    I'm down... If Murata looks good in the likely event of his defeat, there's nothing wrong with running it back again. Certain people will complain, but like you said it's not as if there's better options(that are viable) at the moment.

    I suspect that Murata is more dangerous for GGG who will be almost 40 and with 1 year ring rust than ppl might assume.
    I had digged in Murata am history, he isn't world KO killer artist but if he was able to drop well trained lads with am gloves.
    There will be pro gloves and 12 rounds. Not vs fresh 18-30 y.o lad.
    GGG is very experienced but he is uncle now ( no offense here, power is last thing they can lost ) not 27-34 y.o GGG version.

    I think GGG will win while there are approx 30% chances for Murata to win via stoppage.
    GGG does have very good chin but even if he will not get damaged or hurt, if he will get dropped mulitple times in row, with this might be enough for stoppage.

    GGG 60% for me, I won’t be surprised if Murata does him in, though.

    Should be an electric atmosphere in Japan for this fight. I favor GGG to win in a good scrap.

    Murata hasn’t fought in almost 2 years and he does like to trade punches

    GGG stops him late

    Murata is a B level fighter. You need to be an A fighter to beat Golovkin or a B fighter fighting a near perfect fight.

    One of Golovkins best couple of opponents he has faced. We will see if he still has top boxing game left in him. Very good fight.

    Yeah, maybe he should be hypnotized and told GGG beat him in the last fight and this is a must win rematch.

    I read that they sparred before, so they both have an i dea of what thay are getting into. This will be huge for Murata and could be a career defining fight for him. It should be a barn burner with GGG stopping Murata late.

    Sadly for Murata, he doesn't hit quite hard enough even if he goes all out like he did in the Brant rematch to KO Golovkin, yet at the same time, barely has a backfoot game. So it'll end up looking like the first Brant match, with him just walking into jab after jab, one twos and every other awkward angled shot GGG throws at him until his chin finally cracks. And it's crackable, Ryota was rocked several times late in the in that one, I doubt his chin, especially after such a long time off to stand up to the barrage of shots that'll be lading on him.
