I didn't expect that Murata is far more famous in Japan rather than Inoue, I mean for the meantime here in forum the upcoming fights of Inoue are the most awaited fights of every bettors. However, since it is mentioned thag Murata is viewed as a hero of Japan in terms of his boxing career then this upcoming fight of him with GGG will surely one of the most awaited fight in Japan, but since due to pandemic it is rescheduled, I just do hope this fight will be push through by next year.
They have the same path in my opinion, started in Japan and then fight bigger names in the US.
The thing is that Inoue fights in lower classes and that's where maybe casual fans followed most as compare to the heavier weight classes like the Middleweight division.
Hopefully, this fight is still going to happen in early part of 2022 because this is very intriguing stylistic match up.
i have to agree that inoue's name here rings a bell as compared to murata. maybe because of his recent fights and the different discussions here in this forum alone. but if murata is big in his own country, then, they can get very good gate purse here, which is good for both. but let's see if there will be change of venue owed to the new wave of covid. japan will be very strict on this matter. we will see how things go with this omicron variant at the early part of next year.
this match may even be delayed if there will be more covid restrictions in most countries.
that but of course we shouldn't cross out the probabilities of those things been mentioned about preferring on taking the fight of the home county of Murata because citizens do really love to see and
support their Hero.
GGG cant be beaten up even how well this Murata is but well we cant remove the possibilities.
