I kinda agree unless he's learned form his Rubio disaster he will be in deep trouble when GGG starts to land on him.
He has power and decent speed but I think he might make it interesting early but by the mid to late rounds he will be worn down I'm afraid.
That's why this isn't a great main event for a ppv, it's too one-sided a fight. It might be fun for a few rounds but everyone knows Golovkin is a big favorite here. Lemieux is a good middleweight, top 5 rated, has a title, and is on a strong winning streak(N'Dam, Rosado, and Guerrero) but he's not on Golovkin's level and he's probably getting ko'ed. This fight itself is an HBO level fight and not a ppv one but when added with the undercard that's being discussed( if they do happen) then I'm fine with this being a ppv card.
I agree this fight shouldn't be PPV it's a joke. What has Lemieux done to be considered a PPV fight? It should be on HBO not PPV. HBO screwed up here, the fight will not do good numbers. Cotto-GGG is PPV GGG-Canelo is PPV Ward-GGG is PPV Froch-GGG is PPV but GGG-Lemieux isn't PPV.
Wow, so it is GGG fans' fault for him trying to fight the best in his own weight class, or even better, his fans' fault for him being the favorite at any MW fight? At the same time you haters claim GGG has never been a good boxer. :verysad He is a natural middleweight and tries to unify the belts! Do you get it? And spare me the "Oh, but he challanged Ward/ he is already 33". And if he stays at MW and retires as the unified champ, so what?
I think Lemieux has a puncher's chance. If he can make it to the mid rounds it could very be closer than I thought.
Dispite all lemuiexs positives and punchers chance, this is a mismatch It's like wlad at heavyweight , the gap between him and the rest of the division is vast
It's unifacation fight. It will be epic regardless of the outcome. Two of the biggest power punchers in boxing pit against each other. This is going to be on some gladiator level type ****. You know Lemiuex has ballls and is coming to fight this is his first title defense by self admission lol god damn (where u at cotto).He is most definitely getting ko'd but don't count that crazy sob out till the fight is over. Lemiuex was a decorated amatuer he can take care of himself. this should be a foty candiate let's just be happy it's here.
