[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions partner Bernard Hopkins, and IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux, are anticipating an eight round stoppage of IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin on October 17th at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

During a recent media function, Lemieux was asked for his prediction on the outcome, and while he was answering a question in French – Hopkins walked up from behind, grabbed the mic and said:

This might be one of those fights where everyone is expecting someone to get KOed and it doesnt happen. Something like Garcia vs Matthysse or maybe Matthysse vs Provo (maybe not so much) but you guys get the point.

wishful thinking from hopkins here.lemieux's going to be a good boy and get stopped inside six rounds.it will be fun while it lasts that's for sure.

Is this the new GBP model? Hopkins picks a side and Oscar picks a side?

Na, you mentioned 3 guys with good chins. Lemiuex's chin has been tested and it's bad. David Lemiuex is gonna get knocked out, stopped, his corner will throw in the towel, etc. Something along those lines, he is not going 12. And this is for sure, it's not a 50-50 fight or some crazy, hard to pick fight.

Sanchez said that Lemieux will go down in 4. Since 4 is earlier than 8, I think GGG gonna win.

You're right that it's not a 50-50 fight, certainly not on paper, but I think that Lemieux definitely has a puncher's chance here. If GGG takes his power early very well, then I'd say the fight is basically over at that point.

That's hilarious. A couple of months ago, Hopkins was on The Fight Game and said that he didn't think there was anyone under 175 who could come close to Golovkin except maybe Ward. Funny how things change when he finds himself as the promoter for GGG's opponent.
