Gennady Golovkin vs. Martin Murray: who will win?

Anybody who picks Murray to win and dosen't pick GGG to win by brutal Ko needs to visit a doctor for mental health reasons.

A better question would be: who is excited about Golovkin vs. Murray?

It's always exciting to watch a Golovkin fight. Let me guess, you want to see Ward hug him for 12 rounds?

Anyway, I see it going rounds because Murray looked huge at the weight tonight. I'd be surprised if it's another 2-3 rounder, but we'll see.

Fight will not go 4 rounds

We know what Golovkin brings to every fight, so let's look at Murray. His biggest asset is his size, he's probably the biggest fighter Golovkin's fought. In terms of quality he looks average to decent; his defence is tight if static and he has little in the way of power, and his footwork's not too great. In terms of style he looks similar to Kessler, a straight-line fighter who sticks to the basics. But Murray recently IMO has only looked comfortable while punching somehow; he looks flustered and too keen to evade whenever his opponent looks like attacking, and his energy levels never seem high.

Tailor-made for Golovkin as long as he can get past the jab, which is Murray's only chance. GGG to set a fast pace, cut off the ring, use head movement and end Murray in 3-5 rounds with hooks.

Murray is big and strong. I can see him turtling up and just take a beating for 9 rounds or so. Like the Stevens fight minus punchers chance

3G was cautious against Stevens due to his power, but he showed Geale and Rubio little respect. Murray isn't lasting 9 rounds if he doesn't earn GGG's respect.

more like, how many rounds will it go? For my money I say 6. He's more durable than most of GGG's latest victims.

Martin Murray gets Good Boy'd in round 1.

My prediction is GGG will KO Murray he same way Debo KO'd Red in Friday.

It's really unfortunate that the MW division is not stacked with talent like the WW division, then add the politics of boxing to the mix and we may never get to see GGG in with a true challenge at MW.
