Comments Thread For: Ryota Murata Confident, Believes Golovkin is "Past His Prime"

[Afi23]

For my money Murata is a LIVE dog. And of course if he pulls the upset he will not get much credit but will still be a good feather in his cap.

Murata hovering around as a 4-1 underdog is tempting. I don't think he wins but he'll land his fair share of right hands on GGG.

Show me where people said that in 2017.

Was all over these boards leading up to the first fight in 2017. People here were very confident GGG would not just beat Canelo but KO him.
A lot of those comments came up when talking about Canelo’s stamina issues. Even though GGG was older it wouldn’t be an issue with the comments I referenced.
One reason why GGG was a big favorite on fight night.

Nobody said he was entering his prime in 2017. Many were already saying he was starting to show signs of slippage as early as 2016, even though he was still the favorite against Canelo.

He can't. He's a delusional carnelo fangirl

I’ll be surprised if this crappy fight last longer than seven rounds. And also can’t wait to hear how GGG is back in top form after he knocks out that Japanese fishermen

GGG fans on NSB in 2017: “GGG is like Bhop! He takes care of himself and hasn’t taken much damage. He’s just entering his prime and will fight well past 40!”

GGG fans in 2022: “The man is 40! Leave him alone. He’ll come down to the ring in Japan in a wheelchair to save his legs!”

Drama Queen, lets not pretend a fighter doesn't age in 6 years.

Neither fighter was a big favorite in the first fight. Prior to the fight: "The odds are relatively close. Golovkin is a -140 favorite at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, meaning you'd need to wager $140 to win $100. Canelo is a +120 underdog, meaning you'd win $120 from a $100 bet."

Wow..Murata is telling us something we didn’t know. Folks are also acting like this fight wasn’t mentioned years ago but never came together. Seems like old need but anyone who doesn’t think Murata has a chance is delusional.

Eubank Jr. wants to fight him so he must be.
