He Dared to Taunt GOLOVKIN in the Ring, And Got Schooled!

🥊 Witness what happens when a challenger taunts the mighty Gennady Golovkin inside the ring.
#GennadyGolovkin #Boxing

[@adambaker9712]

One of the best Middleweights of all time and had one of the strongest chins in boxing history. Guy was perfect for the sport, always super humble and respectful and always gave his fans a good show!

[@bamzyus6765]

Are you talking about me?

[@drewfife5169]

This was a very special fighter. A high level of technical skill, a brutally strong man with power in both hands, a granite chin and a come forward dominating style that made him so enjoyable to watch, and all the time, a gentleman outside of the ring. Much missed.

[@leewright7623]

Absolutely and very professional on top of all the hard work and talent.

[@kevinorellanaable]

No he wasn't. He fought nothing but small journeymen with no power. See how scared he was to let his right hand go against canelo

[@sicfrynut]

he was avoided by most fighters, scared to lose. watch the video with the volume up next time. way too obvious you don't follow boxing very well or you would know this. and he's a bum by losing to one of the best fighters in this weight class ? this didn't happen that long ago either so there's no reason you are clueless about that.@@kevinorellanaable

[@antonpaco]

Agree. Trple GGG is a power machine in the ring and a gentleman outside, his performance against Lemiex was devastating.

[@kevinorellanaable]

@@sicfrynut that was a false narrative that sheep like you always repeat. Ggg avoided moving up or down in weight. Avoided ward. 160 was weak before canelo got there. Nobody significant was avoiding ggg. Gggs resume is trash. You clearly don't understand boxing. You're a casual that gets fooled by knockouts

[@John3.16saves]

Golovkin has power in such seemingly casual punches. Just tosses out a jab, guys head goes flying back

hahahahah. Did he have a choice?

That liver hit was his trade mark.

Thing about that punch, he comes wide around from the side, leaning, and still able to deliver enough blunt force trauma to cripple the opponent.

The way triple G operates behind the jab is amazing.

He hooks and jabs with his left so well, with great power. His opponents were not able to defend the lefts. Then GGG would combo and completely catch them flatfooted

I actually applaud Lemieux. He stayed in there and fought for his life.

Unfortunately, he looked more like Pepe Lepieux

[@garywagner2466]

On behalf of all Canadians, I apologize for Lemieux’s haircut. Sometimes if you fall asleep in the woods a randy moose will lick your head clean. Clearly, Lemieux woke up 2/3 of the way through that process. Sorry.

[@gravityprint]

Haircut aside he fought the good fight.

[@jagitmax]

I think the moose bent him over and drilled him too !

[@enriquemurillo5456]

G man always keeps his cool.

[@drewfife5169]

You can see this commonality in all great fighters. Concentration. To consistently succeed at a high level one must, always, maintain focus and remain calm. One mistake, one let down of any kind against top caliber fighters will cost you the match.

[@mygame5347]

[@cliffwheeler7357]

That hairstyle was a problem for Lemieux. Every time Golovkin landed a jab Lemieux's hair flew around, accentuating the power he was being hit with, which has to have an effect on the judges scoring the fight.

[@neilbuckard723]

Gennady was and still is quality he says nothing because he doesn't have too hes just amazing

[@ii-qe1yn]

golovkins style is poetry in motion

[@gate2wire365]

Lemiux Is a soldier 😮 kept stepping forward

[@honestchris7472]

Being a soldier and stepping forward is rarely a good policy when you are being knocked back all of the time, Lemiux is a brave fighter and GGG is a technical boxer, both have great punching power but that only comes into effect when the punch lands.

[@markpriestley7884]

That left hand is like a sledgehammer of Golvokin

[@tomahawky1]

GGG was fun to watch, a master technician in the ring with a lot of power.

[@phazonclash]

My compatriot David Lemieux has all the courage in the world, and formidable power, but everything was going too fast for him that night. There are many levels in boxing, and Golovkin was many levels ahead of David. With that said, the title is a tad misleading. Lemieux never taunted Golovkin or disrespected him. He knew the task in front of him was colossal

[@wmden1]

From what I saw and heard, there was no disrespect, or intentions of it. The title of this video was embellished for clickbait. I had never seen or heard of either fighter, I just ran across this video. The Canadian put up a good fight. He just needs a little more time and to acquire a little more speed and experience, from the best I could tell. Golovkin already had all of that, and knew what he was doing.

[@tedgoodfellow9103]

I agree with you, phazonclash - I didn't see any unpleasantness from David Lemieux. Some of the commentary was a bit silly, claiming the Canadian was about to collapse while he was actually taking the fight to GGG (who was a brilliant boxer). It's not surprising many boxers avoided him. Credit to David for taking on the challenge! Regards from Blighty :).

[@BoingBB]

The title is pure clickbait, like many others on KZbin these days (I wish KZbin would do something about them). Lemieux never taunted Golovkin at all, in fact he was very respectful even though totally outclassed. I applaud him.

[@carlcampbell6827]
