I was really impressed with Golovkin yet again. Murray fought a brave and tactically good fight, but he had the shit beaten out if him.

- GGG has no stamina problems whatsoever.
- he retains his knockout ability throughout a long fight
- good, solid chin
- technically very accomplished, but also fires off seriously unorthodox big shots. Arthur Abrahams shell like guard that nobody can penetrate IS open at the top, and those slightly illegal downward chops GGG uses would be interesting for Arthur. Having said that, Abraham is strong as a bull and GGG may not be able to bully him
- great great footwork and an amazing fighter at cutting off the ring and keeping his opponents under constant, heavy pressure. He was trotting after Murray time and time again in this fight.

Some hope for future opponents, though

- didn't fight at all on the inside really, and wated a lot of energy trying to get out of clinches
- did get caught with a few punches, so not defensively particularly tight
- definitely vulnerable to a quick counterpuncher who can stand in the pocket and not get bullied back onto the ropes

It would take some fighter to take advantage of those points ..... But that style of guy sounds like Andre Ward to me. Is strong and dirty on the inside, quick and a beautiful counterpuncher, and who is a naturally bigger guy that Golovkin.

I can't see a middleweight around who would make much of a dent in Golovkin, and I'm already thinking about only the truly elite fighters in the division above him. That's a hell of a compliment.
