David Lemieux

By Allan Fox: IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) took boxing fans by surprise on Thursday when he confessed that he’s afraid of the 26-year-old IBF 160lb champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) ahead of their important pay-per-view fight on HBO on October 17th from Madison Square Garden in New York.

Golovkin seemed tongue tiled and flustered when speaking to the media during his 3rd and final day of his media tour in Los Angeles, California. This is pretty much the same thing we saw from the 33-year-old Golovkin in his other two media conferences with Lemieux in Montreal and New York.

by Michael Montero – On Thursday fighters representing four different countries met in Los Angeles for the final stop of their media tour announcing one of the most anticipated cards of the year. On October 17th inside the famed Madison Square Garden in New York city, middleweight titlists Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and David Lemieux faceoff in a can’t miss action fight. The co-feature is a flyweight contest between Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez and Brian “Hawaiian Punch” Viloria, another can’t miss action affair. This one-two duo headlines an HBO PPV broadcast priced at $49.95, relatively cheap considering the cost of certain other PPV cards this year that seemed to be more about the “money” than the fans.

By Dan Ambrose: At the final stop of their three-city press tour today in Los Angeles, California, IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) sounded totally convinced that he’s going to beat IBO/WBA middleweight Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) in their clash on October 17th at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Lemieux, 26, said he doesn’t just believe he’s going to beat Golovkin, he knows he’s going to beat him. Lemieux feels he’s going to defeat Triple G, because he knows what he’s capable of going after spending years inside and outside the ring. Lemieux sees something in Golovkin’s fighting style that makes him dead certain that he’s going to defeat the 33-year-old Kazakhstan fighter in their fight on HBO pay-per-view.

By Jim Dower: Trainer Abel Sanchez doesn’t think that IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is as tough or as good a puncher as a lot of boxing fans make him out to be. Sanchez thinks that KO artist Curtis Stevens is a better puncher than Lemieuix, and he thinks that it won’t be a problem for IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) to defeat the 26-year-old Lemieux in their fight on October 17th on HBO pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Golovkin defeated Stevens by an 8th round knockout last year in 2014 in a fight that was pretty much a one-sided fight from start to finish. Stevens landed some good shots early on and forced Golovkin to box with him rather than slug in the early going, but Golovkin slowly broke him down until forcing a stoppage.

By Jim Dower: IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) recognizes that his unification fight against IBF 160lb belt holder David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is far and away the most dangerous fight of his 10-year pro career in their October 17th fight on HBO pay-per-view.

Golovkin, 33, doesn’t mess things up with his successful career right before he’s about to strike pay dirt in getting a fight against the winner of the Miguel Cotto vs. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight. That’s where the big money comes in for Golokvin. What he makes against Lemieux will be nothing compared to the big cash he can make against the winner of the Cotto-Canelo fight on HBO PPV.
