HBO Sports serves up a double dose of world title boxing action with the presentation of the world middleweight unification title fight GENNADY GOLOVKIN VS. DAVID LEMIEUX and the flyweight showdown ROMAN GONZALEZ VS. BRIAN VILORIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24 on HBO. The HBO Sports team, which was ringside for the live coverage at New York’s Madison Square Garden, called all the action, available in HDTV. The hard-hitting bouts will be presented along with the previously announced “HBO World Championship Boxing®” event featuring the world junior welterweight title fight between Terence Crawford and Dierry Jean in Omaha, beginning at 9:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
These two fights took place Saturday, October 17, live on HBO Pay-Per-View® in what was viewed as a highly anticipated pay-per-view card with 160-pound attractions Golovkin and Lemieux headling the event and Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez seeking to re-affirm his standing as the consensus No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world versus a challenge from Brian Viloria.
