Shame you didn't tell us the underdog (Brant) would pull an obvious upset, we would have all been minted. The bookies thought the fight was much more competitive than "boxrec experts."

Juergen Braehmer schooled Brant, he would be a talented guy for Golovkin. Agree?
Yea those cards were way to wide. Brant won but it was closer. I had it 116-112.

Murata was so 'basic' he was a 6-1 favorite. Brant is a good fighter and set a tremendous pace. Murata fought 1 dimensionally, just trying to land his big right hand. Upsets happen, no one here saw this coming, or if they did, never posted about it.
He fought one dimensional but he wasn’t basic? Is that the argument?

Because I was quite clear before the fight just how basic he is. One dimensional sounds like basic to me.
Styles make fights, didn't hear you say anything about Brant winning. I haven't seen Murata fight that badly before. He was just loading that right.
I’ve never seen Brant fight, I wouldn’t make a prediction on him. I don’t make many predictions on fights at all actually. I more point to abilities and weaknesses. Like GGG having fantastic punch selection but the drawback of tipping his punches. If his left elbow is tight he’s looking down the middle 1-2, if it flairs a few inches he’s going to come around with the hook. These types of things can be used for others more arrogant to predict fights. I just speak on talent and on my obnoxious desire to see great fighters take good fights against talented fighters. And then I read the insults of me for daring to ask fighters to fight hahaha
No one is disagreeing with you about the best fighting the best.

As I said, Murata was a 6-1 favorite. This was considered an upset. Upsets happen. I don't think anyone here was saying Murata was an elite, but he had recorded a decent win at 160 and has shown to have decent skills. Like I said, Brant won the fight but it was much closer than the official cards. Now does that automatically mean Murata can't fight? Braehmer is a very good fighter, I think I was one of the few who were picking him to beat Callum Smith (there should be evidence of this), that fight was at 168 against a former light-heavyweight champ, did Brant freeze? Has he improved?

Not making predictions is like sitting on the fence, but then trying to comment on the outcomes after the fact shows even less.
