They moved the date back but still want to hold another card there.
    arum also told moborov he'd get golovkin if he beat brewer

      This would be a sort of unofficial unification fight then, as Murray is arguably the lineal middleweight champ. Great fight if it happens. GGG takes him down with body shots ... Murray's guard is very high, doesn't hit hard enough to discourage GGG and doesn't move well enough to get away.

        Murray's getting starched.
        I'll be honest, I don't understand how he's so much better than Macklin in some people's eyes. Murray's recent middleweight run is much the same as Macklin's. Both had close, tough fights they arguably won against Sturm, and both gave Sergio tough fights. Murray did better, but he also fought an injured, older Martinez.

        How exactly is that so much better than Macklin? All these fighters- Murray, Macklin, Barker, Geale- they're all the same class of fighter and I think Golovkin is a class above that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I need to see it.

          GGG will wear Murray down to the body and stop him late.


          No problem with the fight being made though. Murray held a good account of himself against Martinez.

              Brilliant fight. Murray will be by far the toughest opponent to date, very good defense and very good technically.

                I think it is 100,000,000,000 which means whatever it is.
                Bump. I did accept a challenge of a bet and would like to know if you missed it or decline. Thanks

                  good step up, and if GGG performs better against a common opponent in Murray, I'll feel comfortable with leap-frogging him above Sergio.

                    I think he should "leap frog" himself over Sergio by knocking him out! Ray.
