Thread: Martin Murray has the heart of a champion

Big respect to Martin Murray - he's a ring warrior.

He was Gennady Golovkin most determined opponent to date. You won't find a fighter with more courage in a boxing ring!

He had a lot of courage, GGG is just a force of nature and your mind can only physically will your body so far, he did the best he could.

I can think of one or two but Murray put on a great show, a real serious dude!! If the man had more power that would have been a different fight.

Yep, it was his lack of power that told. He just couldn't hit Golovkin hard enough to make him think twice. It was a gutsy showing. Murray is a tough guy.

I think GGG took his power from him by hurting him early.

Murray is a tough SOB it's a pity he had to face GGG, but he gave him a fight Martin took a
lot of hurtful punches, and I hope Murray has not had the fight beaten out of him,! the ref
this week done the correct thing,! in stepping in as Martin was spent.
Well done Martin you faced the best middle weight, I have seen for some time GGG is something
special.

I enjoyed the fight , Murray could be the second best MW out there , I fail to see why people don't like GGG he is a wonderful fighter.

Well done to the both of them.

Yes, he is a wonderful fighter. His combination punching is sublime and he is technically so solid. It's going to take someone very special to beat him. Golovkin has the mindset of a winner and it oozes through his pores.

Yup. He was a lot better than Rubio that's for sure.

Yes I agree. There is no reason not to like him and enjoy watching him fight. I've found that when a talented puncher like GGG or even Wilder come along, it is much more satisfying to hop on the bandwagon and root for them rather than bitterly wait until they lose to say "I told you so".

Murray was a credit to all us brits, came second in a great fight against a harder hitting version of Sugar Ray Leonard. He deserves to make good money, but sadly I cant see it in the current promotional scene. I can however see GGG becoming the next Manny Pac! Good luck to him

Murray's biggest stumbling block is that he can't fight in the States because of his Criminal record. His South African promoters have done everything they promised to do, but can they deliver other top fighters in that division to Monte Carlo?
Quillin - No chance.
Lee- Loses to Quillin anyway.
Cotto - not a hope in hell.
Winner of N'Dam v Lemieux - will probably want to capitalise Stateside. Maybe, but would take big bucks to make them defend away from home to a dangerous opponent.

Murray took a lot of punishment which may have aged him but based on that you'd give him a chance against any other middleweight. I think he gave up on winning pretty early and after that it was a survival mission but he lacked the fire power to keep triple G off him

Golovkin looked great. Taken late but murray was defensive minded against an aggressive fighter who takes risks I think we'll see more drama early. Cotto wouldn't have lasted that long

I completely disagree. He came into this fight very similar to the Martinez fight where he hurt Martinez late. Murray put his best round in in round 7 or 8 I think where he landed lots of good combos. The way GGG walked through them must be so demoralizing though.
