james kerry Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Lemieux also has a good KO record. Hope he could last the distance. Gennady has not been tested over 12 rounds, with Murray managed to stretch him to 11 before KO early this year, and Gennady certainly looks tired.

Cableaddict Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux It's a fascinating fight, but I'm not too worried for Golovkin. We haven't seen him face a big puncher since, well, Stevens I guess. - And in that fight, he took very few chances. Golovkin is a fighter that often doesn't mind getting hit a little, if that means he can stay in the pocket, control the fight, and be ready for every mistake his opponent makes. It lets him "keep his eye on the prize," much like Kovalev. Also, he uses a lot of head slips and partial diffusion, and seems to have a great sense of when a punch can hurt him vs when it can't. It's not even that he's picked up bad habits with some of his recent, non-potent opposition, he simply adjusts his style based on his opponents' power. Lemieux definitely has a puncher's chance, even a very decent chance, but you'd have to be insane to bet on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Re: GGG vs David Lemieux Interestingly enough, I think Gonzalez - Viloria has just about the exact same dynamic going on. Viloria is powerful & dangerous, but as long as Chocolatito fights smart, uses his speed & head movement and doesn't do anything stupid, the slower Viloria will not find an answer. If Gonzalez gets to aggressive and stays in the pocket too much, then Viloria has a decent chance of landing some bombs.

Gerald Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux Like a lot of other people, I see Lemieux having some success in early exchanges but beyond 4 founds GGG will break him down and stop him. GGG has shown enough in the chin department to show he isn't isn't overly vulnerable to getting clipped and stopped unless he walks on to something huge (which I don't expect him to). Looking forward to the early fireworks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeli3000 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux Got to go with GGG his amatuear pedigree speaks for itself. i predict a KO inside 4 rounds. Lemiux has lost before and been stopped so easy work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredkubin Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux I think Golovkin has two major assets that Lemieux doesn´t have: He is really tough, stays completely cool under fire and never does anything wild. A true professional! His condition is also much better than Lemieux´. Both can bang, but I think Lemieux will wilt once he tastes the power of Golovkin. I predict an early to mid round KO for Golovkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict an early to mid round KO for Golovkin. I agree with everything except Lemieux's conditioning. I think he's in MORE better shape than in years past. He looked great at the end of the Rosado fight. Golovkin may wear him down, with body shots & relentless stalking, but I doubt Lemieux will gas out.

LondonRingRules Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux --- Couple of notes: Ten days out and Lemieux was at 175 and G approx 10 lbs lighter, so on fight nite he may well be 10-15 lbs heavier and the stronger. Reports are Viloria had an all time camp whereas Choco has been struggling with weight and new glory of glowing expectations. End of the day, I think G may surprise with his boxing and Choco may struggle with Viloria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux Lemieux's been a surprise to me - I thought he was overhyped to start with, then exposed by successive defeats.Since then, he's turned into a decent little fighter, so who knows?

Bickle85 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux Tyson vs Bruno for me, Golovkin being Tyson. Good fight while it lasts, Lemieux gonna have some success without impressing GGG too much and then getting outgunned by the more skilled fighter.

Cableaddict Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux If Lemieux has the power to knock GGG down, we have an interesting fight. Of course he does! In fact, I'd guess that Lemieux actually hits harder than Golovkin. The problem is, when he throws those huge bombs, he tends to leave himself open, and Golovkin is one of the deadliest counterpunchers in the game.

gavpowell Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux Of course he does! . Not necessarily - Golovkin may have a chin like a mountainside, Chuvaloesque. He'[s never been off his feet, amateur or pro, so we don't know what it takes to put him down, and Lemieux's KO record is largely built on journeymen(though so is Golovkin's untiul the past couple of years or so). So many unknowns in this fight - can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux I think this has the potential to be fight of the year.

Zippy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux I'm really looking forward to this fight. Not long to go now! Been discussing this fight with a few casual boxing fans at work, they've seen Golovkin fight a few times before but like most people had never heard of Gonzalez so I've had to remind them to make sure they watch the undercard Gonzalez vs Viloria. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxNation schedule is 2-7am - Probably around 4. Boxnation website says Roman Gonzalez vs Brian Viloria and Tureano Johnson vs Eamonn O'Kane from 2am. Not sure if they will show anything else.

WelshDevilRob Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux If Lemieux has the power to knock GGG down, we have an interesting fight. I think he does. Though, I think GGG will fight a smarter fight and Lemieux is still abit raw and ragged at times. I certainly give Lemieux a good shot at winning.

The_budweiser Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Re: GGG vs David Lemieux I loved GGG defensive side of the game. Every time Lemieux threw a punch, especially early on, GGG either blocked or just took a step backwards to avoid the punch before deciding whether or not to counter back. Cracking right hook in round 4 by GGG. Loved the ref's reaction, he lifted his chin in the air as if to say wow. GGG shouldn't be punching a fighter when he was on his knees. I don't care who the boxer is but the ref should have done more, he bottled it. That wasn't accidental; he threw the punch after Lemieux was on the canvas, it wasn’t as if it was in the middle of a flurry. I was disappointed in Lemieux, it was clear his game plan wasn’t working and instead of changing it he seemed to get more wreckless and desperate and it played right into GGG’s hands.
