Finally the match began. It brought lots of excitement to the boxing fan. Now finally up card is over. But GGG did not cease to impress me, I was betting on GGG as well. What a strength at this age Keep Rocking!
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.
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.

As expected, Murata will be the aggressor on the early rounds and try to wear down GGG but he failed as he's the one who gassed out first and his defense is slowly getting weaker as every round goes by. Like you said, I'm also thinking that maybe GGG let Murata do it and didn't tried to finish him earlier because he is still testing him about his capabilities. Well, GGG proved it again that his age isn't a factor to let him slow down in the industry and he's really hungry for that trilogy. I really hope though that it would happen in September.

Honestly, it's hard to judge now, so many things happened, Canelo is on another level, GGG although can still stand against a dangerous and young fighter age is now showing on GGG, I don't want to judge GGG I always believe style makes a fight and things will be different when they face each other, GGG has proven that he can take big punches, Canelo has not been exposed to hard punches because of his defense things could be very different in their third fight, I don't want to give it right away to GGG or even Canelo.

I'm with others here that this thread might lead to a mess. Kind of not convenient for me to participate in specific boxing matches where the thread is full of different discussions. We will see Casimero vs Butler, Donaire vs Gaballo, Crawford vs Porter, GGG vs Murata, Ippo vs Martinez lol, and even exhibition matches that are out of the context of the real boxing in the same thread. There are lots of boxing events and that requires different analyzations and speculations. We are not having any problems with that kind of setup so I think we better stick with it.
Instead, better this thread will serve as a compilation of upcoming boxing events, or just a pure betting discussion with only a few general discussions just like the setup of NBA general thread and NBA betting thread, although it's not really necessary to have that one in boxing as in basketball, almost every day has a game.
You have written it well. Murata barely fight after 7th round. Although the fight lasted for 9 rounds but we have seen Murata was unable to stand hi.
Now the undercard is over we look fwd for the final round.

@Distinctin. The promoters might give GGG his trilogy against Canelo only if he gets the victory versus Murata dominantly and convincingly. I am quite certain Canelo will not agree with GGG on anything if GGG wins with a close decision against the Japanese fighter. I reckon it might be a close decision because GGG is old. He will be 40 years old on the day of the fight. Murata is also taller with a reach advantage of 2 inches and he is also younger. The fight will also be in Japan. I will not be shocked if the corrupt judges will give this a split decision for Murata.
Wow, the truth is that I had not thought about that, but you make very interesting points, apart from GGG's age and the difference with Murata, I think that Murata has a slight advantage and it is the so-called "irreverence", perhaps due to the fact of being more I don't have much respect for the experience or the "history or trajectory" of GGG, but I particularly tend to analyze many things and the effect that age has on the sport, and sometimes age has a great influence on being somewhat slower and having more limitations, but this influences a lot in soccer or in a sport where you have to run a lot, but in boxing maybe not, because by keeping the muscles active, the performance can be better or maybe more forceful, I hope that the trilogy will take place , GGG needs it, it would also be an excellent way to close his career with a good winning streak, Murata may take more experience and his career becomes more interesting.
Not just GGG who have to win his fight but also Canelo, and both of them has the chance to be getting upset in their respective fights. We can read more about that in the thread made to them "Canelo vs Bivol".
I can't really believe that GGG's age is already a disadvantage to him because he's just fighting a 4 years younger Murata and that doesn't mean that the latter is younger then it's automatic that he has the advantage. I think we forgot their background and experience, GGG in age of 36 has achieved and defeated better and stronger opponents than what Murata had of his age now. A boxer or athlete can be slower as their age grows but that process can be slower if the boxer has been continuously active throughout those years.
Well sometimes experience will play along the way, so we will see how GGG's will affect him or not. Hopefully he will still have the body to beat Murata and then we proceed to the GGG vs Canelo because that will be the biggest fight of 2022. Murata will have this so called home court but it doesn't matter if GGG will defy his age and show that he is still in great shape. So it's a road trip again for GGG, and for sure everyone here is excited to see who will win this fight.

At first when there's no news that Canelo and GGG will have their trilogy, I might say that this fight is a regular anticipated one just because GGG is also fighting but when the news came out that Canelo and him will have a trilogy. The fight becomes more interesting because we know that GGG has been calling this for years and now that he had the agreement, all he left to do is beat Murata so that the trilogy will become into reality.
For sure, there's a lot of people that will watch this fight.
Yeah, this fight added 10x of the hype because of the potential of GGG vs Canelo trilogy. But first fans and boxing pundits alike will have to see if GGG, even at his age can still pull the trigger. And this will be a big test for him. Murata is also a good champion so this fight is really going to be a war. Murata wanted to derail the fight of GGG against Alvarez and then GGG need to show something that h has a chance against Canelo but beating a tough fighter in Murata.For sure, there's a lot of people that will watch this fight.
Both Canelo and GGG have to upset their each respective opponents, this is a battle of champions before the trilogy will come into reality.
Murata will do his best to defeat GGG as that will be the key to open his doors in this industry for more future fights. While GGG also needs this ticket for the upcoming trilogy with Canelo and Murata is a hinder that he needs to surpass with flying colors so that those doubts at him that he's already slowing down because of his age will stop for good and show that can still dance well with the prime Canelo.

