Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) is set to make his first appearance on a pay-per-view main event, as the world's #1 middleweight meets Canada's David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) this Saturday night in New York City. It's quite possible that the winner of this match-up will take on the November 21st winner between Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez, but we'll save that for another day.
Golovkin is billed as the sport's pound-for-pound hardest puncher, and with 20 consecutive wins by stoppage, including a February win over the iron-chinned Martin Murray, it's difficult to dispute that claim. The Kazakhstan native is also highly charismatic in his post-fight interviews, frequently calling his opponents "good boy", speaking in Spanish to the delight of the Latin fanbase that he's built up, and calling out guys to take part in the "Big drama show.
