Lemieux expects people to be speechless after Golovkin fight

by

1-GolovkinLemieuxLAPC_Hoganphotos13By Tim Fletcher: IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) plans on leaving a lot of boxing fans totally speechless on October 17th after he gets through with the older 33-year-old IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs).

Lemieux says that you can’t underestimate people in the sport of boxing, and he obviously has been underestimated by a great number of fans, people in the media, and fighters. Many fans still remember how bad Lemieux looked in his losses to Marco Antonio Rubio and Joachim Alcine from 2011, and that’s one of the reasons why they’re not giving him too much of a chance to score an upset in a little over a week from now. Without those defeats, the Golovkin-Lemieux fight would be truly a 50-50 affair.

Lemieux needs to take GGG’s head off, says Rosado

by

1-golovkin (3)By Dan Ambrose: Gabriel Rosado knows more anyone how difficult it is to fight IBO/WBA middleweight champion Genndy “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) after losing to him by a 7th round stoppage two years ago in 2013. Rosado changed his fighting style to become more of a boxer in hopes that it would work to keep Golovkin from being able to blast him out quickly.

It did work in part for Rosado because he was able to make it to the 7th round by running from Golovkin, but it didn’t help him get the victory. After having learned a valuable lesson the hard way, Rosado thinks that IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is going to need to come out fast and start throwing bombs immediately in his fight with Golovkin on October 17th at Madison Square Garden.

Golovkin: Lemieux can go 3 or 4 rounds with me on power alone

by

1-golovkin (8)By Allan Fox: It looks like IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) had better plan on boxing IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) in their fight on October 17th, because Golovkin is saying that Lemieux won’t be able to go more than 3 to 4 rounds with him if he only brings his power game with him in their HBO pay-per-view fight at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Golovkin thinks that for Lemieux to go the entire 12 round distance with him in this fight, he’s going to need to plan on boxing him for 12 rounds instead of slugging it out.

Golovkin looking sharp in training

by

1-GolovkinLemieuxLAPC_Hoganphotos5By Dan Ambrose: With only 11 days to go before the HBO pay-per-view card headlined by IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) vs. IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) at Madison Square Garden, in New York, Golovkin is looking very, very powerful and in excellent condition in his training camp.

You’d hate to say that the 26-year-old Lemieux has no chance of winning the fight based on looks alone, but I’m starting to think that Golovkin is going to win this fight by a cakewalk.

Lemieux will KO Golovkin, says De La Hoya

by

1-LemieuxWorkout4Golovkin_Hoganphotos1By Dan Ambrose: Fans don’t know exactly what to expect in the unification fight between IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) and IBF champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) this month on October 17th on HBO pay-per-view, but Lemieux’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya feels pretty confident about the 26-year-old Lemieux’s chances of winning this fight at Madison Square Garden, in New York.

De La Hoya says he wouldn’t have wanted Lemieux to face Golovkin a year ago because he felt he wasn’t ready back then. But now that he has wins over Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam, Gabriel Rosado and Fernando Guerrero under his belt, De La Hoya now feels that Lemieux is ready to go into Madison Square Garden and take Golovkin’s scalp and bring his IBO and WBA 160lb titles back to Canada with him.

Ward is just using Golovkin’s name to stay relevant, says Sanchez

by

ward6666By Dan Ambrose: In a real surprising bit of news, IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez says that WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward is using Golovkin’s name to stay relevant by name dropping his name to get attention from boxing fans and the media.

Sanchez says that Ward was lying when he recently said that Golovkin’s promoter turned down a fight offer from him to fight him. Sanchez says that Ward didn’t start talking about a fight against Golovkin until after he’d already signed for a unification fight against IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) on October 17th.
