Gennady Golovkin’s next fight: Ryota Murata named as frontrunner for Japan bout

[Fenster]

Great pace set by Brant. Murata was one dimensional and just tried to land the big right. Fight was closer than the cards tho. Clear win for Brant. 116-112 is what I had it.

Shows how underrated Braehmer's win over Brant is.

Exactly. With hindsight Brant has one loss against a brilliant veteran at 168, we over looked him not overestimated Murata, as the boxrec boys will claim.

Top 5 right? That’s what you said isn’t it? Curious where you rate Brant?

Good question. Murata was ranked no.6 with N'dam no.9 (Ring). So technically Brant has formlines over two top 10 guys and is 24-0 at 160. That's stronger form at 160 than any other middleweight outside the obvious top 4. I guess there's a case for him being no.5

I would have had Murata around #7 going in. You can see by my 160 rating in the forum voted rankings thread that he wasn't in my top 5. But definitely top 10 entering the fight.

I'd put Brant at #8 after the win. Where do you rate Brant now, or are you going to keep that secret, like your predictions.

So how you rank does not include talent only who you have beaten? I don’t say this to downgrade Brant, I can’t judge him he may be very talented I don’t know, just trying to understand your system

So no reply to where you now currently rate Brant?

Well he just told you he hasn’t seen him and explained that his criteria includes more than wins on paper... This is some musical chairs

There is a thing called youtube, a with over 1200 punches thrown, it's not a bad fight to watch. A fantastic performance from Brant. I'm just trying to get an idea of where he considers Brant now.

We have nothing tangible to go on from Ron before this fight, other than he thought Murata was basic, I would have liked to see his top 10 middles going into this fight. So I would like to know if he now considers Brant top 10 or not. Or a list of his top 10 middles that he has seen, if that is his requirement.

If Ron doesn't want to rate Brant because he hasn't seen him fight, I have no problem with that, however I would like to see his current top 10 middleweights so we have a starting point to work with.

He has seen Murata fight tho right? So I'd be interested to see where he now rates Murata and who he ranks ahead of him.

Sounds like Canelo/ GGG 3 is all but announced for 4-May-19 at in Vegas.

All the more reason to hope Fielding pulls off a monumental upset. And to think they cried about Golovkin tuning up Vanes because it might risk the rematch .

and again..Golovkin has to follow lil ol Canelo around. This time to DAZN yeh?
