    Wow! Can't believe that this fight has actually been made. Far play to both, especially Lemieux as he only just won a vacant title last time out & his first defence is this! That's *****.

    Same as most of GGG or Lemieuxs fights I don't see it going past 5rounds, only this time I have no clue who wins it, if they go too war that is, if it's boxed clever then GGG grinds Him down - I don't think that's the case though ..!

    lemineux's chin doesn't seem great though, where as GGG's has looked pretty solid so far. Rubio beat him as did alcine who macklin did in a round around the same time, he then lost to brian rose

    fair play to Lemieux for taking it, thought he'd get a defence or 2 in before looking for the GGG payday. Don't think the fight will be remotely competitive though. think bookies will open GGG at around 1/10

    It's not so much that GGGs chin will be tested with "one shot power" it's the sheer volume that Lemieux will be throwing them. Yep David is suspect defo, however this fight genuinely excites me because of his offence, he knows all about his chin & he will know he loses in a boxing match so he will come to go to war, which in that case ... Anything can happen ... Never seen GGG under the cosh that way have we , always been his way.

    I thought macklin would cause him a few problems and go in all guns blazing, but seemed to get scared when he got in the ring. Think Lemieux will do the same thing, lose an early exchange then back off until GGG catches up with him.

    Terrific spectacle, the spirit of Zale v Graziano lives on in the legendary division.

    Will be a short fight that will help build GGG name.

    Lemiuex only fights one way,exciting but so easy to hit.Can't see it going beyond 3 or 4 rounds.

    Golovkin has a much better defense than Lemiuex, good chin anyway, but he has a great defense whenever he wants to use it. Golovkin by knockout!!!

    great fight. glad to see GGG fighting at middleweight and not giving up weight advantages to a bigger name.

    one of the best fights that could possibly be made atm ....

    be interested to see how bad/fast GGG gasses against a live opponent ...could be a very close fight imo

    great fight think be over quite early lemiuex easy to hit think ggg takes him out in 3 or 4 should be great action tho the way both tend to fight. fair play Lemieux taking the fight as seems many ducking ggg

    GGG should stop him in a total, but short war. But Leimeux is a live underdog.

    It'd be worth betting on David for the first 5 rounds. There will be good odds on him doing the job due to Gennady's hype, IMO.

    Fair play to David and his handlers for taking on the challenge, though!

    Cotto, Quillin - Take note, that's how it's done!

    i suspect GGG is over rated and this could be a very close fight indeed
