[Boxing- Japan] 9.4/ 13:30 G.Golovkin- R.Murata
This is a huge unification bout taking place in Murata’s home of Japan. Both guys are coming into this off long lay offs, with Murata not having fought since December 2019 and Golovkin since December 2020. If Golovkin is still as good as his last fight against Sveremeta then I’m sure he wins this comfortably. Both are come forward pressure fighters but Golovkin is a lot more calculated with his output. Golovkin has arguably the greatest jab p4p and carries unbelievable power. Murata has decent power but I just think he has too many flaws overall. Both fighters don’t have much thought for defence, however Murata especially really leaves himself open. Even with his guard up, the Japanese fighter will often be caught. Murata has also never fought a world level fighter and has lost to fringe world levels fighters like Rob Brant before. Golovkin will go down as one of the greatest middleweights of all time and after seeing how incredible he looked at the weigh-in I’m confident he’s still good enough to take out Murata pretty comfortably.
Although Golovkin is now 40, Murata is no spring chicken either at 36 and the Japanese fighter has also had an extra year out.
For a middleweight Murata has a long frame and since he already has terrible defence I think GGG is going to find the target easy.
This will be the first ever fight where Murata will be pushed onto the back foot and I find it hard to imagine him dealing with that well considering he’s not used to it at all and with his poor balance I think it’ll lead to knock downs for Golovkin.
The trilogy for Golovkin vs Alvarez is already set for September 2022 only if both fighters win their bouts in the coming months. You’d have to imagine with Canelo being the huge money maker he is for networks and the dodgy business side of boxing that they’ll try to make sure the trilogy takes place this year with no hiccups.
I think we’ll see a strong display here from Golovkin where he’ll have his powerful jab landing on Murata from the off, following up with hooks and uppercuts which the Japanese fighter won’t be able to evade. I think we’ll see a stoppage win for Golovkin midway into the fight.
