martin murray vs GGG

On recent form Murray will do well to see the second half but you never know with Murray, he does seem to have the ability to raise his game significantly on occasion. Surely only one winner but I wouldn't like to punt on how long it lasts.

Surprised to see Golovkin the slightly bigger man at the weigh in, 'dont think he would have any problems moving to SMW.

I've played GGG points at 15-2 the reason for is I dont think Murray will come out of his shell will wait till the KO hits evs and have a free one. Dont think GGG will be in a rush Saturday and I think Murray will be happy to lose on points

Exactly my thoughts sj. I got 7/1 GGG points and my breakdown is exactly as yours. Murray is tough with a good defence and i can see him happily losing on points here despite what he says. Golovkin will be patient enough and Murray did have good performances against Sturm and Martinez. The MOV prices for this fight are way off if you ask me and give MM no respect at all.

Que another GGG demolision job!

I think its the right play Jimbo, Snachez said after the 1st round last time "We've got all night to try stuff take your time" He took a while to get Adamu out last year in Monaco think we're right to play. Gonna DM you mate

Yeah i remember that mate, against Rubio wasn't it. 7/1 is just too big considering MM is durable, might try and cover like you but depends as i'll be out. Ive replied to your PM mate, shame we missed the Warrington Ko price.

problem is murray likes to shell up, many fighters struggle to break through that and or don't go to body well. If he shells up can see another macklin ko

Curtis Stevens shelled up and is a pretty durable guy but in the end it didn't matter.  But odds wise its got to be a small gamble on the distance, GGG hype at its peak.

never seen a fighter with Murray's (quite respectable) credentials so big a price for a fight

i have to back him @16

What time is the fight due to start about.

about 9.25 i guess

Cheers. Is it on boxnation. Going to clash with smith fight.

sorry,wrong fight,ch 5 starts at 10

Ok thats grand be able to see both hopefully.

GGG fight won't be on to about 11 I don't think

can understand ppl backing the distance bet just think murrays shelling up is made for ggg

GGG is never in a rush mate Stevens and Adamu told us that. But there is every chance GGG ices him

Murray to stun the world with a crippling body shot that sends ggg to the canvas

anyone with a link to the GGG card???

this link is showing basketball

thanks thanks

willing to risk a Monkey on this going the distance

Surprised Murray didn't look to take an easier route to another title shot. Probably financial I guess.

Can't see it going past 6

This is the b ollox don't get this over here

Why so many fight in Monaco of late?. Greedy tax reasons i suppose

GGG ko 1/4 nice price

Good start by Murray

how big a shock would this be if Murray KO'd GGG?

GGG starting to hurt Murray here

Murray with the classic 'is that all you've got?!" after he was hurt

lol and nearly KO'd at the end of the round.

Monster

Murray down

We are so privileged to be seeing this freak of nature

ref didn't wanna stop it in that round did he?!

said he'd be down to the body

I've been on the train since the start and aint ever getting off lol

he'll be finished this round, no doubt.

Golovkin so smooth

needs 2 hang tough here

Murray face

Best since Drago imo

What an effort from Murray

Move up next for ggg surely.  More tests at super-middle.

Fantastic effort from Murray. Whatever happens he can be proud of himself.

Huge heart

tony bellew take note

Got a free one on points now

Be interesting to see if murray decides to open up and have a go last 2 rounds.  Think he'll be happy to just survive - great effort regardless.

Could watch GGG all day.

Murray so brave. Fight could make his career. No one for him to fear at middleweight.

Golovkin is a machine. Mayweather wouldn't last the distance at 154 against this freak.

golovkin is the new coming but bloody hell murray showed some heart there

golovkin is everything that i love in boxing. no BS just come forward relentless pressure and power punching. He didn't take one second of that whole fight

Quality as ever from GGG.  There's holes there to be exploited though particularly as he moves up.

problem is those holes at this weight i cant ever see being a problem but as u say may be when he moves up i just think its so sad that he has to move up to get a fight

anyone heard the rumours kvalev got pulled from sparring with him as he was getting beaten down?

Mayweather, Alvarez, Cotto won't go near him at any weight even though I'm sure he'd meet them at a catchweight.

Cotto has to relinquish now surely. He's not a middleweight.

cotto ould be out within 3 for me

Always take sparring rumours with a pinch of salt myself.  Him vs Kovalev down the line would be a war though.  By all accounts GGG holds his own even sparring against light heavies - but again it's a different matter in the ring/proper fight.

Needs to start adding some names to his CV now though.  Despite his record (and through no fault of his own tbf), he's lacking them atm.

can only fight whats there just such a shame no one at this weight there to fight. preying alvarez moves up

Not disputing that mate but legacy/reputation can only increase by getting these names on his cv.  Can't see the Cotto's etc troubling him but they will enhance his profile/cv no doubt.  At the moment there are no real marquee names on his victims list.

Sick of him being criticized for who he's fought. It's a piisspoor excuse when no one will fight him.

totally agree

Him and Kovalev would never happen weights too far apart

yeah it 's the truth Kovalev got pulled from the sparring cos he was just covering  up

thats what i heard

heard meaning read lol

ward would outbox him imo.  But would be silly fight for ggg to take.  Easier fights against higher profile names out there.

I'd like to see him step up and take out Froch.

him vs froch would be one id like to see and GGG is big enough now for vegas

Would make my dreams come true to seE GGG TAKE OUT THE cOBRA

Froch would never fight him though just looking 4 a big pay day that he can win

That performance will have a few of the smw's considering it though you'd think.  Looked there to be hit at times - a lot of that though was probably down to lack of respect for what Murray was throwing.

If he was to step up to 168 to get big names his time there could be over after 2 or 3 fights if he gets the wins. Where does he go then light heavy?

I would like to see him face either or all of Cotto, Alvarez or even Mayweather first. Doubt very much it will happen though. Pity.

may weather will be retired before he's touted as a legit opponent.  Ward's team called him out but ggg's team didn't want that fight yet.  As you say I'd be trying to make the name fights vs your cotto, cannel's etc.  Even a Lara would do although again that is a high risk/low(ish) reward fight.  If none of them can get made then it looks ever likely that super middle is where it's at for him.  Riskier there though - would prefer him to fight those below him initially before going up.

Golovkin isn't going to get the big fights at 154 - 160, because he's too damn good. He's a small middleweight though and won't be at his best if he moves up to 168.

brave from Murray, the lad took a beating.

Golovkin - Froch is a dream fight. Golovkin is pretty open be interesting to see if Froch can hurt him. I think Froch is probably a little too over the hill tbh but it would be a great spectacle and I'd never rule him out against someone hittable.

GGG far more chance of getting the big fights than Ward has you'd think.  His style will always sell fights/make him a decent draw = $$$.  As always with boxing though it's down to the promoters and internal politics.

Yeah you defo couldn't rule Froch out in that type of fight.  Would be a great watch, tough to pick.

He would look small at 168. Murray looked much bigger in there tonight although admittedly he is a huge middleweight.

he stopped Bute and Dirrell in the amateurs didn't he so I don't think size would be too much of a factor. Froch isnt one of the monster size SMW is he anyway.

Did anyone notice the hilarious introduction on Channel 5 ,just before the program started :- " and now it's professional boxing live from Monte Carlo.This program contains flashing images and scenes of violence" !

Too accurate for Froch
