Laval's Lemieux stops Tapia in 4th round in Vegas

Former IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux of Laval (35-3, 32 KOs) got back on the winning track in stopping a game, but limited junior middleweight Glen Tapia (23-3, 15 KOs) in the fourth round Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The Boxing News 24 reported Tapia used his jab well and was able to land some nice shots, particularly in the third round.
Tapia showed some promise on offence. Where he fell apart was on the defensive side of his game. Lemieux was able to hit Tapia with left hooks and right hands almost at will. The only time Tapia was able to avoid those shots was when he was jabbing and moving.
