Comments Thread For: Hopkins: 16-1 Odds? Lemieux Can Adjust and Beat GGG

[-Kev-]

This is a 2-1 fight at best, whoever lands the real bomb first will win this fight. This isn't a fight about skills, this isn't a fight about who is going to box better, it's a fight where the bombs are going to decide the fight. You don't put odds at 16-1 for two guys are going to straight up meet in the center of the ring and go to town on each other. That's just foolish, maybe the odd makers know something we don't. I like Golovkin but this will not be an easy fight by any stretch. He could afford to take shots from other opponents but most of them lacked one punch ko power, this kid does not. Money is still on Golovkin but if the odd makers are going to make it 16 - 1, it's hard not to put some money on the opponent.

Huh? Since when did GGG become Amir Khan? Did you see him take Curtis Stevens power punches or not?

Surely that can be coached into him over a 4 year period?

No, Lemieux is who he is, he'll never use a different approach. Doesn't have that good a jab or reach, in all actuality he isn't that big a '60 which sucks for him.

Sorry but in Lem's case he cannot adjust his chin. There's no such thing as adjusting your chin, he just doesn't have the physical advantages of say a Wladimir Klitschko who is just so much much taller and has superior reach than all of his opponents so he adjusted his style. Lem doesn't have that luxury.

Chin no - agreed. Other stuff yes.

In what world do you live in for you to say 2-1 at best lol.......the world I live in is golovkin broke Rubio in a heartbeat and Rubio Ko'ed lemeuix....also the world I live in is golovkin lost 5 out of 365 amateur bouts...2 were robberies as well and in the professional ranks broke evey fighter that had the guts to face him in the ring.......lemeuix will be another Canadian lucien bute and Mathew Hilton....when they face a real killer they get exposed......golovkin has far to much power and boxing ability for lemeuix.....lemeuix has no more than punchers chance and should be 4-1 at best

The odds are that because that's how much money is coming in on GGG smdh

GGG will win this fight in the first 3 rounds IF Lemieux comes at him... if Lemieux tries to box then it could go 6... GGG hits too hard and your trying to convince people that GGG should be worried about a guy whos a B- fighter

To be fair he only got hurt after he gassed. His stamina has seemingly increased under Ramsey.

16-1 seems a bit out of touch. Based on GGG's reputation more so than the actual odds of Lemi winning I think. Lemi is a live guy with a big punch. He is the underdog, but some people either underrate him or overrate GGG to think he couldn't possibly catch a KO shot from a real guy with real power.

Thanks for having a brain.

[lefthook2daliva]

Sanchez say GGG making adjustments in training. I'd reckon more lateral movement?

See this is kinda' what I think. I mean, it'll probably be the brawl we're expecting, but maybe not?

Maybe we haven't seen all of Golovkin's game 'cause he hasn't felt threatened?

Maybe he'll box and take his time dismantling Lemieux 'cause he doesn't want to get hit by him?

I dunno'. It's going to be interesting.
