Abel Sanchez, trainer of WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (33-0, 30KOs), is predicting a knockout victory in four rounds when his boxer takes on IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31KOs) on October 17th in the HBO Pay-Per-View main event from New York's Madison Square Garden.

The fight is one of the most dangerous in Golovkin's career and certainly the biggest puncher that he's faced to this point. Golovkin has knocked out his last twenty opponents and most of them in the first six rounds. Martin Murray became the first man to extend Golovkin to the eleventh round earlier this year, but this contest is not expected to last that long.

Sanchez is predicting a feeling out round in the first, before Golovkin starts connect with accurate shots by the second round, and then closes the book on Lemieux in the fourth.

Lemieux captured his world title on June 20th when he dropped former champion Hassan N'dam four times in a dominating performance. Golovkin saw action in May, when he battered overmatched Willie Monroe Jr. for a TKO in six.

"I think that both guys at the beginning will be aware of each other. I think by the time the second round comes around, I think Golovkin will have established his jab and will be pot shotting Lemieux. In the third round, I think they have a good round between the both of them and in the fourth round Golovkin knocks him out," Golovkin told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .
