    I think Murray would do well to see the second half of the fight, in fact I'd be amazed if he did.
    Golovkin is a very special fighter

    Martin is strong and tough but GGG looks very special. Closes the ring down well and has great punch selection/variety and accuracy. He isn't the fastest but he is freak strong and has big power. He hasn't really fought anybody that special yet. Would like to see how he copes with the smarts of Ward who is physically strong and tough himself, as well as having the traits of a negating dirty ****er like BHop. Ward is GGG's hardest fight out there. Froch isn't good enough but could maybe make the distance. Martin Murray would crumble inside 6.

    Murray is good, solid all round boxer, tough and a big middleweight too. does he beat GGG? no, can he last past round 6? yeh he can with the right stragety.

    Well said ,There was some booing from the crowd last night so hopefully Murray gets a shot before the paymasters of boxing wave millions of dollars at GGG to move up or down weights where the challenges are greater and the PPV is massive .It would be interesting to see where Golovkin goes my guess would be down in weight if he can do it

    I think he would last longer than most but I don't see any way that Murray can beat Golovkin.

    There was booing at the end of the GGG fight but I suspect that was mainly directed at Rubio. It was a bizarre stoppage in as much as he clearly got up too late, but didn't seem finished.

    Was worse than Malik Scott's effort to beat the count vs Chisora in my opinion.

    I never noticed it.

    Rubio did seem like he could have gotten up, but there was enough time left for GGG to get rid of him.

    It could well be GGG's toughest fight at middleweight. Still an easy win though

    It would be a tough fight but far from easy

    Going on Martins last few outings since the Martinez defeat based on that he wouldnt last 3/4 rounds with GGG

    see Steve motivation is a massive thing for a top fighter going from Martinez with thousands there to Monte Carlo with very few there must be very disheartening.
    Murray is well worthy of a shot at GGG

    Worthy but i think hed avoid him like the plague tbh mate , Martins signed a big money deal wich will see him financially ok but in terms of where and who he is fighting infront of stinks , he will become the forgotten man imo
