Good work posting the video!

I like murata but I am not sure how good he will be, he just seems a little bit stiff and awkward sometimes but I guess he has only had 9 pro fights and the level of opposition looks on paper to be pretty good for early fights, at the time of fighting murata all of them were well in the positive side of the win loss column, the oppositions total adds up to 175w-37l-10draws :S,....

He could do with getting more fights though as I think he needs a lot more good experience, he only fought twice in 2015 and he is already 30 so hopefully he and his team get him in the ring more often and find good opponents for him too.

If he stays more active he could defiantly win a trinket or 2. I agree at 30 he needs to do something quickly before the clock runs out on the Olympic gold medalist.

murata fought last week, against this fellow Felipe Santos Pedroso, Brazillian fighters rarely seem to be much more the ko fodder and that is what happened :S. Murata put in a pretty patient and good performance , looked like he mixed up his punches well and puts in some good body shots too, Pedroso didn't look great but I don't think he is awful either. Murata looked really comfortable the whole fight so I think he needs to step up the competition soon.

next he fights on the postol v crawford under card against a native american fellow with a similar record to what murata has fought before(few defeats and many victories v lower class fighters) , George Tahdooahnippah, it will be the 3rd fight of the year for murata which is already more than last year, hopefully he makes a run for some minor titles soon !
