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 !
