Golovkin vs. Lemieux promises all-out action from the moment the first bell rings. It’s by far the best fight available for Golovkin right now. Lemieux is on a hot streak, and the likes of Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez are busy with each other. Putting the fight on PPV seem a bit strange, but HBO is trying to build up a new star. Considering you’ll have to buy it at home to watch, that makes attending the fight an even better idea, and it should be a fun environment at Madison Square Garden.
