Comments Thread For: Murray: No Golovkin Deal, But We're on The Same Card

[boliodogs]

If either fighter backed out of this fight I am sure it was Murray. GGG wants this fight badly and his team has been trying to make this fight.

[Hougigo]

I think it might be the latter. As you say, the WBA have ordered the fight, Murray says he's fighting on Monte Carlo on the same night. It would be kind of ridiculous if they're not fighting each other.

I'm hoping they're just waiting for Murray to win his next fight.... but sucks if they're not fighting each other next

[Hougigo]

Martin Murray: "Just to let people know that I'm not fighting Golovkin on Feb 1st but we're fighting on the same bill. Looking forward to it when it happens"

Maybe a tune up first?

He's getting a tune up in 2 weeks

[junior gong]

Then they should let it be known they want their title shot in Monaco (if they do). GGG is looking for a fight. If he's too worried about getting robbed, maybe the WBU belt will vacate soon and he can fight a Brazilian at home.

I dont think he is worried about getting robbed, although you couldnt blame the guy. If he gets a good offer, then he'll fight. What has he done in his career up until now that would tell you otherwise?

[sicko]

watching him work as studio analysis for the GGG vs Matthew Macklin...neither Murray or Barker seemed all that interested in fighting GGG after watching him destroy Macklin to be honest

yes it is a duck and I think it is pathetic that the Top Guy at 160 is the one having to chase down the contenders when it should be the other way around

Stevens got his a$$ kicked but at least he has the balls to call out GGG and step in with him

[MisterHardtop]

Vera wasn't a possiblity for the last date, and I think Mora may have been considered but Stevens was favoured for commercial reasons (his KOs + a Brooklyn kid). Donno what's going on with NDNJ tho, - hasn't fought for over a year now since the Kid C loss.

I'm hoping for Mora, Vera, Truax, Lee level fight for GGG in Feb (though I gues there's also the possibility of a SMW) which is a little disappointing, but hopefully Murray in summer.

That's what I hope too. I've been annoyed by all this talk that guys at middleweight won't fight Golovkin when a fair few have said they will but guys like Stevens and Rosado were approached, both of whom were small and in Rosado's case not even a middleweight.

Golovkin has a lot of potential but I hope his career doesn't end with too many what-ifs. There are many top 15 middleweights who would love the pay-day, let's make those fights happen.

Why cant murray get a visa? Crim record?

Yes, sadly it's due to his criminal record. It can be worked out just as long as there is enough time.

What is murrays criminal past what exactly did he do? Just curious

[torosboxing75]

This is a fight I want to see but I thought Murry hard more KO's then that.

Got into a fight with a doorman like 7 years ago.

[Evil Abed]

This is such bull.

Murray and Hatton need to just make the damn fight.
