Murray has no spirit, he will quit as soon as the first punch really lands

    At first I thought it could be 10rd fight but every day closer to saturday I have find it more difficult to believe it. It can be a 7 round fight at best. I hope it takes longer just for GGG sake - It must hurt him to fight only 3 rounders.

    Murray is so hesitant for the first part of the fight. He can“t do that against Golovkin. GGG will punish him to the body and will push him to the ropes (Last seconds of Rubio fight all over again).

    Lets see how it goes.

    Honestly I dont think you can really ever take anything away from weigh ins or stare downs.

    I expect Murray to fight, he has known as has the whole world that he would be most likely fighting GGG for a year. Thats why GGSA signed him in the first place - to have a big enough name to get GGG back in Monaco in 2015. They invested in training, S&C, and tuneups so Murray would have a legit chance outside the ring to bring a real fight inside the ring.

    This could easily be Murray last chance at the top of the division, and he knows it. Murray is still a fresh fighter, he is motivated, and I really do not expect him to fold the first time he takes a painful shot.

    Murray is a big strong guy and based on the fact that he went into 2 hostile territories in Germany and Argentina and put forth the type of effort that saw him almost win both fights, he deserves respect.

    That said, I would be surprised if we see the 10th round.

    Judging by the nonsense being posted lately, ESB is obviously infested with teenagers who spend most of their time in their parents basement tugging themselves senseless over videos of Golovkin.

    Murray has no heart it took him six rounds to come to the realization that Martinez couldn't sit down on his punches and hurt him anymore and only then did he get slightly brave and then when Sergio started hurting him late he shelled back up a little.

    He will fold the moment he tastes GGG's Power:deal

    I think Murray will show up to win but that won't be enough. He's past his best and he put on his career best performance against Martinez.

    I'm just going with observations and perhaps someone else can fill in the holes in my argument. I guess what I'm wondering is, how does Murray usually talk about his opponents before fights? (I don't really follow him) Reason being, I've read a few articles in which they claim Murray is acknowledging GGG's skill and power. I just can't picture a guy like Murray praising opponents before the match. I think that is a bit of a tell in which he doesn't want to get GGG too mad at him. Personal belief: I think Murray's collecting a paycheck. I hope I'm proved wrong and we see at least 6 rounds.

    The OP is probably just an El Chicano alt. Don't be fooled.

    Rubio didn't show up to win.
