NEW YORK CITY - WBA, IBO and WBC "Interim" Middleweight World Champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin, (33-0, 30KOs) and IBF Middleweight World Champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) hosted their fight week media workout today.

Alongside them was number one Pound-for-Pound Fighter and WBC Flyweight World Champion Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez, (43-0, 37KOs) and Four-Time World Champion in two weight divisions Brian "The Hawaiian Punch" Viloria, (36-4 (22KOs) at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in advance of their anticipated matchups on October 17 at "The Mecca of Boxing" Madison Square Garden.

According to Lemieux, Golovkin was a little big bigger than he expected. One thing that surprised him was the size of Golovkin's head, which Lemieux feels will become a big target in the fight.

"[When I first met him] I was surprised by [the size of] his head. He has a big head. Does he wear caps? He was a bit bigger than I thought he was. He's not too far from my height. He's the size he is. I thought he was smaller though, but face to face he was a bit bigger," Lemieux said.
