Live Blog: PPV Boxing - Golovkin vs Lemieux

If Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) is feeling the pressure coming into tonight's pay per view match up, it might have less to do with his opponent, David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs), than with the expectations of what the fight should mean. With the retirement of Floyd Mayweather Jr., boxing is looking for another marquee superstar and Golovkin fits the bill, both in personality and style. The one knock against him is he's not American, but the big punch that Golovkin brings to the ring can break the language barrier between him and boxing fans in the United States. Golovkin is already covered in belts, with the IBO middleweight tile, the WBC middleweight title and the WBA super world middleweight title are all on the line against Lemiuex, who puts up his the IBF middleweight title. The fight is on HBO Pay Per View and should begin sometime around 11:30 p.m. EST. Watch it with me. Golovkin has always put on a good show and Lemieux has plenty of knockout power too. We should get a good fight out of this one that just might be worth the money.
