For GGG's November HBO date. The fight may not be able to be held in the U.S. due to a previous arrest of Murray, but possibly could be held in the U.K. Murray is a tough guy with better defense than Macklin, but would he be another sitting duck? I also heard that Sergio Mora wants Golovkin, which would be a nice tune up for Gennady if he wants to stay extremely busy. No "official" negotiations have taken place, but apparently these are the wishes of the animal that is Gennady Golovkin.
This is a good fight, Murray has looked by far the most useful of the three British middleweights (the others being Macklin and BAKERRRRRR) and I would be extremely impressed if Golovkin got him out of there early.
Yeah, based on his showing against (an admittedly crap version of) Martinez, he looks the best of the 3 Brits. I expect Gaybox to stomp him though, in 6 or 7 rounds.
That's kind of what I'm thinking. Golovkin may just stop this guy the same way he did Macklin when Murray puts the earmuffs on. I think he can frustrate GGG a little bit at least in the early going.
Golovkin stated that he offered the fight to Murray for Nov 2, but Murray said he was unaware of any offer. Murray's got to get his US visa sorted. Good fight but GGG should prove too much to handle. Murray is a big middleweight and has a tight defense but I can't see him being busy enough to compete with GGG, unless he can cope with his power and give some back.
Murray has already responded, but you're right...the venue could be a problem. If Golovkin can blow him out, it puts Martinez in an interesting situation. Murray gave him all he could handle, and Sergio would have to come in as a heavy betting underdog for the first time in a while if Golovkin shines. That's.......if this fight comes off.
Golovkin's style is more Americanized by the minute. By which I mean he's picking on Euro bums now almost exclusively
If Golovkin's Sights are Squarely Set on Martinez (Which they Seem to Be), Murray's the PERFECT Next Opponent...1nce Again, GGG Should Dispose of a Recent Martinez Foe MORE IMPRESSIVELY...By then, Martinez will Be CLOSER to Returning to the Ring... Sergio Mora's an Interesting STYLISTIC Choice, but he's SUCH a SPOILER, REED Would Advise GGG to AVOID him Altogether Until AFTER Ironing Out the Chavez Jr./Martinez Picture...If GGG's the Last Man Standing, THEN Face Mora, if he's KEPT Himself in the Mix by Then... REED:hammert:
I wish Gaybox would face Chavez Jr next. He would undoubtedly stop him, and we'd all relish the epic pasting Jr would receive.
Same for REED... It Would Be the Type of ETHNIC Showdown that REEKS of LIVE Fan Support on Both Sides...Pac-Marquez Type of Atmosphere, on a LOWER Scale... REED Knows Jr is on Andre Ward's Hit List, but he Might End Up Getting a BETTER Payday by Facing GGG... REED:hammert:
im sure HBO will attempt to push guys toward ward. wont matter since he's stinky, difficult to beat, and not popular
Junior is big, brave and has a solid chin, but Golovkin won't pot-shot him in the way Sergio did. It seems a large percentage of what Golovkin throws, even in combination, is thrown just plain nasty. Unless he suffers a hand injury of significance, it will take a crafty and intelligent fighter to weather that shit storm you know is eventually coming.
Murray is a solid pro, but Golovkin will go through him like a knife through butter, IMO... Stop him in 8 rounds, tops
