"macklin was beaten before he got in the ring."

Pretty sure Macklin will use that exact same phrase about Murray next time he's on one of these shows.

 

Macklin performed miles better against Sturm, deserved the wi there, and did well against a peak Sergio.

Plodder Murray on the other hand lost by a wide margin against Sturm and couldn't best a pale shadow of the Sergio Matt faced.

Murray should shut up.

 

A pale shadow? Behave!

 

Give it up will you. atsch

 

Tought Macklin was lucky he didn't get stopped

 

Sergio was ruined mate. You don't know much about boxing if you think other wise. Look at him before or during the Chavez fight and then after.

 

Sergio himself has said that the Macklin fight was one of his career best performances.

For Murray his knee was gone and he had a broken hand!!

( and still Murray couldn't push on for the win that was there on a plate for him)

 

Your on the wind up.

Beating gatekeeper Macklin is ranked alongside the dismantling of Pavlik, and knocking Williams stone cold in the rematch.

Maybe his career best is his one armed, one eyed, one legged win against Murray ?

Quote "take a baseball bat with me". Now Oliver has a secret plan to beat GGG. Martin is no different to Macklin,hell have a go but it won't get him anywhere,and it will be no surprise to anybody,including him.Although I think he'd have beat Matt if they fought,Macklin conducted himself like a gentleman on that show and Martin was trying to score points. Theres not much between them as fighters,for me they both did well against Sturm and Macklin fought a better Sergio,thus Murray did better.

 

Murray has been preparing for this fight for well over 12 months, GGG was always the plan - he could have gone down any route, but instead is going for the main man.

Murray and more importantly OH will have the correct tactics and IMO will win the fight by KO (ROUND 8)

 

Irrelevant seeing as Murray will be beaten once he steps inside the ring and feels GGG's power. The high shell defence Murray uses to come forward is going to be a disaster against golovkin, upper body and head movement is what causes golovkin a bit of trouble, which Murray doesn't really utilise. Standing static in front of GGG with your gloves up is like a blessing for him.

 

GGG being well overated on this forum, reminds me of all the george groves love

 

I have yet to see Murray hurt , so we will see , so far this will be GGG's biggest test.

Still dont see it going 10 rounds , he is just a bit special.
