Punches with bad intentions, took some and gave a lot.
It was a good fight.

That was never the criticism.
Golovkin bashed up another overmatched fighter. Nothing interesting happened.Last edited by Dirk Diggler UK; 10-18-2015, 01:48 AM.

If Lemiuex is another over matched opponent, then all middleweights will be overmatched. Tell me one other fighter in the middleweight division, that would definitely beat Lemieux? I can't think of any I would bet heavily on.
Jacobs, Quillin, Cotto, Lee - all of those guys will probably share the same destiny as Lemiuex did tonight and will you say the same thing? GGG is cleaning out the division, one at a time.
Next year I'm thinking Golovkin vs Lee will happen (if he beats BJS), then he'll be WBO/WBA/IBF champ for sure.
It's not GGGs fault he is the best in the world, and it certainly wasn't boring.
