Lemeuix Eyes Mandatory Defense, Not Golovkin

[HamAndEgger]

So what's next for newly minted IBF middlweight champion, David Lemieux, after his rousing win over Hassan N'Dam in Montreal this past weekend? It looks like his IBF mandatory. Eric Gomez, Vice President and matchmaker for Golden Boy Promotions, explained to BoxingScene.com - "We got the letter already (from the IBF). He's going to have a mandatory. When you win a vacant title you have to do a mandatory next. So we'll see what happens there. He's going to take a break, he's going to go on vacation for a little bit and then we're going to sit down and talk with him and see what's next. It was a great victory and I think he deserves a little rest."

Coming into this past weekend, N'Dam was rated number one by the IBF and Lemieux was fourth. Number two is 'not rated' and Billy Joe Saunders - slated to face Andy Lee in September for the WBO belt - is fourth. At number five is veteran Sam Soliman, who previously held this title. As for a possible showdown with WBA, IBO and WBC interim champion Gennady Golovkin, Gomez stated "We've discussed it and I talked to Tom Loeffler( managing director of K2 Promotions) and I know he's interested. Look, (Lemiuex's) willing to fight anybody and it's just a matter of making the best move and figuring out what's next and figuring out the situation with the IBF."

Like I said the other day makes zero fukking sense for GBP to build up Lemeuix to feed him to GGG

Canelo vs Cotto for WBC in the fall
Lemeuix vs Mando for IBF in the fall


Canelo vs Lemeuix May PPV unification WBC/IBF

GGG won't get his shot til September 2016

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Looks like we'll just have to stay busy until then

 

[patscorpio]

Well there's always the winner of lee-saunders...let Lemieux get his Mando in...GGG will just get that WBO belt then

Except they'll be fighting each other and not him. By the time he gets a top fight he'll be 42.

How is the king of the middleweight division rocking sandals with jeans and he 42 years old

I don't get the Lemeiux Love

N'Dam, Rosado, Guerrero are his best Ws

With L's to Alcine N Rubio


Middleweight is so trash that resume gets Love

GGG can and will beat any of the current MW champs..all 3 of them are known for suspect chins and punch resistance...its sad a JMW is more of a challenge than them

 

[HamAndEgger]

IBF confirms they're all for GGG vs Lemeuix Unification WITHOUT a mandatory...

Now, Lemieux is gonna look like he's ducking GGG when he doesnt fight him next

 

[HamAndEgger]

Well think about this, is the IBF against GGG potentially holding their strap?
