Who has a bigger chance to pull the upset: Brian Viloria or David Lemieux?

[Chrismart]

Viloria is a good fighter. I'd just go with Lemieux though because he can really punch.

some of you guys never seen chocolate fight aside from his recent hbo fights huh?

chocolate gets tagged a lot.

some of you may not see it in his offensive blowouts.

but chocolate gets tagged clean way more than ggg.

viloria can really punch too.

probably punch harder than roman tbh.

Lemieux because GGG welcomes punishment and even gives you free shots, I cant remember when Gonzalez has been busted up GGG however has been touched.

I don't think that Golovkin will "welcome punishment" this time here. He will go by the book with the southpaw hard puncher: "move to the left and hit with straight rights"... and maybe go for the body.

GGG doesn't let ppl punch him.

it's just when he's going for ko, the opp usually doesn't have it anymore, so GGG doesn't worry about def.

there comes a point when you know the other guy can't hurt you or is weakened.

that's when ppl go more offensive to take them out.

Both are just showcase opponents. HBO wants to build up Golovkin and Gonzalez as stars. One guy is a little old now, 34 years old.

Then Lemiuex is being thrown at your screen as a powerful guy, power this, power that, it'll end in a KO and no one knows who's going to win! Anyone can go down anytime! Lemieux is new and improved, he was young when he lost to Alcine and Rubio. Tune in!.

Yeah, they are showcase fights. HBO tryna build a PPV star in Golovkin and tryna get their next Pacquiao in Gonzalez.

True. I noticed that in the Yaegashi fight, I said it but I looked like a hater because I am very critical of him and his resume. But Yaegashi culd not miss, and those some clean power punches he was landing. Unfortunately there was not much behind those punches. But you could tell if a puncher gets Gonzalez that frequently through 12 rounds, he will suffer a short career.

Definitely 'yes'...

I was speaking about the early rounds.
... But anyway, we don't know how Lemieux responds to a real pressure fighter like Golovkin...
... In fact there are various game plans Golovkin may come with... He may be cautious, assess David's movement and box safely, he may observe Lemieux and counter him badly, a.s.o.

Those highlights show me 2 things.

1. Hs power and the way he throws his punches with such conviction. You better not be in his way when he is unleashing those combinations.

2. On the other hand, he is very wild and those highlights show that he can be outboxed.

roman has great offense.

he has good def too.

but it seems he only plays d after getting tagged.

after he gets tagged 1 or even 2 times, then he starts slipping, blocking punches.

viloria ain't no showcase opponent.

you'll see.

viloria has more power than anyone roman has faced.
