Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux

[PlasterWraps]

lol, floyd's minions saying this was boring???

I guess they were expecting David to land way more and make it a street fight, and they were surprised that GGG can box(like many of us already suspected) then they got mad because he can box and be offensive and stop guys while showing boxing ability.

While your overall point is good, i don't think you can compare tonight's GGG with Floyd. That was not counterpunching, GGG was actually trying to hurt the opponent.

But then again, floyd was more aggressive at the lower classes.

Come on man, what do you expect? people here only see what is convenient.

They don't like Floyd cause he is a counterpuncher, now they are saying we should like GGG because he counterpunched and boxed tonight. But wait, isn't this why they call Floyd boring?

Personally I don't care. If GGG beat a good opponent by counterpunching and boxing, i'd give him his credit. If hebeat DeGale or Jack like that I would be impressed. Like I said, I care about him fighting a good opponent, not how he fights. I am pointing out though that he fought a boring fight after saying Floyd's style is boring and saying he likes he getting hit hard in the face(HBO faceoff with Kellermen), saying he is like Mike Tyson, that he is Mexican and that he is a street fighter.

Compare this performance to something like Mayweather vs Gatti, who looked like the boring fighter in their first PPV fight? Lemiuex is not better than what Gatti was, #1 ranked JWW and WBC champ at the time.

At least 170 on the unofficial fight night weight.

He was lighter than that, and weighed less than Lemieux.

If Floyd fought like this it wouldn't be boring, dude too pu$$y to do it though, his fragile little hands that he needs to inject that and his diva antics of constantly cuddling up to his opponents.
GGG for the most part used superior movement instead of clinchy bearing but obviously when Floyd does that its magical.

[Kagami Taiga]

Dem haters so mad that Le Mule didnt land that lucky punch, now they need other excuses to downplay GGG.

Always amusing to read the haters comments! KEEP EM COMING.

Not one reasonable person on this site thought lemieux had a chance. It actually went much worse for him than most expected but that's not something to be proud of. Golovkin didn't even bring his A game.

He was lighter than that, and weighed less than Lemieux.

Did you even watch the American broadcast? Max and Lampley said it more than once. He was170 a couple hours before the fight.

agreed with both.

btw the people that complained that this was ppv, bought floyd/berto

Lmao, Floyd has always fought cautious but he never went in for the kill...
Just like the idiotic Floyd fanbase who jumped in and said durrr Floyd will KO Maidana yet in that first fight IF anything Floyd was the one getting the beating atleast GGG didn't let the slugger/brawler do that to him but... TBE doe!!

What?

Why are you fabricating predictions? More people predicted Maidana would win by KO than Floyd. The majority picked Floyd by decision. Maidana was coming off the Broner upset and had a lot of hype behind him and a chance to beat Floyd. Maidana had more votes to beat Floyd than C fighter Lemiuex to beat GGG.

Yes, he used to beat people up in the streets for no reason.

That's a lie.

Do you realize posting false information about people is against boxingscene's rules?

Why are you so upset by GGG's success and popularity.

I used to think you were a good poster, but now you're sinking down to what I would expect from some fool like ShoulderRoll.

Nah they call Floyd boring for picking his opponents, having to constantly clinch and foul his way to victory and in overall fashion just putting on deadbeat performances.

Trade that for GGG performance tonight which was clean, fought at range and balanced he didn't even give Lemieux the chance to get inside and rough him up and you know an opponent like Lemieux would have easily go inside on Floyd and roughed him up but dats why Floyd so good doe omg why GGG not adopt de shoulder roll and take loads of punches then he be TBE!?!?!?!?!?!
