It’s time for David Lemieux to shine
(Photo credit: Photo Credit: Eye of The Tiger Management) By Sarkis Aghbashian: Come Saturday, June 20th, the Bell Centre in Montreal will be hosting a must-see boxing match where a local hero, David Lemieux (33-2-31 KOs), will be facing off against a formidable adversary, Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (31-1-18KOs), for the vacant IBF world middleweight title. Previously, the belt was held by Jermain Taylor (33-4-1-20kos) but was stripped of the honour by IBF governing body due to troubles with the law.
On Saturday it will be Lemieux’s opportunity to prove his worth to the boxing world! This upcoming match can surely determine if he is the fighter that could shake up the middleweight division or if he is another boxer on a hot streak.

N’Dam: I will prove Lemieux doesn’t belong in with me
By Allan Fox: Despite being the underdog for Saturday’s bout, #1 IBF Hassan N’Dam (31-1, 18 KOs) expects to totally dominate #4 IBF David Lemieux (33-2, 31 KOs) when the two of them fight for the vacant IBF middleweight title this Saturday on June 20th at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada.
Surprisingly, the 31-year-old N’Dam believes that he’ll be able to score a knockout in this fight. N’Dam hasn’t knocked anyone out in five years since stopping Omar Gabriel Weis in 2010.
Lemieux with opportunities for big fights if he defeats N’Dam
By 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.

N’Dam and Lemieux will be fighting for the vacant IBF middleweight title at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. Lemieux says he’s going to be gunning for a knockout against N’Dam and he hopes to get him out of there as fast as possible.
