By Tim Fletcher: Next month in 12 days from now on October 3rd, HBO will be televising a special called “Road to Golovkin/Lemieux. The special will highlight the fighter’s October 17th fight on HBO pay-per-view between the two world champions. Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) will be defending his IBO/WBA middleweight title, and the 26-year-old David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) will be defending his IBF 160lb title.
By Dan Ambrose: IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) says he saw everything he needed to see when he stood and faced off with IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) when the two of them met at a recent press conference to publicize their October 17th fight on HBO pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden in New York.
The 26-year-Lemieux says he saw weakness in Golovkin’s eyes during their stare down, and he says going to attack that weakness when he gets inside the ring with the Kazakhstan fighter.
By Dan Ambrose: IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) and IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) were both on target for their 30-day weigh-in. Lemieux weighed in at 175.4lbs, while Golovkin came in 10 pounds lighter at 165 pounds. Golovkin and Lemieux will be facing each other on October 17th on HBO pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Golovkin usually comes into his fights at 170lbs after rehydrating. His 30-day weight is likely not reflective of the actual weight that he’ll be coming into the fight at on October 17th, but it’s obviously going to be close to that.
By Dan Ambrose: The big unification fight between IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) and IBF 160lb champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is only 29 days away for HBO pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden in New York. Boxing fans will finally get a chance to see if the 33-year-old Golovkin is for real or not.
There are more than a few fans of the sport who see Golovkin as little more than an over-hyped fighter who has taken advantage of the soft match-making by his promoter Tom Loeffler. Golovkin has been a pro for nine years now, and you can safely say that he’s not been tested in any way at all.
By Dan Ambrose: In news that has to be seen as a major negative for Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions, IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) has been voted in a poll at Fightnews.com as the most likely fighter to take over for Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the new pound-for-pound king of the sport of boxing.
Golovkin was voted as No.1 in the poll with 32% of the vote. De La Hoya’s flagship fighter Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who De La Hoya believes will be the No.1 pay-per-view fighter for the next 10 years, came in only 6% of the vote, tied with Sergey Kovalev and Miguel Cotto.
By Dan Ambrose: While Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has been telling boxing fans that his fighter IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) will be emerge victorious in his unification fight next month on October 17th against IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs), fans and fighters alike pretty much believe that Golovkin will be making easy work of the 26-year-old Lemieux.
That’s bad news for Golden Boy, De La Hoya, but it’s also a bad thing for Golovkin too. The fight is being televised on HBO pay-per-view, and if everyone believes that the Golovkin-Lemieux fight is going to be a mismatch, then boxing fans won’t bother to purchase it.
By Dan Ambrose: IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) expects to take not only IBO/WBA 160lb champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin’s two titles when he faces him on October 17th on HBO pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden in New York, but Lemieux also thinks he’ll take over Golovkin’s spot as the No.1 feared middleweight in the division.
Right now, Golovkin is seen as the most feared middleweight in the division in the minds of a lot of boxing fans. We still don’t know if that’s an accurate picture of whom Golovkin is because he’s not faced Lemieux, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Miguel Cotto, Peter Quillin, Daniel Jacobs or Andy Lee.
As announced on ‘Bunce’s Boxing Hour’ one of this year’s most exciting fights has landed on BoxNation with knockout artists Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux set to produce a spectacular showdown on October 17th.
The two world champions meet head-to-head in one of the most eagerly anticipated unification clashes in 2015, as they look to prove who is the best middleweight on the planet, live and exclusive on the world’s number one boxing channel.
By Yannis Mihanos: Power in the ring of politics is about influence, power in the ring of boxing is about punching. Possessing immense power in punching is one of the best gifts you can have in boxing.
Of course there are other gifts too but this one alone can win a fight anytime anywhere.
In each fight something becomes the overwhelming factor that can give someone the necessary edge to win, it can be skills, IQ, power, speed, age, any of them or even all of them.
