David Lemieux has promised to make history when he steps in the ring at Madison Square Garden on October 17th, and faces Gennady Golovkin in middleweight unification for the WBA/IBO/IBF world titles.

Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is very confident as he continues his training camp and says he saw something that he liked when he went face to face with the unbeaten champion and looked into his eyes.

"I saw some things that I love and I will use during the fight," said Lemieux to Le Journal de Montreal. "When you meet an opponent's eyes, the eyes do not lie. I saw what I wanted to know. I noted weaknesses in him and I think I now have a small advantage psychologically."

Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) has knocked out nearly every opponent in his career and most of them were battered way before the championship rounds. Lemieux understands the danger involved and that motivates him even further as the contest draws closer.

"It will be a lion against another lion," said Lemieux. "I have all the tools necessary to fight with Golovkin and defeat him in a fight that will make history."

"I know what I can bring and I will bring to the table for this fight. I think I will be even better than my last two performances. I have things to prove to myself."
