Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Murray Early Results From Monte Carlo

Nice ......

This was entertaining throughout.... Murray was prepared, motivated and fit...
That adds up to a longer beating than necessary. GGG systematically broke Murray down and after round 6 GGG disregard Murray's ability to hurt him. Despite some nice flurries by Murray, showing tremendous heart and solid conditioning, GGG was in seek and destroy mode. It was just a matter of time.
I tip my hat to Murray.

Well done GGG !!!!

Well, Middleweights of the world and fighters who could move up or down to Middleweight. GGG was taken into the 11th round for the first time ever. He was hit with some nice combinations in the later rounds by a good boxer. Do you like your chances any better now ???? Step up !!!

question was GGG taking punches late b/c he didnt respect murray?

or was he taking punches late from a mental lapse due to the fight going longer than normal?

i still have my questions, but i'm sure no one at mw beats him that division is ****ty..i really wish he was a 154 guy like he said he could be

To me it was clear that GGG wasn't forcing the issue. Moments when he did Murrey was being ragdolled around the ring.

To me it was clear Golovkin was his usual self, he is never reckless when pressing and was throwing alot of punches like he normally does. He didn't carry Murray or any nonsense like that.

nobody does but he really gave up his head in order to protect his body..i wouldnt be shocked if he had an injury in camp to the body in ever saw him do that and murray is not a huge puncher..it was a later round i think lampley said he was slipping..murray went on the attack

Yea I remember that, I'll rewatch it. I'm fairly certain he slipped as well but I could be wrong

****, I thought this was on later

[Dean_Razorback]

murray's heart is huge.

regarding to the issue stated above, about GGG's body, i think i saw him react a few times, but to low blows, and it wasn't that much.

GGG is a monster. respect to murray.

GGG looked a bit vulnerable defensively, but he has the chin to put up with it.
Cant see him doing much against Ward tho
