Loeffler expects conservative PPV numbers for Golovkin-Lemieux
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1&v=49NPY3ogWe4
By Allan Fox: IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler isn’t expecting huge pay-per-view numbers for Golovkin’s fight on HBO PPV against IBF middleweight title holder David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) in their fight on October 17th at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Loeffler quite rightfully expects the PPV numbers to be “conservative” for the fight card, which makes a lot of sense because neither of these fighters Golovkin and Lemieux are American, nor have they ever fought on a pay-per-view card before.
Lemieux will shock the world against Golovkin, says De La Hoya
By Dan Ambrose: It’s generally understood by all that IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is the underdog in his fight against IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) in their unification fight this month on HBO pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden in New York.
Golovkin has the superior experience, punching power, amateur pedigree and talent going into this fight. Golovkin is in the prime of his career; whereas Lemieux is still not quite gotten to the top of his game yet. However, Lemieux’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions expects Lemieux to shock the boxing world with what he brings to the table in this fight on 10/17.
Lemieux needs to catch Golovkin early to win

By Dan Ambrose: It’s well known that IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) tends to gas out and lose power on his shots by the 6th or 7th rounds of his fights. We saw that in his defeats against Joachim Acline and Marco Antonio Rubio, as well as his recent win over Hassan N’Dam last June.
In each of those fights, the 26-year-old Lemieux faded badly by the 6th round. There hasn’t been much improvement in Lemieux’s conditioning since 2011, when he was beaten in back to back fights by Rubio and Alcine.
Eubank Jr. destroys Golovkin, says Eubank Sr.
By Scott Gilfoid: Chris Eubank Sr. thinks his son WBA interim middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (19-1, 14 KOs) will destroys IBF/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) if they face each other right now.
Eubank Sr. says that Golovkin is too slow and easy to hit for Eubank Jr. Indeed, he thinks that Eubank Jr. would destroy the Kazakhstan fighter, which is why he’s steering the 26-year-old Eubank Jr. towards a fight with Golovkin.
Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport is Eubank Jr’s new promoter, and it’s unclear how much control he has over the match-making for Eubank Jr. If he has a total control over Eubank Jr’s match-making, then I don’t see him and Golovkin fighting each other, because Hearn seems to have his feet firmly planted on earth and he obviously has a pretty good idea what would happen if he threw Eubank Jr. in the ring with Golovkin.
Golovkin and Gonzalez top P4P lists
NEW YORK CITY (Sept. 29, 2015) Boxing fans will see the Top Two Pound-For-Pound Fighters in the world on the same card, Saturday, Oct. 17 at the “Mecca of Boxing”, Madison Square Garden and LIVE on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Froch: I wouldn’t put Golovkin in my top 10 P4P
By Scott Gilfoid: Former IBF/WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch kicked sand in the face of IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) by saying that he wouldn’t put him in his top 10 pound for pound list in boxing right now due to Froch not being satisfied with the hard hitting Golovkin’s resume.
What’s interesting is that Froch doesn’t see Golovkin as even a top 10 fighter in the p4p list despite the boxing fans largely seeing Golovkin as the No.1 guy now. If Froch has problems with Golovkin’s resume due to him not having fought a lot of high caliber fighter, he should blame himself for that.
Eubank Jr. wants Golovkin
By Scott Gilfoid: Interim WBA middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (19-1, 14 KOs) says he wants to fight IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs). The 26-year-old Eubank Jr. says he wants to win world titles at both 160 and 168, and he doesn’t see why he shouldn’t go after the likes of Golovkin.
Eubank Jr. says he wants to fight the best in both divisions, and he thinks that within two years he can have all the world titles in both the middleweight and super middleweight divisions.
Roach: Golovkin kills Lemieux
By Dan Ambrose: Freddie Roach, the trainer for WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, says that IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) will absolutely kill IBF 160lb champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) in their fight next month on October 17th at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Roach thinks that Golovkin will have no problems beating the 26-year-old Lemieux, and he believes that he can KO the Canadian fighter any time he wants in that fight. Roach says he wants to see Cotto face Golovkin afterwards so that he can fight out which of the two fighters are the best in the world.
Lemieux: The guns are loaded for Golovkin
By Tim Fletcher: IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) says he’s having his best training camp ever in preparing for his unification fight against IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) on October 17th.
Lemieux has left no stone unturned in preparing for everything that the 33-year-old Golovkin can bring to the table in their fight on HBO pay-per-view. Lemieux says he’s been watching video of Golovkin, and he knows what to expect from the Kazakhstan fighter. Lemieux believes that Golovkin will fight as he always does by coming out fast looking to entertain the crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York.
