[Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule

[wxa7115]

But with the current version of Canelo? and then GGG maybe fading as he is in 40's? I think Canelo should go for him and proved once and for all that he beat GGG fair and square. But we goes on the record saying that he is no longer interested so that is a open book for us boxing fans. Canelo though will end as of the best boxers of our era and GGG on the top 3 of the best middleweights of all time.

Canelo is like the best in his generation now, but there's one guy that he really cannot dominate in the ring, and that is GGG. Maybe the reason why he is not fighting him anymore is because he knows himself that he is at a risk of losing the fight, just my personal thoughts though, don't take it seriously.

Yeah, that's why when both of them have retired, there could be a lot of arguments about that 3rd fight not happening. But no one can argue that they are the best of their division and Canelo upping up by moving in weight and becoming the first Mexican to become a 5th belt champion.

Going back to the fight, there are still no news of he schedule, but hoping that at least it will happen in the second quarter of this year as Japan is easing on their travel ban.

There's no exact date but it says in the article below that the fight is rescheduled for March/April.

Golovkin vs. Murata To Be Rescheduled March/April, Says Hearn

Let's hope that the fight will happen and will not be rescheduled again, we have to see GGG fight this year so he will not be stagnant for a long period, and since this is a unification fight, we should not miss this.

As long as we have an idea of when the fight could take place that is fine for me, after all I was afraid that this fight would have been canceled as we have seen many fights that were supposed to be fought at Japan to be canceled due to the heavy restrictions of the country.

Still this must be exasperating for someone like GGG that does not have time as his ally due to his age while at the same time all of this works on Murata’s favor.

Nah, I can't underestimate GGG even at his age now, he is still powerful and a strong fighter and I have a feeling that Murato would not last against GGG and still GGG will beat his opponent, probably by KO. I know that our opinion maybe different because we are bias, but for me, I will stick with my belief that GGG will dominate here and age is not his disadvantage.

I understand that age is a factor but still, Murata's credentials aren't showing us why should he win this fight. There's no underestimating here for Murata but just sharing some facts. There's even no destructive power he showed at most of his fight. He become a champion because he was assigned.

The only hindrance might I say to GGG is, if he will suffer a minor injury prior to the fight since the fact that age is a factor and his usual self might not handle now the common practice he is undergoing during his prime day.

I have the same view as you. Even GGG is now past his prime, we can say that his destructive power is still there. Murata is not even a threat to GGG's legacy and the only advantage that I can see for him is if the fight will still hold in his home country, Japan.

Murata's experience is also not that solid. He only has a few fights and not big ones to consider compared to the fight experience of GGG.

GGG will win this match. Not because of the name but the record will tell it all.

i don't worry much about murata  fighting in his home country. japanese people are one of the honest people that i know of. so i don't think they will resort to cheating or of that sort. we also don't know the lineup of the judges.
murata has the youth but GGG has the experience. and based from the poll, everyone is rooting for GGG here.
but their respective promoters should make up their mind fast when will this finally happen as GGG is not getting any younger.

Hopefully that won't happen to GGG. This postponement of the fight extends the drills and practices. He can do the usual or lighter drills for sure his doctors are also aware and monitor his health conditions. I can say that the chance for him to win when the fight takes place is still higher compared to Murata. Experienced, wise fighting, much tougher opponents are his advantage. He can take that edge and
maybe a possible KO may happen to Murata.

Indeed! Japan is famous for their honesty and fairness, so actually there's no need for us to worry about the cheating issue or about the judge and for sure both parties are also aware about that.

Murata is well known in Japan since he got a gold medal on London Olympics, on the other hand, GGG also won a silver medal on Athens Olympics. Murata may be a good boxer but he's nowhere near to GGG's level and experience, so he's not a big threat over-all.

[LUCKMCFLY]

GGG never underestimates his opponents but it's us fans who think it will be easier for GGG to beat Murata because he is not a world-class fighter. I think the fight will be more exciting if both would really train hard, and I'm pretty sure that the least we can expect in this fight is to see a KO.

GGG has not been defeated brutally by any fighter, in fact his first loss was only against Canelo Alvarez in a controversial fight.

It's great to know that GGG has a solid fans who supported him all through his career and yeah we the fans are the one who push our favorite fighters to strive hard and give their best to win the fight. I believe GGG and Murata are both good fighters and I'm expected that this upcoming fight will be a difficult fight to both fighters. I am also excited to see them inside the ring and fighting for their belt but the question is when we will going to see these 2 fighters inside the ring. 

