By Dan Ambrose: Former IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-3, 31 KOs) will be back in the ring two months from now in March, possibly against former world title challengers Curtis Stevens (27-5, 20 KOs) and/or Willie Monroe Jr. (19-2, 6 KOs), according to Dan Rafael. Both Stevens and Monroe were knocked out in the past by champion Gennady Golovkin.
Lemieux, 27, was stopped by Golovkin in the 8th round last October in a fight that was televised by HBO pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden in New York. Lemieux talked a good game ahead of time, but he failed to back up his talk in the ring. Indeed, Lemieux was timid in the fight and didn’t attack Golovkin the way he had said he was going to.
