When Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux stepped into the ring last night (Sat., Oct. 17, 2015) inside Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., many expected an all-out slugfest between arguably the two most dangerous men in the Middleweight division.
Instead, we got a clinical dissection. For eight rounds, Golovkin systematically beat down Lemieux, working behind a crushing jab to ultimately outland his foe three-to-one.
Lemieux (34-3, 31 KO) was never in the fight, completely unable to get past his foe's jab. More than 50 landed in the first two rounds alone. Then came the power punches.
