Feb 21 Murray vs the Kazak

[smashup]

Golovkin will destroy him inside 6 rounds

The guy simply hits too hard, his footwork is maybe the best in boxing and he just cuts down the ring to the size of a phone box until he's ready to land his bombs.

There is no escape from this man, he knows he can knock anyone out because he's been doing it since he was a young kid.

Gennady Golovkin was born on April 8, 1982, in Karagandy, Kazakh SSR (now known as Kazakhstan) as one of four brothers to a Russian father who was a coal miner, and a Korean mother who was an assistant in a chemical laboratory. His older brothers, Sergey and Vadim, had pushed him into the ring. When he was eight, both of them joined the Russian army.

In 1990, Gennady's brother Vadim was killed in action. In 1994, Sergey was also killed in action. There were no details given by the government officials and there was no funeral for either. Both brothers were lost before Gennady had turned 14. Golovkin however pressed on and used the family tragedy as motivation to continue fighting.

“It was very tough, very tough. My family, it really tore us up. ”

Golovkin had been throwing big punches all his life. Growing up, Sergey and Vadim would walk the streets with Golovkin and pick men out of a crowd. Are you afraid of him, they would ask Gennady. When he said no, they told him to go get into a fight. Sometimes they wrestled, sometimes they boxed, sometimes they just threw punches.

"My brothers, they were doing that from when I was in kindergarten," Golovkin said. "Every day, different guys."



GGG has clearly had a seriously tough upbringing (not some dickhead Ghetto kid from the USA) and is driven by the death of his 2 older brothers.

It's gonna take something incredibly "Special" to stop this man in his tracks

He regularly beats up and hurts bigger guys in sparring which is widely known and just look at his post fight interviews " I Jus Like to maaaake Good Fight for Fans - real fight for fans"

He fucking loves bashing people up basically.

One seriously tough tough man of mind and body but with amazing natural boxing ability and KO power in both hands = verging on unbeatable

Reading between the lines then....you think he's crap?

[Tam Seddon]

I watched a fight with Golovkin vs Bakhtiyar Artayev the Olympic gold medalist when they were 15 , Golovkin won.

He also Banged out Lucian Bute in 2003 with a huge right hander (2.55)

[Fenster]

Unfortunately for Murray he isn't a big puncher. He is defensive minded though, big and mentally as hard as nails, so I think he'll at least take Golovkin late into the fight, maybe even the distance. (hmmm..wonder what odds i'll get on that?)

[smashup]

Murrays on the slide , just look at his last few fights he's scraping through them against poor opposition.

I had him 100% losing that 8 rounder against Komistsky a couple of years ago and he hasn't done much since just a UD and another stopped on a cut.

He can't punch either but will have to absorb massive amounts of brutal punches to stay the distance.

This'll get stopped

[Tam Seddon]

He peforms better at the bigger fights, it can happen in boxing. You can get dragged down to lower levels and not perform to your best.

Agreed Murray survives to the final bell.

[Rantcatrat]

If Murray survives to the final bell, he's a beast. I like GGG easy here. No insult to Murray. He'd beat most of the rest at 160.

He should have just said "we were thug greaseballs"

[IamInuit]

Thing is, I think Murray a bit of a thug to who no doubt has been in his fair share of punch ups. He's one of these guys you'd want on your side in a bar fight. I can actually see him shaving his head and going to a game of soccer looking for trouble. I think he'll be a tough out.

Is this a compliment?

Yes it is. I think Murray is a tough mofo in real life and that serves him well. Most of this mans other opponents were most likely convinced they were being stopped before the ring walk.
