Comments Thread For: De la Hoya: Golovkin-Lemieux is Dangerous For Both

[vitali1999]

Very entertaining fight, I see both hurting each other but somewhere between the 4th and 6th rounds ggg gets the best of him and scores the knockout. Both are very big knockout punchers so DE LA Hoya is right.

Chins will be tested as both guys have leaky defense...

Someone is walking into a bomb and getting stopped

Lemieux is a bum, lost to marco antonio rubio.

Fighters aren't allowed to be recognized for improvements? Or are they, according to you, relegated to their worst performance?

Floydie had a fake injury and really lost to Castillo. A bum he is.

Catching on yet?

Stevens never caught golovkin flush on the point of the chin because golovkin kept his chin tucked. Stevens may have grazed him a few times but never caught him flush. And both stevens and rosado had their moments in their fights with golovkin and had him backing up at certain points in the fight. So he can be hurt. Had stevens been able to catch him flush things may have been a bit different. But both of them made the fight competitive and they are both b level fighters. Davids speed and power are going to present some problems for ggg. If he greatly improves his defense and works the body well this fight could be very interesting. Golovkin is still a flawed and unproven and untested fighter.

You have an odd understanding of "making the fight competitive". Usually it involves competitive action, you see, also sustained for more than 10 seconds.

Lemieux has a punchers chance, he had a punchers chance against Rubio too but that didn't work out.

You sound ridiculous and absurd. Spoken like a true golovkin groupie. Golovkin isn't the bigger puncher in this fight david is. David is also faster and more explosive. Just look at the outcome of the rosado fights respectively and you will see that david dished out more punishment and damage than golovkin did. Rosado was floored repeatedly in the fight with david and even suffered a broken orbital bone. He was never floored in the golovkin fight and never suffered any broken bones. He was just stopped on cuts but was prepared to continue. He was looking for a way out when he fought david. Golovkin is a bit more skilled but not much. The notion that his is far superior in terms of skill is straight BS. David just needs to really tighten up his defense, work the body hard and well, put his punches together and this fight could be very interesting.

As a boxing fan I want what I presume all other fans want too, to see the most exciting fights featuring the best guys around. This has excitement and entertainment seemingly built in because Lemieux will come to fight with belief, determination and confidence in his own power. Question probably is, how long will the entertainment last? I'd love it if David were able to compete effectively and land clean enough, often enough, to disturb Golovkin and put some doubt into him but it's tough imo to imagine he will do much if any better than the others who have so far tried. GGG has never yet looked anything but sturdy, his footwork and control of range are so good he always seems well balanced and in the right place to unload, and he does that to no set formula but just jumps on whatever targets expose themselves, up, down or round the sides, and lets it flow accordingly. Looks effortless. Come on David. At least find something to ruffle the guy.

Lemieux has no chance he is a B grade fighter