It's that just thinking about how this fight will be of course exciting, I don't know if the fight fixers are delaying on purpose to cause more fury and anxiety for the fans and the bets are shot to new limits, but when you see all the days the word "Reschedule" without even advancing something, gives impotence, not only for betting, but for sports, GGG needs to show that it has everything, that it has not lost anything, on the other hand Murata has a lot of challenge when facing a great opponent, with everything that is happening in the world, it would be a good show if they could offer it soon, I think it is time to give that show to the fans.

Same here, it's indeed time to at least give the fans something to look forward to. A new date perhaps.

Is there no updates about this unification fight yet? It's been 2 months since they postponed the fight and we're already in the middle of February but I still don't see any new schedules.

Maybe they are delaying it but not for the purpose of creating more hype on this one. I think there is hype already specially if the fight are going to be made in Japan. And we all know that GGG fight are exciting and then Murata the local champion of Japan. Perhaps the promoters are delaying it to smooth things up first in Japan as we all know that they are easing the covid-19 restrictions a bit.

There's still no solid information about the schedule of this fight, I think the last update was the time Hearn said that this fight could happen somewhere in April but it is not yet confirmed as Japan is still have strict restrictions about entering their border.

Japan’s borders could be set to reopen in March after being closed to tourists for two years.
The tight restrictions are set to expire on 28 February. And, though they could be extended again, the government is reportedly inclined to let them end.

Last year, they said that this fight will be postponed for maybe a month and it has been already 2 months since then. Well at least now we have something to look forward for and by starting at the fact that Japan is getting ready to ease up restrictions and travel bans by the end of this month. The people and the fans are really rooting about this unification fight, so hopefully we can see this much awaited match before mid year.

Indeed, the news sounds very positive and I'm optimistic that we will see this fight be realized this year. As the restriction lightens, there are no more excuses for a fight to be canceled, unless one of the fighters will choose not to continue, and I'm pretty sure in this fight it's not gonna be GGG who would do that.

You mean GGG will be the one who will come out victorious? If so, then we share and have the same view. GGG have definitely more experience than Murata and that gives him more advantage even at his age, while Murata, this is his test if he really have what it takes to be a world champion.

I expect that this fight will happen on or before 2nd quarter of the year and not longer than that, maybe next month will receive some much more wonderful news about the fight after Japan ease its border and restrictions.

I believe that both fighters are willing to proceed and they are excited for this fight, Murata will love this fighting in front of his fans

against a well-known and respected fighter, while with GGG it's an opportunity to hype his name and get another chance to call for

a good money fight. It's interesting for the promoters to create noise now to call the attention of those fans who wanted to see

this fight happen.

This fight will certainly proceed and there's no reason for the both boxers on why would they won't proceed into this fight as it will benefit them both just like as you said, also lots of efforts and money have been already poured to make the fight happen but sadly it was postponed because of the omnicron variant so they won't really let this fight go down the drain.

The restrictions imposed at Japan are no joke, however now that we are leaving the pandemic behind and instead the disease has become endemic in the population most countries have no option but to relax the measures taken against this virus.

However it would be interesting how GGG deals with this, believe it or not training too much can be counterproductive and athletes that have trained themselves to reach their peak at a certain period of time may find difficult to adjust their training regime if the competition in which they were going to participate were to be delayed for that long, so GGG may not be at his best shape when facing Murata if he is not careful.

[Fredomago]

Yes, the restrictions is getting better now, in many countries they've got lighter restrictions and the chance of removing any is nearly to come. We will see this event to happen if both camps are still aiming for it.

That's possible but with his experienced, and with his training camp still the chance that he will be fit and condition when
this fight take place, GGG  understand the risk and his camp will adjust with that.

[milewilda]

Yes, the restrictions is getting better now, in many countries they've got lighter restrictions and the chance of removing any is nearly to come. We will see this event to happen if both camps are still aiming for it.

This isnt only talking for this match but also in other matches as well as this pandemic situation is nearly coming to end or would really be totally decreasing down to endemic
which when it comes to restrictions and prohibitions then all of countries would really be not too scared and imposing those things.
Speaking of the fight then GGG would be having the edge, yet even some people do say that experience doesnt matter then you would
definitely see this gap once this fight happens.
