    GGG out very aggressive landing vicious straight rights. Murata has some success to teh body. GGG fires back, rocks him with some head shots. Back and forth to the bell.

    Golovkin is staring these rounds sharp but has faded in the last two rounds. Let's see if he can hold the initiative here. Murata looks to hold then immediately corrects himself and punches. He needs to keep that up to win this. Golovkin gets hit a right hand to the body and then just doesn't do anything for 30 seconds. So Murata coasts into the lead. Murata warned I think for pulling on the head, Golovkin comes back with booming hooks to re-take the lead in the fifth - Murata comes back with the body attack, GGG is organised with his defence to bodyshots though and might be ok here...Murata catches on though and looks for uppectus and a winging right over the top. He has given up on the bodyshots for the moment. Fifth is so often so crucial and I think GGG has wound this back a bit but Murata, oh my goodness, bodyshot and uppercut with 15 seconds remaining - even round under any civilised scoring system, I give it to GGG for the right hand at the bell.

    Golovkin stops the rot.

    1: GGG
    2: GGG
    3: Murata
    4: Murata
    5: GGG

    3-2 Murata. Could also accept 3-2 GGG but damn he needs to get out after this fight. Commentators are right he’s looking for a greater after every exchange and reacting to punches in a way he never did a few years ago.

    Damn… I knew Murata had a good chin but didn’t expect him to take G’s punches even better than Canelo did.

    Murata is trying to put in the work to the body for the late rounds, but he was looking a bit ragged at the end. Is his chin going to hold up?

    Rd 1 - GGG
    Rd 2 - Murata
    Rd 3 - Murata
    Rd 4 - GGG
    Rd 5 - GGG

    Just as GGG seems to be warming into the fight and turning the screws, Murata saps some wind out of his sails via the body.
    Definitely a GGG round and hurt Murata in that round, but seemed to gas himself out after the mid-round flurry.
