    118-110, 119-109 x2 for Brant are all freaking ridiculous cards, it should be noted. I felt Murata deserved to win about 4 of the rounds that were contested.

    Scorecards matter irregardless of the result. Been over this before though I'm not going in circles with you now though. Way too tired for that.

    'Cause it doesn't reflect the nature of the fight, and can give some people cause to scream about biased judging.

    Plus Brant is articulate. Great ambassador for the sport.

    Murata should retire. If you can't beat Brant, you're not winning a world title.

    Murata won 2 clear rounds. I gave him 4-5 rounds cause I'm a fan and I give rounds to the guy I'm rooting for. 10-2 is possible.

    There’s a reason Murata was being mentioned as a future opponent for GGG and Canelo and it wasn’t because of his skills.. He was going to an easy scalp for a pretty big purse..

    Yeah, I like Bravo and I'm really glad he came to play this time around after freezing against Braehmer in the WBSS.

    There's a case for Brant winning 10-2. Murata didn't win 4-5 rounds clearly.

    There is such a thing as just having a bad night, even in boxing.

    I mean, at a stretch, yeah...But it's a loooong stretch to award Brant that many rounds, imo.

    Murata only has a right hand and a left hook to the body. He's too one dimensional. I thought he had more in his arsenal since he is a gold medalist. This wasn't a bad night. This was him, but also a very bad style match up. But that bad style match up is a bunch 160 pounders style but they do it better.

    Brant's a good fighter, word on the street is he beats the **** out of Jermallo, Jermello, and Spence in sparring, hence why he was given his marching orders and had to relocate to another gym and trainer.

    And he's only lost to Jurgen B who is as slick as an eel on a water chute. I predicted that Jurgan B school the **** out of CEJ if their paths crossed in the WBSS and I also had him beating Groves and Callum Smith too and you best believe I would've been proven right about that had they locked horns with him. 100% guaranteed fact.

    Brant fought a great fight but he gets crushed by most of the top MWs. Murata is one-dimensional and it showed badly tonight.