The best boxer who fighting not only became a greatest boxer at the time of he retired.He will also used as the new coach to their country.Only the sports person had this capability to do work after his/her retirement.Not even a big shots do this.After earning billions,the businessman take rest.So I love all the sportsman and so it’s called as sportsman spirit.
Not sure if the following would be opt here but would like to share it. Yah I too have seen the top players (irrespective of any sports) as a coach or a mentor when they turn old. Even the governments give chances to be on the respective sports main board to discuss, support and etc. Their inputs are valued. At times they even start up their own sports foundations where young players are trained and grown up. Players make players. Their sacrifice and dedication must be awarded constantly.
Then it will be a shame if we are going to witnessed a robbery if Murata is declared a winner even if GGG should be the one to win that fight. But let's see, I think GGG will try to finished the fight early and will go for the knock out so that there will be no home town decision advantage for Murata and not give any chance for the judges to change the outcome of the fight and derail his third fight with Alvarez.
Yes and the thread for GGG vs Murata have come up for almost 40 pages already, that's one of the sure signs that this fight is anticipated by many people around the world and especially now that GGG can have another chance to dance with Canelo for the 3rd time, the only thing left is to defeat Murata by a KO so there could be no more doubt at him again.
I also hope that this fight will be fair and fun, 4 more days to go until we can watch the Big Drama in Saitama, Japan.

You have a good point on this. If GGG by any chance will lose to Murata, do you think he can still attract good money that he's talking about? The likelihood of getting big money is if in case, he will beat Murata. Because the fans will either be rooting for GGG or Canelo, if both will emerge as winners in their respective fights before their match-up. We can't be too confident about GGG's possible win because Murata has also a good boxing record.
I think they can still attract good money even if GGG will lose to Murata since the fight is not just about GGG. Many fans also like to see Canelo and he will be the main reason why it will generate a big money. The anticipated GGG vs Canelo III is a much-awaited boxing scene regardless of what will be the result of their respective fight, GGG against Murata and Canelo against Bivol.
Do some people here really think that Murata will win against GGG? What if Murata won by Decision but it's clear that GGG is the winner? A Knock Out win is the only convincing method for people to see that Murata is a winner.

We don't have to worry about that because it's more like an already an assurance that this fight will not be rigged as the Japanese people have been known around the world to be fair and square. I ain't really bothered that an instances like that will happen, but we will also watch closely to it because they're also human being meant to have a mistake.
Aside from that, Murata is really nothing compared to GGG. He doesn't have any advantage aside from his age and that he will fight in his own soil.
And speaking of robbery though, it seems that Murata has gotten the end of the stick as well:
https://www.badlefthook.com/2017/5/20/15669890/ryota-murata-robbed-as-fellow-japanese-standouts-take-home-wins
So we will see and hopefully it won't happen to GGG in Japan. We will never know though, we still have to wait and see if judges are going to be fair. So the only way to control the outcome is for GGG to score a sensational KO.
That seems like a bit of a overstatement. Murata might not hold a candle to GGG, however this does not make him nothing. Murata has enough grit to face this out, and may even be lucky enough to win. Especially if you look at past fights like against Brant and Butler. During his last fight, Murata's 64 power punches were the second most connected by a middleweight in a single round.
Thats powerful. So I would not underestimate Murata just yet.
No, it wasn't but sorry if it translates that way because GGG is on a different league compared to Murata. I'm not saying that the latter doesn't stand a chance at all but his chances are not that big either. Thats powerful. So I would not underestimate Murata just yet.

Do some people here really think that Murata will win against GGG? What if Murata won by Decision but it's clear that GGG is the winner? A Knock Out win is the only convincing method for people to see that Murata is a winner.
Then it will be a shame if we are going to witnessed a robbery if Murata is declared a winner even if GGG should be the one to win that fight. But let's see, I think GGG will try to finished the fight early and will go for the knock out so that there will be no home town decision advantage for Murata and not give any chance for the judges to change the outcome of the fight and derail his third fight with Alvarez.
We don't have to worry about that because it's more like an already an assurance that this fight will not be rigged as the Japanese people have been known around the world to be fair and square. I ain't really bothered that an instances like that will happen, but we will also watch closely to it because they're also human being meant to have a mistake.
Aside from that, Murata is really nothing compared to GGG. He doesn't have any advantage aside from his age and that he will fight in his own soil.
That seems like a bit of a overstatement. Murata might not hold a candle to GGG, however this does not make him nothing. Murata has enough grit to face this out, and may even be lucky enough to win. Especially if you look at past fights like against Brant and Butler. During his last fight, Murata's 64 power punches were the second most connected by a middleweight in a single round.
Thats powerful. So I would not underestimate Murata just yet.
