Okay, a serious prediction this time. I think Golovkin will make Lemiuex look like he has no power, like he'll walk down the shots like a boss and just land big to the body and Lemiuex will take a knee. I think Lemiuex will get up, but the fight will be stopped ultimately by the referee after Lemieux takes a second knee. I think this will happen in round 5.
Lemieux will be very aggressive out of the gate from round 1 to 3-4, he'll do a suicide by cop type thing by coming straight at Golovkin and forcing him to pull the trigger on monster counters. The more and more I think about it, Lemieux's determination and pride will force Golovkin to put him down early.
Serious? I think if Lemieux wins, it only goes 1-2 rounds, maaaaybe 3. There's signs that he's coming out to blast GGG early.
Hmm...it would seem the only way that could be bigger than ko6 is if GGG is an absolute mega-star. Is he??
Golovkin dominates and then gets micromanaged from the color of his gloves to how he tied his shoe laces.
I think if GGG doesn't put a serious dent in Lemiuex in the first 2 rounds then. We will have serious fight on our hands. You can almost set your watch to Golovkin getting stuck into a predictable Rhythm that by rounds 3 or 4 if his opponent is still in good health he gets to tag GGG flush. Now, whether you believe GGG creates a deliberate 'big drama show' at that point when the opponent (Stevens, Murray, Monroe Jnr) gets to tee off for 4 or 5 clean shots ... Or that he has got so focussed in his own work that he is incredibly slow to react to getting tagged , is up to you. I think it is the latter, and I think if Lemiuex gets to land 4 or 5 in a row on GGG he's on the floor or the fight is over. So my opinion is it comes down to whether GGG can take Lemiuex out in 1 or 2 before he zones out as usual and gets tagged, or if that does happen how he reacts. We could be in for fight of the year if Lemiuex gets past the first 2 unscathed.
