Though there is one thing that Ryota Murata has on him that Charlo has on many men before and wont have for the first time: Size.

Murata will be either equal or naturally bigger than Charlo and packs a decent punch.

These 160 fools should be lining up to fight Charlo. The longer they wait the more this guy acclimates to this new weight. Pretty soon he gonna be dropping people with jabs like he was at 154, and then it will be too late to take him out then.

But Jacobs and GGG won't even say his name and Jacobs ran to the HBO and Eddie Hearn protection services as soon as Jermall moved up to 160.

Charlo is a bit overrated now imo, at 160. Heiland bout wasn't something to assess. Jermall and Andrade were like the biggest 154 fighters, but now they have to test their chins at 160. I say about 10% less increase of speed from Jermall now at 160, which would be as fast as N'Dam. I think Jacobs, being the more seasoned is faster than Charlo as well. Nelo at 160, so far and unfortunately, looks to be slowest ever - and will have to restrategize better ways to win, though not bad since he started at Light Welter...

Murata is a big ass dude and is really really good with the high guard. Charlo likes to pop alot on top, so one significant strategy that the Japanese crew could do, as they did before, is coming forward all day the first half and wear Jermall out. It's a higher weight, let's see his conditioning at 160 against the Olympian. I say it goes 12...but not certain of the outcome.

Again, Murata is a big ass dude and he's hella game.

It was Charlo's trainer himself that ruled out the possibility of Jacobs and to not push Charlo too fast to the lions den.

[boliodogs]

I think Jermall is too fast and sharp for him.

Which is interesting to the fact if Charlo fights Murata or Jacobs it would be the first time in his life he would be out sized and out gunned in terms of power.

Yeah, but Charlotte is getting stronger & stronger.
Murata has decent power, so far a good chin, let's see how far he can go.
War Murata San.

[GhostofDempsey]

I give the edge to Charlo. He wins by keeping Murata on the outside with superior footwork. On the inside he has a good uppercut.
