    He's 29 years old. Not sure he'll ever be a world class pro

    He'll be fine, most amateurs are turning pro later and later, look at Pulev he got a title shot at 34 so Murata still has five years on him.

    That been confirmed? Honda seemed to suggest that a specific show hadn't been agreed on Thursday morning.

    There's plenty to like about Murata.
    Some good talent coming through in the Middles.
    13th ranked US based Ukranian Levgen Khytrov 14.0.0 defeated
    Murata 24-22 at the 2011 Worlds to win the Gold medal.

    Friday 21/7/16
    Khytrov won by TKO 9 over Paul Mendez 19-3-2.
    First stoppage loss by Mendez.

    Golovkin reportedly not losing any sleep just yet.

    Canal+ in France has a 2-hour (and ten minute) programming slot blocked out for it (meaning they could very well intend to also show one additional bout from the scheduled world champion triple-header, but not all three) starting at 13:05 in the afternoon Parisian time, which is 7:05am EST. I'll be doing a RBR. :thumbsup:

    Watching it with (more fun) Japanese commentary might prove difficult.
