Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam vs. Ryōta Murata II & Daigo Higa vs. Thomas Masson RBR

Rightly or wrongly, losing by quitting has a way worse rap than being knocked out. It's easily the more humiliating outcome.

 

It was just odd the way he quit. Yes he was getting hit flush a lot, but I saw the same fight the first time besides rd1-2 which I gave to N'dam. Only difference being N'dam did look a more gassed and Murata did land more punches. I mean for all we know if he went 12 he would've won again.

 

I do agree with that.

But Andrade, fault of his own or not I don't care with this statement, needs to step it the **** up. I do believe in Andrade and it's not like he has fought nobody but I want him to step up and he really needs to.

Your idea of who fights who is way too logical and perfect to ever happen. But that is the ideal.

 

Lemieux fihgt scares me more. I think he thoroughly outclasses Saunders like he did N'dam, but Saunders is a level above. Lemieux has that one punch KO and Murata's chin is not tested yet.

 

Yeah. Because having a glass chin and a glass brain is so much more admirable.

Stuuuuupid. I think it's more humiliating to get knocked out stumbling to get up if at all than to know your limits and understand what's going on.

 

Andrade on his A game is hell for anyone in the division. I don't see anyone beating him easily. His power does seem a bit suspect at 160 but at the same time Fox was on the defensive. I'd love to see him vs Lemieux too.

 

Give me Jacobs vs. Andrade, I'd be happy.

 

I think Andrade needs time to get adjusted to 160 before Jacobs. I think Danny might be the worst match up for Andrade since he can match him in speed and is just way bigger than him. Andrade is far faster than GGG. He's probably faster than Canelo too but I do think he can give Canelo major issues with his movement. Same as Murata, Murata is slower than Andrade, he has a super tight guard but I don't see head movement. If you crack his guard what happens?

 

I'm not examining the pathos as to whether it ought to be that way, that's just the observation.

Walters took more heat than Roman did for their losses to Loma. Duran gets more for SRL 2 than Hearns

It is what it is.

 

Forget heat from outsiders. Once you quit you start doubting yourself and when you get in the same position you fold. Ortiz is a perfect example. Now it doesn't always happen, Duran obviously came back but I think it's safe to say that N'dam and Walters are done. If Dereyechenko gets his hands on N'dam I see N'dam quitting, if Walters fights a top 130 guy like Berchelt I see him getting stopped. Before Loma though, I'd say these were close fights.

 

Sink or swim time.

 

Nah I know, I wasn't saying it to you like that.

 

So what next for Murata?
Who should he fight next?

 

My alarm clock didn't go off but I'm so happy for him. Exorcising those demons in such an emphatic way.

 

The Boxing Gods were fair this time, screw the judges. Ryota "Marvin Hagler" Murata said "I'm going to let my fists be the judges."
