By Dan Ambrose: IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) has a reputation of starting quickly in his fights and going out looking for fast knockouts. With his big power in either hand, Lemieux frequently is able to score early knockouts or knockdowns in his fights.
Abel Sanchez, the trainer for WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs), suspects that Lemieux will be told to take it easy and not try and slug with Golovkin early on when they face each other on October 17th on HBO pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden in New York.
