(Credit: Ed Mulholland/K2 Promotions) By Dan Ambrose: Bernard Hopkins of Golden Boy Promotions says he’s interested in seeing how his fighter former IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-3, 31 KOs) bounces back from his 8th round knockout loss he suffered last Saturday night at the hands of the highly killed Kazakhstan knockout artist IBO/WBA middleweight champ Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs).
Hopkins notes that the 26-year-old Lemieux really didn’t take that bad of a beating by Golovkin, and he’s thankful for that. Hopkins thinks the fight could have gone another two more rounds, and he would have wanted to see it go that far to make sure that Lemieux was given every chance he could get in winning the fight.
