by David P. Greisman - The person who most wants to face Gennady Golovkin is the man who just got done being punched for seven and a half rounds by the heaviest hands in the middleweight division.
David Lemieux wanted more. He wanted more just minutes after the referee stepped in to end what was becoming an increasingly one-sided beating. And he wants another shot at Golovkin even though he’s already taken 280 shots from him.
“I could’ve continued. I’m very disappointed the referee stopped it. I could’ve continued,” Lemieux said, speaking truthfully yet bravely, given that he’d been outboxed in the beginning and outclassed until the end, that Golovkin had knocked him down with a left hook to the body in the fifth and hurt him with the same shot in the same spot in the eighth, and that little of what Lemieux threw himself had landed and what little of it did had little effect.
“I’ll meet him in the near future,” Lemieux said. “I want things to be settled in the near future.”
Lemieux’s sentiments weren’t just sentimental, but understandable. He’d been counted out before after losing twice in 2011, stopped in seven rounds by Marco Antonio Rubio and short on the scorecards against Joachim Alcine. He’d fought his way back into consideration, then into contention. He’d only just won a world title, and now less than four months later it was gone. He’d won nine fights in a row in the span of three years to get into the biggest fight of his career. After one night, after barely half an hour, he faced being forced to get back in line.
