Lemieux vs N'Dam

I think Eubank Jr hits very hard, so there may be more damage, but the thought is correct: he should fight in Europe before getting another try on the highest level.

Lemiuex is such an exciting fighter!

I think a fight between him and GGG next year would be amazing. Lemiuex is almost 8 years younger than Golovkin, is certainly faster and appears to hit harder too.

Golovkin is clearly the better boxer. I imagine GGG will opt to be the counterpuncher in this match up. If he just trundles forwards with scant regard for his defence like when Monroe was teeing off on him in his last fight then I see this as a 50/50 and the older man might get humbled.

Lemiuex appears to be improving vastly fight to fight and at 26 I'd advise him to wait another year until Golovkin is 34/35 and he'd have IMO a reasonable chance of pulling off the upset.

Wow, this is going to be a fight with some serious fireworks, many people don't even want to face N'Dam or Lemieux for that matter, both guys can crack and have good beards and not too shabby boxing skills either.

I'm looking forward to it, I can't really call a winner but if N'Dam just sticks to boxing and not allow Lem to cut off the ring and turn this into a bombfest then it may be possible for him to pull it off.

My head tells me it's Lem by KO but my heart tells me that ND can pull it off with just sticking to boxing. Do you go with your head or your heart??

Well it appears that N'Dam wasn't able to actually box until later in the fight but it was a case of a little too late, by the time he finally figured out how to avoid the big punches and was actually winning many of the later rounds it was too late.

Lemieux showed that he can be caught with shots by someone who doesn't mind standing within range and slipping his big, wide left hooks but it was an entertaining bout and I was surprised that ND got up that many times and lasted the distance.

I thought N'Dam would outbox him wide if he didn't get stopped, shows what I know.

Lemieux just cut off the ring from the first bell as we saw. He was almost total aggression.
