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

[Ron Swanson]

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

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
