    I'd prefer Andrade or Charlo ... But this is better than Munguia. I'll take it.

    Nice. GGG being the fearless globetrotting road warrior extraordinaire he is has jumped at the chance to face the teak-tough Japanese Tokyo Terminator Murata in his backyard even though he's been way past his best for years.

    Murata is huge in his homeland and that will sell out the Tokyo Dome (55,000 capacity). Murata was doing 15 million views (peaked at 17) vs the likes of no mark Blandamura in 2018 so this one will be off the charts.,

    GGG slipped big time. Murata can win.

    Very good fight. Unification wba and ibf + great action fight. Still ggg will ko Murata before the tenth, but it will be a nice back and forth with some drama

    Good fight, think the styles should mesh pretty well.

    Think Murata is too easy to find and GGG still hits like a truck.

    GGG wins but not easily, will be competitive while it lasts. Murata is a warrior

    It will be a war for sure. Not the best available but a good opponent nonetheless. Guess he's slightly better than Andrade with his middleweight resume and almost as good as Charlo's.

    At least its not Kumil Szeremati, Vanes Martirosyan, Steven Roles, or some WW or LMW.

    I guess we can get excited about that.

    Wouldn't be surprised if 1. GGG loses 2. GGG brutalises him

    Either way.. I know this will be a fun ****ing fight unlike Canelos last four fights

    Smith-boring fight, with Smith staying on the outside, rarely pressing Canelo despite being the bigger guy. Most of the rounds neither guy doing a lot. A bit of a fishy fight too tbh
    Kov - boring and obviously fixed sparring session
    Jacobs- Jacobs decided to do nothing for 6 rounds. Then actually won rounds when he starting to actually do ****. Boring ****ing fight
    Fielding - lol

    And now Yildrim... ****ing hell how has this fraud fooled everyone.

    Murata is one of my favorites, but I always thought he would get destroyed vs GGG (or by a lot of the rest of the division). At this point, with GGG so diminished, it's a good fight.

    Very interesting fight and I don’t doubt that it will be competitive! Hopefully is doesn’t fall through and interesting to see that GGG will fight in Japan for this one :)

    I immediately knew this was gonna happen as soon as Murata was elevated. Would have rather Charlo or Andrade but whatever.
