosa is now suspended for six months for not taking a bout with an overweight Lemieux.  You really can’t make this stuff up.
