    Props to Brant but Murata only has a right hand and left hook to the body. He does not have an uppercut or left hook. He's too predictable. Even I would have gotten out of the way of those right hands.

    @CST80 @UnleashtheFURY Let's pretend that I never said Murata is better than Inoue after the N'dam fights :duh. I used to call Yamanaka overrated af but even he's better than Murata.

    All credit to Brant for a great performance but you say he crushes Charlo? No way. Charlo takes him out.

    He is very one dimensional no doubt. That said, he's crazy tough and he laughed at Brant's American Power. Brant was a bad style match up for him though and he fought like a man possessed tonight.

    Props. I honestly thought Murata would beat him down. This is one of the fights I've gotten the most wrong. But I've only seen one fight of Brant, highlights against the German.

    Yeah he regularly beats the **** out of both twins in sparring, or at least he used to before they kicked him out.

    And, ESPN+ is definitely not as high res as DAZN. Much better feed on DAZN. If ESPN+ wants to compete they have to up their game, invest more in the technology.

    I'd have to see a tape to believe this. Looks to me like Charlo takes him out. I don't know, maybe I am overrating Charlo at MW.

    Made me a fan of Brant. Looking forward to seeing what he can do going forward, and I'll still keep an eye on Murata to see how he comes back from this.

    **** ESPN+. DAZN has way more variety of fighters. ESPN+ is Loma and Crawford only.

    Charlo would knock him the **** out. Trust me. I've seen enough of Brant now. He's not good. Murata is just one dimensional af and they had the perfect gameplan to counter it. Charlo isn't one dimensional.

    I don't see Murata beating any of the top MWs.

    There's no coming back. Murata can't change. The blueprint is out. Movement and take away the right hand and he's nothing. I mean he did do well in the middle rounds and maybe if he continued he could have pulled it off. But he still gets hit too easily. His defense is just his guard. I thought his guard was excellent but clearly it has holes.
