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

    Spirit?? I said toughness, a strong body, that's it. He had not a single moment in 11 rounds where he troubled GGG. I expecte more from someone who gave Martinez hell.

    What war was that ?

    The second one where the Brits put a stop to the planned takeover of Poland ?

    Not sure what you saw in Murray's body language to lead you to think he was scared or intimidated going in. I saw the complete opposite everytime I caught one of his interviews.

    No, you expected Murray to quit as soon as the first punch really lands.

    Berlin is a multicultural city. Germany has around 5 Million people of Turkish heritage. There are 80 Million people in Germany. Germany was multicultural for centuries, so I don't see the problem.

    Thefrst real punch landed in round 11 and the ref stopped. I don't count body shots as I said because everyone can avoid getting down from body shots with training abs.

    I was almost right!! Round 4, Murray was down, twice. GGG went into KO mode but the round ended. So, just imagine it would be 30 seconds longer and we would have our knockout. No ones fault, it's not like Murray troubled GGGeven once in 11 rounds.

    Ah I see, you think Murray did not get hit hard in the face until round 11. OK.

    Just admit you were wrong, any guy that lasts with a big puncher like Golovkin until round 11 is not demotivated, not
    there just for the paycheck, and he sure did not quit after the first real punch. And despite Murray being totally outclassed
    he kept trying to fight back.

    Man up and eat your crow.

    You started this thread saying that Murray was scared ****less and would quit after the first punch landed clean which you predicted would happen in round 2 or 3.

    Murray took a hell of a lot of punishment and kept coming back, he kept trying to fight on, he kept landing clean shots and trading shots here and there, he never stopped trying to fight back - it didn't phase Golovkin but that's besides the point, Murray had the spirit and the heart to keep trying regardless.

    Rather than actually give him credit for this you have attempted, so far in this thread, to say that you were right all along because body shots dont counts and that Murray only lasted as long as he did because of some defensive technique from your country as if that alone would account for it, and now you have claimed you "expected more" from him due to his performance against Martinez despite the fact that you are the one who started this thread saying you expected him to quit within three rounds.

    Revising your claims now doesn't change how wrong you were.

    Again, is it so diffcult for you just to hold your hands up and admit you were wrong and give Murray the credit he's due?

    Ok, ok Murray is a tough guy, I was wrong, happens in boxing, right, otherwise we all would be millionaires through sports betting. Peace, Ingerland.

    I give Murray credit, he had a lot of heart and is pretty skilled.

    He was giving a competitive fight until GGG caught him to the body as he was trying to escape. But that just is a showcase of why trying to keep distance with Golovkin is not an easy or safe task.

    Murray had a good gameplan, but Golovkin adjusted pretty quick. Plan B for Murray was decidedly less effective than plan A.

    Good. I'm glad you admit it. My respect for you has risen a bit.

    :good

    Golovkin did destroy Murray, but I respect Murray for his heart. There
    was no quit in him.
