    Punctuation exists for a reason; it is part and parcel of written communication and exists to make such communication easier. You can use all the vocabulary you like but if you can't punctuate than you don't have a proper command of the English Language.

    And I, for one, can't be ****d to summon the extra effort required to make sense of your contribution.

    I've been watching boxing long enough not to be surprised by any result, including paragliders!

    But, this should be a GGG win, possibly by stoppage after 6.

    I'll be watching this fight with great interest. No doubt this is GGGs biggest challenge. Murray is strong, huge at the weight, tight defence, decent chin and competent if not spectacular all round fighter. So, I can see him giving GGG problems depending how good and how well he executes his fight plan and how GGG execute his own.

    Murray seems to raise his game for the big fights and if you can go to BsAs to fight the crowd favourite, you're not easily phased.

    GGG should be tested but ultimately late stoppage or points win for me for the Kazakh.

    You put "MOCK" in capital letters so my eyes were drawn to that bit. I'm not mocking you - I'm pointing out that not using any punctuation makes your efforts very difficult to read.

    Also, it's not relevant to talk about character limits. Punctuation uses more characters, not fewer, so outlets like Twitter & texts inevitably encourage poor grammar & sentence structure as people cram more message into the character limit. In other words, they encourage your style of writing and not mine.

    And I have actually read the Bible cover to cover. All 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 of the New. It was a 12 month study programme back in Sunday School. And I can tell you, honestly, all those genealogies in the Book of Numbers (4th book of the Old Testament) are REALLY tedious.

    - huh? I haven't even mentioned the man, let alone denigrated him. You got me mixed up with someone else there.

    Look, post however you like - I'm not your father or your English tutor. But if you want people to actually read it then you might wish to consider a more traditional approach to the humble comma and full stop.

    Take it for what it's worth - I'm done here.

    I'm going to go for a mad vote. That Murray plays to his strengths keeps his guard tight and use his jab to keep GGG at range and can handle GGG's power so he might get rocked but not stopped.

    I do think GGG is the real deal but rooting for the underdog here. So i'll say Murray on an SD

    Some fights need no deep ****yzing, no head or heart needed. And this is one of them GGG wins and easily.

    i have no doubt golovkin will win , he will just have too much power at the end of the day which will eventually catch up with murray in the latter rounds . however i do expect murray to put up a very strong performance and gain a lot of recognition after the fight . i hope he can go the distance but i just feel he may come up a little bit short . it should be a really good fight .

    I like Golovkin's take on the matter, "anyone at this level has the strength and skills to win the fight, it's a matter of who has the wit to outsmart the other. The first guy to make a mistake could be the one that loses."

    Murray said, "he has two hands just like me."

    Sums it all up nicely if you ask me, Golovkin has a perfectly setup car for the rally, but one mistake or a bad strategy puts Martin on the Podium.

    All you guys that think this is a sure bet should list all the fighters that have never struggled with an "easy challenge", and then compare that list to all the fighters that have.

    Everyone has wrote Murray off in this one and although I don't see him coming out victorious tomorrow night - I think he's going to surprise a lot of people and put in a real good effort.

    In my opinion he'll give GGG more of a fight than any of his other opponents so far have done, he won't be coming to bow down.

    We should all be getting behind him, it's great seeing a Brit wanting and attempting to take on the best - also doing so on terrestrial TV.

    You keep saying the same thing about Murray - that he will 'put up a fight' ...'put in an effort' etc etc.

    EVERYBODY 'puts in an effort', Furey.
    Macklin did, Geale did, Stevens did.....
    What I'd like to know is how Murray is going to win rounds here?
    He has never shown me that he has anything to get GGGs respect. What skills does he have? What tools does he have? What tactics can he use here?

    Apart from his bulk and negative 'survivors' style, what does he bring to the party?

    Basically he can shell up, clinch like an octopus, do a bit of fouling , all just to try and survive - but thats not 'winning'! Thats 'surviving'. He has the benefit of seeing what did not work for others, better all round boxers like Mackin and Geale, who went before him - and that may enable him to survive a bit longer than they did, but is that really all that impressive?
