Comments Thread For: Golovkin Eyes Martin Murray Defense on November 2nd

[PureBoxingCEO]

GGG is a real fighter. He is challenging a fighter that came close to dethrone their weight class lineal champion in his hometown. GGG has fighter guts and is eager to trade punches with the best out there, unlike the Haymon crew

Good fight

I'd buy this. Murray is solid. Would be interesting to see GGG carve thru that peek-a-boo. 5 rounds.

Id way rather see him fight the winner of Barker vs. Geale. Murray would be a decent fight, but there's no doubt tht Geale is #3 behind Martinez and Golovkin - esp considering he beat Sylvester for ibf title and Strum for wba super title. Murray wouldn't be bad, but y not wait a couple weeks and get winner of Geale v Barker.
Plus I thought he wanted to fight 5 times this yr. if he fights Nov 2, that would be his only fight the rest of the yr.
y not fight someone the caliber of a N'Jikam or Andy Lee to saty busy at end of Aug beginning of Sept., and fight winner of Geale v Barker in Dec

That's a great fight!

[Respect Power]

Sounds good . Murray deserves it after proving himself against Sergio

MM the guy who stood in a shell while SM had to make the whole fight? I just saw that garbage. It's called Macklin vs GGG.

Not surprised though. HBO hype machine in full blast. That way max can go on 710 ESPN everyday and tell us how great GGG and hype him up like the second coming.

if GGG KOs Murray, Martinez will be vacating 160 for 154

I'd prefer to see this too—if Geale beats Barker. This would probably be HBO's ideal plan, that's why they're televising this fight, to make a marketable opponent for either GGG or Sergio when he comes back.

Martin will fight a Klitschko if the money is right, GGG needs testing was horse steroids before the fight, the man hits too hard to be natural ability and power..

Oh boy...here we go again with the juicing accusations.
