    I want to see how he deals with his high guard.
    He just dealt with a high guard in Stevens. Only difference is that Murray will be coming forward, which i think will be worse for him then going backwards was for stevens.

    Murray is not that hard of a puncher or quick and holds him hands up real high. GOlovkin will destroy his body

      I just feel like Murray's will be better than Stevens because Golovkin was getting past it too easily.
      But that's what I'm thinking.... he'll try to back him with the jab then go to the body. I was screaming for him to go to the body when he had Stevens against the ropes, but looked like he was more content going for the head... guess he really was cautious of the left hook.

        I was watching his fight with Sturm yesterday, he covers the body pretty well too with his elbows. Also good, at throwing punches then jumping back a couple of steps out of range. Tough style to break down really, but Murray maybe lacks enough power of his own to get the job done himself.

          Is he better than Stevens, whom you picked via KO?

            Murray is a good fighter. IMO he should try to get a belt first to make it more interesting.... to ME I think he can definitely beat :

            Geale
            Barker
            Sturm
            Quillin
            Rubio


            People are underestimating martin he's a pretty solid well rounded fighter he has decent pop but yes he doesn't have big power.

              Probably going to rewatch his last two big fights (Sturm/Martinez) and see again.
              His guard seemed tight and definitely not going to be as easy to get through as Stevens

                He had his chance for Quillin, but Hatton decided against it.
                It'll be forever until he gets a shot at the IBF too

                  So how many people think IF Golovkin disposes of Murray rather easily, Golovkin won't just be pretty good, instead, Murray will be a no-name, overhyped, stiff and robotic eurobum who would never be competitive in any era?

                    Yes but he gets him, and Sturm is very selective with punches. Golovkin throws non-stop and hits the body so hard and has a very big array of punches unlike Sergio, who did the same thing over and over; jab, str8 right and the occasional upper cut.

                    But it will be very interesting to see how this fight goes. If Murray is tough enough to take his punches and not back up Golovkin will have a hard time

                      If he KO's Murray and Sergio, people will still call him a bum
