read earlier on the side that Ryota Murata (2012 MW Olympic gold medal winner) has decided to turn pro. How do you guys think this will turn out?
He has a pro style for sure and seems to be very very strong and hits hard with either hand. I think he could be a huge star in asia if prepared and marketed properly. only slight concern is that he has hardly outside game and I feel if put in with a boxer of fleet foot (Martinez) he could be out boxed to a UD.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Murata turning pro if possible.
This guy is gonna be good, He is going to add japan to the rich history of great middleweight fighters. Great decision to go pro, He should sign with Dibella or K2. Golden Boy and Top Rank just don't know how to handle their fighters. Don't be surprised if Don King tries to sign this Olympian to keep his career going.
