Gennadiy Gennadyevich Golovkin vs. Ryōta Murata & Shuichiro Yoshino vs. Masayuki Ito RBR.

Golovkin probably going to get knocked out due to fatigue.

 

After the GGG flurry when Murata dropped his hand his face looked exhausted and confused for a few seconds. He bounced back shortly afterward however. He looked as if he was responding out of instinct.
Murata returned fire with excellent body shots.
GGG won that round however.

 

Murat'a is wobbling, is about to be stopped anytime now.

 

Seen what I need to see which is that Canelo will knock Lil G out. The ease with which Murata is finding him is shocking. I now know why they did not want to make matches with likes of Charlo, Andrade and Eubank Jr. smart move because these guys more skilful than Murata who is quite crude. Entertaining fight but Lil G has seen better days.

 

49-46 ggg

 

Murata also needs to watch his body shots. Straying low a bit.

 

Murata being brave in there but I think he goes in the next 3 rounds

 

Heavy shots GGG

 

Murata slowing down and GGG beginning to land

 

Murata won't see round 9.

 

I thought the opposite

 

Tough old fight this, not much in it and both guys earning there money here.

I’ve got ggg up by a few rounds but it’s been close

 

Murata is slowing down and bruise

 

Murata seems on his way of getting stopped, but GGG is really showing his age in there.

 

...and therein lies the story as to why Canelo waited this long for the third fight.
