Comments Thread For: Murata Batters Brant In Two, Reclaims Secondary 160-Pound Title

[BoloShot]

Between IBF's seeming commitment to picking up the other big 3's slack on mandatory enforcement and the extreme likelihood of Canelo/DLH telling IBF to kick rocks, GGG-Derev seems more likely by the minute. Charlo is a great fight and definitely a win Murata can pull off, but Andrade is dicey. I could definitely see that going the way of Sulecki. Then again, after all this time do we still even know what Andrade's chin is made of? If Murata catches him clean...

That's how I see it myself, point by point pretty much. Another one I'd like to add though is that I think it'd suit Andrade and Charlo well to unify and I have a feeling that'd force either Canelo or GGG's hand into fighting the winner of that. Now that's a fast track option I don't imagine they'd take as its much safer to defend the belts but we'll see I guess.

I'm running two miles today! Getting the road-work in before Khan and Prince Patel.

Thanks bro. Couldn't get the slow-motion replay, I got a call on my screen when ESPN played it.

Good stuff man I'm going at the workout daily myself cos I have to train against bigger lads all the time. Enjoy your run hope the khan card isn't as much of a joke as it looks. Might be some meme moments in this one.

I figured Murata knew and made the adjustments he needed to make, it was very risky for him to take an immediate rematch unless he had a plan. Round 2 sounds like it was good, will have to find it. Hope Brant got paid well enough to fly over to Japan to lose his title.

Round 1 was better

Cong**** to Murata for reclaiming the title, he slays GGG next.

I dunno if Murata is as good as Canelo as it is the caliber of fighter that it takes to beat GGG (and TBH after 24 rounds I have GGG and Canelo back to back 12-12 rounds).

That being said, styles make fights, and I'm interested to see how this fight plays next.

I hope GGG fights Murata, would be good for boxing as it would be a solid event, and I don't want another Rolls, fck those bum fights ffs.

If I am Canelo-I go to Japan and fight Murata. Huge money and a chance to expand your brand.

Murata is LEGIT.

You could see from his body language as he made the walk to the ring that he was focused. He had a point to prove and he was all business.

All that talk about how he should have taken a keep busy fight before this did not matter to him. He made it all seem irrelevant.

Brant is a quality fighter. He was ready. He was super confident and took the fight to Murata to remind him me of the last fight.

Murata brushed him aside and just DESTROYED him the way a legit champ should.

Murata is LEGIT and EXCITING.

It was one of those fights where even if you were rooting for Brant, you have to stand up and acknowledge and give Murata his props.

The Olympic pedigree showed.

Glad to have him back.

He was 2 legit 2 quit.......

Just woke up to see the results, bit surprised it was an early KO but I felt very confident Murata was going to win handily, think I was one of the few people to take Murata in the pick em

BTW, get ready for Murata/Horn, which will be a huge draw in that part of the world. Curious to see if it ends up in Japan or Australia though

I think that's a brilliant idea, but didn't DAZN say it had to be Kovalev or GGG, with Andrade as the "distant third option?" If we get Canelo vs. Andrade, I think Murata vs. GGG would be a good one, and hopefully on ESPN!

I think DAZN would be ok with Canelo/Murata in Japan.
