Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Lemieux Agreement Reached For 10/17 in NY

Love this match-up.

Golovkin Lemieux done deal Oct. 17 at MSG.

Golovkin will sell out the Garden.

Ya GBP has multiple city guys who will fight on the undercard, Ochoa, and Sadam Ali etc.

And there won't be a hardcore fan who lives in NYC who won't be there, it won't be hard to sell this none bit. HBO wants GGG to be a star, there going to put an all out marketing campaign behind this.

so what lemeiux has done lately doesn't matter? those losses were almost 4 years ago. less than 2 years ago cotto lost to trout so i guess he's a bum and canelo will destroy him. waste of time.

It matters, but thats all he's done is beat N'Dam like I stated.

And cmon man you can't compare Cotto to Lemieux. Cotto is a HOFer who's fought a ton of good to great fighters, Lemieux is a guy who's been moved well thru the ranks & is 1 for 3 vs good fighters. GGG will be his first taste at a better than good fighter & I can't see it going well, but it is boxing so of course anything can happen & thats why we watch.

I want to, I don't know if I will or not. I cant really plan that far ahead.

Decent fight. Golovkin gets a belt from it and maybe a good payday. Does nothing for his resume tho.

[Eff Pandas]

hard to complain with this fight tho i think its a bigger mis match then people realize

Agree. I feel similar about this fight as I did Canelo vs Kirkland. Should be fun but no way its close or competitive unless GGG's talent has been a mirage or something. I do look forward to all the Lemieux getting KO'd gifs that'll be in people's sigs come Oct. 18 just like with Kirkland.

Good stuff..i like this fight :ROCK:
Roman Gonzalez on the undercard would be a nice bonus.

Fair play to De La Hoya.
