I Was Stopped a Bit Too Early’ says David Lemieux

10/19/201510/19/2015 Olly Campbell

After dropping his IBF middleweight strap on Saturday night against Kazakhstan’s murderous punching WBA champion, Gennady Golovkin, David Lemieux has extended full respect to the man they call ‘triple-G,’ though still insisted the fight was stopped too soon.

Lemieux was on the wrong end of a pounding from Golovkin, who displayed the superior footwork that has fast become a trademark, expertly cutting off the ring and teeing off with big shots on the brave and gutsy Canadian, who was eventually halted in the 8th by referee Steve Willis.

‘2nd Place Ain’t a Prize’ says Bernard Hopkins

10/19/201510/19/2015 Olly Campbell

Golden Boy Promotions’ Bernard Hopkins, has stated that while he wasn’t ‘disappointed’ in David Lemieux’s performance against Gennady Golovkin on Saturday night in New York, he thought that he was going to ‘perform better’ than he did.

Hopkins gave full credit to Golovkin for the ram-rod jab that he threw at a frenetic pace, going on to suggest that Lemieux tactically fought the wrong fight against the taller man, and that his crouching, come-forward style – along with his haircut – was his downfall in the end.

Gonzalez & Golovkin endowed with power and artistry

10/18/2015 Paul Strauss

A packed house at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY watched two of the best P4P fighters in the world demonstrate their greatness. Both fighters faced what many thought would be their biggest challenges to date. Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez 44-0-0 (38KO) seems to slice and dice his opponents. His punches are so accurate and sharp. His attack is relentless.

The way he cuts off the ring is a thing of beauty. He is like a mongoose darting this way and that way, in and out, leaving bite marks every time the distance allows. There is no let up and soon the prey (Viloria) starts “numbing up”. His legs start failing him. His reflexes slow, and leave him in harms way. He tries to step away and get a breath, but it’s as though his pursuer is attached to him.

It’s probably somewhere in between.

Lemieux: I Saw Caution In Golovkin’s Eyes

10/15/201510/15/2015 Olly Campbell

Ahead of his massive middleweight unification against Gennady Golovkin at Madison Square Garden this weekend, big-hitting IBF champion David Lemieux has promised he is going in ‘with a nice package to deliver.’

Evidently referring to his vaunted knockout power, the French-Canadian champion is relishing the underdog tag, which he claims will make victory all the sweeter when he manages to detonate on Golovkin’s chin, claiming that in the face-to-face with HBO’s Max Kellerman, he saw ‘caution’ in the WBA champion’s eyes.
