Makes sense. If Murata is down for it its almost assuredly the most money Brant's gonna be offered. Maybe Brant can parlay a W in a rematch into a bigger fight.Comment

Murata seems to be too slow on his feet I'm thinking Brant wins another decision.Comment

Really? How odd.
Now don't get me wrong, I think Murata is a lot better fighter than it would appear from the first fight, but I also think he's a by the numbers, straight lines kinda guy who's always gonna struggle with that kind of style.
Unless he's been hard at work and made some real changes to both his strategy and his tactical game, Brant beats him again, possibly even more easily. Another loss to Brant and Ryota almost might as well hang 'em up. Puzzling move, but I suppose equally it's as well to give it a shot... might as well find out sooner rather than later.Comment

Well considering it was really considered an upset it's not that surprising. I would not be hugely surprised if Murata can pull it off but I think Brant is just better than him and I will pick him to win again.
Dogboe also took a beating and he is rematching the guy that put a beating on him. Nothing wrong with it imo. Remember not much guys gave Kovalev a chance in his rematch vs AlvarezComment

Arum is the rematch KING, he will make rematches nobody ask for just because

So I've seen both of these guys fight probably 5 times each, yet I missed their first fight and without seeing it for myself I still can't believe Brant beat Murata and handily at that. Sucks that this will probably be on at an ungodly hour though, so will probably miss it againComment

First fight was brutal for murata
And he was very tired towards the end
Perhaps he did the weight bad
But yea, logically speaking , brant wins rematchComment
