    Lemieux went down on a knee and for a fraction of a second looked like he was getting up then GGG hit him . It's boxing sometimes these things happen , the ref sometimes is in position to prevent it sometimes not , it is boxing .

    Protect yourself at all times .

    If Lemeux had of been knocked silly by the punch yeah. Depends on the ref. It was clearly a cheap shot. I would have deducted two points at the least. Golovkin knows better than that. The fighter shouldn't have to be KO'd or seriously injured for there to be a penalty.

    People saying "the punch was in motion" as get a complete get of jail free card doesn't really apply here because you can clearly see what G saw. That is, David on his way down. What G did is try to try to get a free shot in before David was technically down. Problem is he knew damn well, or should've, that his shot would not make it in time. He also knew that he would get the "shot in motion before" argument on his side. Legal but some dirty ass borderline gray area stuff similar to Floyd Ortiz.

    Perhaps. But I think it will be competitive for at least 6 rounds, which should be enough to do the trick to open the possibility for a lucrative rematch.

    I agree that if Floyd goes for #50 (which I'm convinced he will unless IV-Gate continues bringing more question than answers), it will probably be against Pac. But if not Pac, the Cotto-Canelo winner is the clear 2nd choice, and probably the choice that will do the most for Floyd's legacy.

    And incidentally, I don't see all that much improvement in Canelo, and even a slowed down Floyd will be a stylistic nightmare for Canelo.

    I don't see Floyd having any troubles in rematches with Pac, Cotto, or Canelo. In fact, I'd be more inclined to believe he does better in rematches against all of them, him having a far higher ring IQ than the trio of fellow-cash-cows.

    If the WBC being subject to US courts was something to fear, they'd have stopped making up their own rules as they go along, long ago.

    I was actually glad he didn't pulled a Dirrell even tho that could won him another big payday. Lemieux does deserve praise and respect. Even tho his skills were limited he fought his was back from defeat to a world title and more than that he took on a fighter the most are avoiding in his first defense.

    Agreed, it was *****y of Lemieux to take on Golovkin after only just winning the title. He'd have been better off waiting, and milking his strap for cash, so business-wise he made the wrong move, but it's always admirable to see guys seeking out tough challenges.

    Jones Jr. should not have been DQ'ed. The whole boxing game, especially for the elite fighters is based on lightning like reflexes. Both GGG and Roy were in the moment. Take away a point, give time for opponent to recover.

    You're confusing having honour and cojones, with a lack of ring smarts.

    What you're saying is similar to saying that it's ok to steal a million dollars if you're certain you won't get caught.

    Or that it's OK to be roided to the gills if you're certain you won't be caught.


    Andre dirrell was a balless bittch.

    Montel too.



    Lemieux is a man.

    Deep down how many wanted GGG DQ'd?

    This was already addressed but it would have to have been ruled an intentional foul. An accidental foul the fighter cannot continue, he loses.

    Super Hans mentioned this rule.
