    I think Charlo would wreck Murata too. Charlo has definitely set himself apart from Murata

    I was high on Brant and really thought he would beat Braehmer, he kinda froze that night, but he came good last night.

    I'd agree, however I doubt we get to see Charlo vs a top MW any time soon.

    Firstly, Charlo hardly fights at all, and secondly, things are about to get harder as most of the other top MWs have signed or will sign with DAZN to chase a Canelo payday. Charlo is not with DAZN, I doubt he's going to be given the chance to fight Jacobs, Andrade, Derevyancheko let alone Canelo himself. And I expect GGG to sign with DAZN and Saunders to chase a Canelo payday when he's back too.

    Still a big upset. He was a 6.6-1 favorite.

    Tremendous performance by Brant. He had the mentality of a man who wasn't gonna be denied. :chuck:

    I skimmed around some highlights (did find one upload of the full match but very low quality, strained my eyes) but enough to see this wasn't an HNN type situation. Murata got legit BEAT. By a guy that was schooled by old Sloth the Goonie. Craziness.

    I'm glad your boy won, but let's not pretend he didn't get schooled by old Braehmer and that everyone was unjust in making Murata the favorite here. It was definitely an upset.

    Fighters lose fights, that's the nature of the game. He went up to 168 and lost, so what? That don't take from the fact that he is a well disciplined fighter with excellent skills. A lot better skills than Murata who's only saving grace is his so called power and stamina. I am not a follower and I think outside the box. Murata was never a favorite in my book regardless of what them bums in Vegas thought. I make my own decisions based on my knowledge and experiences. You make the call you wanna make, that's your business but like I said, it was no upset in my book.

    Congratulations. I didn't bother to pick the fight since I didn't have a horse in it.

    Given how much you're gloating on this one, sounds like you could use all the congratulations on your correct picks you can get. Glad you nailed this one.

    I am not gloating, I am not that shallow. I simply talk boxing and call it the way I see it. I have been wrong on occasion and have no problem with it.

    Murata was always a bum that's why GGG looking into fighting him instead of Charlo

    THIS. I GIVE GGG credit as a fighter but the level of fighter he chooses to fight is suspicious.

    Do you really think he won't get a shot when he has Al Haymon behind him and he is no 1 contender by the WBC?
