Lemieux with opportunities for big fights if he defeats N’Dam

lemieux55By Dan Ambrose: David Lemieux (33-2, 31 KOs) is a heavy favorite going into his fight this Saturday night against #1 IBF Hassan N’Dam (31-1, 18 KOs) in their clash for the vacant IBF middleweight title at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada.

A win here for the 26-year-old Lemieux will not only give him the IBF 160lb title, but it will also give him a shot at fighting the winner of the Miguel Cotto vs. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight. While Gennady Golovkin has been mentioned as the likely guy that the winner of the Cotto-Canelo fight will be facing, it’s likely not going to happen that way if Canelo is the one that emerges the winner of that fight.
