Well, it seems that you got it right! Murata only lasted 9 rounds and he can already barely fight on the 7th round and only managed to defend himself even if his defense is breaking bit by bit because GGG is really looking to knock him down and produce a KO victory. GGG still have those capabilities we discussed, he proved it today against the Japanese boxer! Murata's camp threw a towel when he knocked down and ended the fight with a TKO.
GGG has shown his power - no doubt he is more powerful that Murata.
Earlier I though since Murata is young he has amazing speed so he can win - undercard proved me wrong.
Murata was able to punch GGG lots of times during the early rounds. He can keep up with GGG or maybe, the latter just testing Murata and gives those early rounds for him. Later on in the fight, GGG now shows his destructive power and Murata can't do something about it. In the end, GGG got the 9th round TKO.
His camp concedes at the 9th round and accepts that GGG is too much for their Murata.
That's how powerful GGG is even at 40 years old. I just don't know if he can show the same strength once he face a much younger Canelo in September.
Well most of the member predicted that GGG is going to prove that he is more powerful than Murata. But I was adamant that Murata will win. Murata did show his strength but what was missing was his will.
Every time I bet on someone I loose. That is why I have decided not to bet.
Maybe, you have no luck for now in boxing. Your time will come also.
As we have seen in the dedicated thread for GGG vs Murata, GGG was indeed the favorite.
I also thought that Murata will put up a good fight as he has the youth among the two.
But anyway, seems that GGG vs Canelo has the possibility to happen again.
edit : GGG vs Canelo is indeed happening this September 16.
Maybe, last hurrah for GGG before retirement.
Canelo should really be prepared on this one.
