Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux

[MDPopescu]

I like to see if Lemieux will be able to walk GGG down and unload against the ropes.

Why don't you put some money on the fight?

Why don't you put some money on the fight?

The American lines at BV are not open yet -- and Im sure the odds are going to be too wide for the risk.

I like like how David keeps his cool since the beginning... Quiet confidence and no bubblegum BS throwing... He's 100% ready and 100% focused ... Can't wait ...

People who worry about GGG's defense really have never watched GGG fight. He has one of the best defenses I have ever seen from a fighter who actually gets in there to fight and not spend the evening on a defensive strategy, running from his opponent. Most of the shots people think he is taking are actually deflected off his gloves or glancing blows as he moves slightly out of the way.

Everyone likes to point to Geale's clean shot that he took as he counterpunched Geale and took him out of the fight. If you actually take the time to look at that punch by Geale, you will see that it does not land as cleanly and as flush as you thought it did. Golovkin is moving his head back out of the way and it never makes as solid a contact as it appears.

There is nothing to worry about as far as his defense is concerned. If he does not want to get hit, he will not get hit. He has not gone almost 400 fights without getting knocked down for nothing.

Very few people seem to get this. GGG controls distance and often uses his jab to paw and get into position. Then he throws short shots into well timed openings. These are very effective, very quickly breaking people down.

Lemieux puts all of himself into impressive swings. But he's wide open and this is catnip to Golovkin.

I feel like Lemieux will run into a huge shot because of his tendency to get wild.

Lemieux fast starts n pressure will be a problem for GGG, i think he will push GGG back n idk if GGG can handle that, i was seeing an easy win for GGG when fight was announced

But Lemieux has a lot of confidence n knows its time for redemption for those earlier losses

Power vs power will always be a toss up fight

Very pumped for this fight, i was seeing a one sided beatdown from GGG, but idk now lol

Just seen Lemieux's open workout and he looks quick and sharp on those mitts man. I know it's not a lot to judge by, but at least he looks ready for saturday night.

Golovkin looked good too, but didn't seem to take it out of 1st gear.
