It's getting to the stage where every round is like a year off Murray's career.

Probably correct decision by the ref.

To be fair it's terrestrial so it's more catered for the casual watcher. Al Bernstein is great on Showtime but he's restricted a bit on Channel 5 shows.

Well done Murray. He did exceptionally well to get back into the fight after the early knock-down, but really the ref could have stopped it anytime after the eight round. People will talk about all the technical attributes that Golovkin has but to me, his biggest assets are his relentless aggression and his anvil-like head. He can take a haymaker punch square in the face and instantly return the favour with a knock-out punch of his own.
Hope you feel better now serial lurker

Fantastic effort from Murray, guy is tough as nails. Going out on your feet is nothing to be ashamed of against GGG.

Hats off to Martin Murray for his effort, but he met a man on another planet to him in MW terms.
Golovkin needs a superfight: I don't know who against, but he needs one. He's stated that he's willing to go up or down to get the big fights, so either go down & go after FMJ; go up & go after Froch or Ward, or stay where he is & wait for El Canelo. They'd all be superfights & I think Golovkin has earned that & needs it. |

Golovkin shouldn't go down. Don't want him have to drain himself for the sake of a superfight.

Agreed, especially at his age. He should go up. But I think he should go up and have a trial fight before taking on any of the really big boys. A semi-superfight, if you will. I think Arthur Abraham would be a great match for him.
Last night showed he's not just a level above the rest in the division but probably a good few levels. Staying here is pointless. |

Is there anyone else who doesn't think Golvin is all that great?
He's flat footed, square on and not too difficult to hit and isn't all that fast either for a small*middleweight. He's beaten a lot of fairly mediocre fighters. Imho, in better era's against genuine top class, he'd have been exposed. |

Yes it's too late but I'm still mad hyped. Whether now or 3-years ago the result for me is the same.
Mayweather by UD. His workrate would have been too much with Floyd being dragged into the kind of fight he's never liked fighting. |

Why is there no-one willing to go up or come down and meet GGG? There's no doubt that Murray was a great test for GGG, he gave it his best and hit him with some decent shots but GGG was/is a better class. |

Be keeping an eye on that, hoping it doesn't clash with the Fury fight.
