Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Murray is The Toughest Foe To Date

[Motofan]

Its not a bad fight, but it won't prove much besides that the God of War is able to easily dispatch of b level guys. Murray went to war with the same husk of Sergio that Cotto ******ed with ease. He gets battered here. My only hope is that he can give GGG some rounds until he can get his hands on an A level fighter.

Murray is not worst than Geale. He is better than all three Rubio, Macklin, Geale. Murray will last a little longer Stevens. Stevens used some form of good defense in spots, it helped him last 8 rounds. He fought back a little bit but it wasn't enough. Murray is more durable and has better defense. He also throws more accurately than those 3. He will surely last more than those 3 mentioned above. It would not surprise me at all if Murray goes the distance. At worst he gets stopped in the late rounds like 9-12.

When has he ever proven to be better than Geale? What has Martin Murray EVER done?

Geale has actually done something at middleweight, including something Murray failed to do, beat Felix Sturm.

This is probably true, but that isn't saying much

Not sure he is better than Geale but he is more durable and should last longer.
I don't buy he fights up and down to his competitions level I feel more he is ordinary and caught two guys at the right time which flattered him.

He is mediocre all round just big with a tight defense & appears to take a shot well. The only question is when will GGG stop him?

[MDPopescu]

He is bigger than those two, closest thing to a SMW-sized fighter at 160.



He didn't lose to Sturm, it was scored a draw. He didn't really lose to Martinez either truth be told. I don't think he beats Golovkin but I'd favor him over the rest of the division.

1) He's 183 cm in height -- as tall as Ward or Hopkins.

2) If Murray fights the way he just did with little Spada, Golovkin will dispatch him in few rounds -- very few...

The Sergio fight fooled a lot of people. Martin Murray has fought several times since then and he has looked completely ordinary in all those fights. He's about as good as Cleverly or Bellew, and maybe not even that good.

GGG does need to face him in order to wipe out all the top middleweights so I have no problem with the matchup. But let's not make Murray out to be something more than what he really is.

Anyone ever read the manga One Punch Man? That's GGG and the MW division.
