I feel it's really a difficult fight for Murray to win. He is not going to out jab or box GGG. The only chance he has is to trade with GGG to get his respect and at the same time not get hurt himself. Murray can use his effective high guard to dampen some of the blows and make it the whole way, but this strategy I feel will reduce his offense too much to win enough rounds.
No, it's because that high guard is going to leave him susceptible to getting his ribs broken. It's a defense that matches up horribly against one of the best and hardest body punchers in the sport right now.
This is certainly GGG'S liveliest test he has ever fought. I expect Murray to pose some problems for GGG with his size, strength, and deceptive power. There's alot of hype, and questions GGG has to answer in this fight, will he? We'll just have to see about that.
Who is geale though? He lost to barker. Maklin is a tough guy but he is overated.. stevens who is a small mw touched GGG in there, so did ouma. Im not sold on GGG yet, and i think his fans are hyping him a little too early. He's got to crawl before he walks man. I predicted GGG would wreck both those guys and that's exactly what happened.. he didn't surprise me one bit in those fights.
you're severely overestimating murray, not to mention trotting out the tired hype cliché. i fancy another bodyshot stoppage.
Im not overestimating him at all. Im seeing this fight for what it is A TEST. It seems you're underestimatin him mate, i think he proved alot against Sergio who was perceived by most to easily beat this guy.
sergio was on the slide, and you didn't put a test, but his liveliest 1. murray's pretty good, but hasn't looked so sharp recently.
I think so, and also think that he will out perform stevens, ouma, and Geale in this fight which is why im touting this has his "livliest test". Murray's size is going to help him absorb alot of GGG's punches. I don't expect him to win, but if GGG is the real deal he'll pass this test with flying colors. But what if GGG struggles, what would be your assessment of him afterwards?
