Martin Murray Has A Case For Calling Himself The Undefeated Lineal Champ

Murray is a good fighter, but Golovkin will knock him out!!!

 

I don't know about the Sturm fight(didn't watch it live) but he certainly didn't "clearly win" the Sergio Martinez fight. The scores were close due to the knockdown in 8th but otherwise Sergio dominated most of that fight.

But I agree you can never count him out in any fight. He might give GGG some big troubles along the rounds. The problem is that he's not really a KO artist and GGG isn't the kind of fighter you can beat by PTS, not unlike FMJr or Ward. It'd take a super hard hitting KO artist to catch GGG with a surprise and knock him out to beat him. Otherwise you just can't win the punch trade with him.

 

Most had it for Sturm, others had it a draw... Murray didn't win that fight and was fortunate to get a draw in Sturm's backyard.

That said, he should have been the linear champion, cause he beat the shell of Maravilla before Cotto did.

 

murry did not win against sergio it was competitive and close so you cant claim robbery here mate. so lets just end the thread right there

 

the 'hometown favorite' Sturm has lost 3 decisions in Germany which means your first assertion is bs.

Murray didn't look very good overall against an obviously faded Martinez so that isn't much to brag about. he hasn't looked good in any of his fights since then either so yeah, it's a foregone conclusion Triple G is going to beat the **** out of him. Golovkin is in a different league than Martinez or Sturm on their best day anyway.

look at Murray's two fights against a faded Khomitskey and then look what a pre-Abel Sanchez trained Golovkin did to a prime Khomitskey.

 

agree with everything except saying golovkin is in a "different
league than Martinez....on (his) best day"

 

I thought Murray beat Sergio 114-113 with the one KD being the difference in the fight.

I really do highly question anyone who claims to be able to name 8 rounds that Sergio won in that fight. He definitely did not.

Either way, those two questionable decisions aside he really hasn't shown much, in my honest opinion.

Still a good enough fight for Golovkin given his activity levels.

 

You really should actually watch fights before you post about them. atsch

 

Normally I tend to agree with you. But not here. Can you watch/re watch the sturm v murray fight and come back here and name the 6 rounds you gave to Murray please?

 

I thought the Sturm fight was a draw but Murray did beat Martinez.

 

I scored Sturm murray 116-112, or 8 rounds to 4.
I absolutely cannot see any way Murray won more than 4 rounds.

Yet somehow the myth has taken hold that Murray was the "victim" of a "terrible robbery" against Sturm, whereas in fact, if anything, he was the beneficiary of an undeserved draw.

Whereas I cannot see any way Macklin won LESS than 7 rounds against Sturm.
