International Boxing Federation middleweight champion David Lemieux is confident that he could be the first man to put down the unbeaten International Boxing Organization and World Boxing Association king Gennady "Golovkin" in their showdown at the Madison Square Garden in New York on Oct. 17.

The Canadian warrior know that there's a chance he could walk away with all three championship belts in this unification match since he first looked into the Kazakh fighter's eyes during their press conference, Boxing Scene reported, citing the boxer's interview with Le Journal de Montreal.

"I saw some things that I love and I will use during the fight. When you meet an opponent's eyes, the eyes do not lie. I saw what I wanted to know. I noted weaknesses in him and I think I now have a small advantage psychologically," Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) told the Montreal outlet.

Although their bout "will be a lion against another lion," the 26-year-old boxer, who boasts an 86 percent KO rating per BoxRec, feels he has "all the tools necessary" to make "GGG" bow to him.

Still, Lemieux should still be wary and not just rely on whatever he saw in "GGG's" eyes. Mail Online noted that his "charming demeanor evaporates when the first bell rings" and the IBO and WBA champ transforms easily into a "destructive monster" ready to crush his foes with his "fists of steel."

If Lemieux is not careful, he might be surprised like the Anglo-Irish boxer Matthew Macklin, who reportedly claimed he "never been hit that hard" in his entire life.

ESPN notes that even Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez says that when the mild-mannered boxer steps "through the ropes," he changes into "this destroyer named 'GGG'."

Golovkin told ESPN that he can actually separate this "GGG" persona because he knows he is in boxing for the profession.

"This is a serious professional sport. I am not a killer or anything like that, just a professional sportsman. I love my boxing sport and I understand my situation in the ring -- my job is my life," the 33-year-old fighter said.

Still, even with those gracious and naturally courteous demeanor off the ring, "GGG" still fails to get some big fighters like Sergio Martinez and Miguel Cotto.

"I want these major fights but what can I do if they won't get in the ring with me," Golovkin said, as quoted by Mail Online.

Yet, for one knockout master, Lemieux, to say to another knockout artist, Golovkin, who posts a 91 percent KO rating per BoxRec, that he knows how he could beat him, is something really intriguing for the fans to see.
