I say round 7 via a nasty body shot.murray loves to keep a high and tight guard.couldnt they have made this fight sooner????
This one is going longer than most think. Sanchez has been preaching that "pracitce" concept where he wants Golovkin to simply work on things for a few runds. Sanchez knows the details Golovkin needs live experience working with to win at the very top levels of the sport and he seemed almost dissapointed when Golovkin starches someone early without having the opportunity to work on the intriquicies of the sport under live conditions.
murray is the perfect guy to get some good work in against. basically a human punching bag that throws the occasional jab/straight right. hopefully this fight goes more than 1 or 2 rounds, and hopefully the ref doesn't stop it early and ruin the viewers fun.
My first thoughts were 7 or 8. I wonder if Murray fights Golovkin the same way Barker fought Martinez, would he go the distance :think Murray has a better chin and has some decent experience, plus Golovkin is not as explosive as Martinez was.(not stating that Martinez was the bigger puncher). Jab and move could work wonders for Murray. His defence is tight and i think it will be a competitive affair until Murray crumbles under the pressure. I actually predicted a similar outcome for Macklin (different gameplan and i was rooting for Mat so i picked him). Move, box and eventually crumble. :yep Golovkin beat the snot out of him :|
