Lemieux v. N'Dam - who wins?

Have you ever seen such an odd bicep as Ndam has?

N'dam - the mental cunt - cost me a decent treble. Can't believe he went the distance. Getting up four times from flash knockdowns is understandable but he went down four times like he was shot. What a tough funker.

Golovkin wont be smiling/shrugging at Lemieux if he catches one of those bombs in the mush.

Surprisingly for me this was the most entertaining fight of the weekend. I say surprising but I mean surprising it went the distance rather than surprising it was so entertaining. N'Dam is teak tough and showed incredible heart to get up from those hooks. Lemieux does leave a lot of openings though and I can see someone with a bit more offensive ability being able to exploit that. Golovkin does seem to have a fairly decent beard but Fenster is right that does not mean he will be able to take a full on smash from Lemieux. Who knows though really? Maybe he has an even better chin than N'Dam? If he does I can hear even more doors being closed on him, but he may not need to prove it if he catches Lemieux early, the guy, like nearly everyone has proved he can be hurt and GGG is surely capable of stopping him.

Two fighters, both usually very capable of jumping on opponents and closing the show early, but a much better boxer in Golovkin. Bring it on soon please, should be a Frank Carson punchline.

I think Golovkin will iron Lemieux out. Like most massive punchers Lemieux is susceptible to getting hurt himself because he's loading up all the time (think Benn). However, Lemieux is going to be seriously dangerous, even if it's only for a few rounds. With power like that nobody could really be surprised if Golovkin got chinned.

Ndam has got some chin and super recoup powers

Those were some heavy knockdowns and you could see he was hurt when he went down but then he has this instant recovery thing.

This is exactly correct. GGG is a big favorite, but Lemieux has dangerous power. His short arms tho! Who can you remember that had such short arms and won a championship?

We're definitely going to see that fight at some point. I think with the shortage of decent fights that both GBP and HBO can currently do we'll probably see Lemieux in one or two more fights before they actually make that. He's an actual Canadian so will be massive box office up there now in a part of the world that loves its fighters so he's got the chance to make some money. So we probably won't see it till 2016.

Now I've said that watch them announce it tomorrow.
