GGG vs MURATA in Saitama
Murata has some sugar in that straight right hand. What do you guys think about this potential matchup?
Re: Murata's right hand vs. GGG's left hook
potential is there with the straight right but not ready for GGG short term

I just want to see GGG take it since he likes to let his opponents hit him in the face. Just curious as to what his reaction would be.

Gennadiy Golovkin and Ryota Murata agree to December 28th unification in Japan
https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/9/22/2 ... -news-2021
Gennadiy Golovkin’s long-brewing unification match with Ryota Murata is right at the finish line. Mike Coppinger reports that the pair have agreed to meet on December 28th in Kobe, Japan “and are simply waiting for DAZN to sign off on the bout.”
Per Coppinger, Golovkin’s (41-1-1, 36 KO) long stretch of inactivity came about due to “a battle with the platform connected to its expectation that [Canelo] Alvarez and Golovkin would fight a third time.” “GGG” has fought just twice in the last 24 months, narrowly edging out Sergiy Derevyanchenko for the IBF middleweight title and subsequently defending it with a December 2020 rout of Kamil Szeremeta.
WBA champion Murata (16-2, 13 KO) is coming up on two years out of the ring himself. His 2019 campaign saw him decisively avenge a loss to Rob Brant with a two-round mauling and beat down Canada’s Steven Butler soon after.
Both men were supposed to take summer tune-up bouts ahead of this matchup, but those never materialized, possibly due to the aforementioned issues with DAZN.
It’s not a blockbuster, but I’d say it’s the right fight for these two at this stage of their careers. Plus, both are heavy-handed aggressors with long histories of violent finishes, so it figures to be easy on the eyes.

The fighters he's beaten aren't even household names in their own household.

Re: GGG vs. Murata Postponed
Funny that. First Japan bans travel because of Covid, then the fight is cancelled and then the ban is lifted. It's obviously a conspiracy.

This is just what happened and I thought it was a funny. Lighten up FrancisTheSickness316 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 12:35 pmI really hope you're not trying to make this into an anti covid thread
Did you read the link I posted in Rimmy's thread? Covid is serious stuff. The full extent of the damage it does isn't even fully realized yet.
Can we just leave it at that??

Re: GGG vs. Murata Postponed
If the fight was cancelled because of covid then covid becoming a part of the discussion would go hand in hand. Hijacking it is a completely different thing.

Re: GGG vs. Murata Postponed
The fight is in Japan, if the part about the fight being postponed due to a travel ban being enacted because of covid, then for some reason it was lifted I see some justification to question things.
