IBF and IBO world champion Kazakhstani Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) knocks out WBA "super champion" Japanese Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs), bbabo.net correspondent reports.
The author of the YouTube channel "PRO-boxing with Vadim Grinikh" analyzed the April title fight. He found the weaknesses of the Japanese, which GGG will take advantage of.
Golovkin officially announced the date of the fight with the "super champion" for three titles
"Murata's strongest punch is a right straight and a right hook. Not a bad jab. He presses well. Holds a tight block and misses a relatively small number of punches. There are also disadvantages ... This block is flashed over again. Fighters like Golovkin are 100 percent they will pierce him. Especially with an uppercut. Secondly, when he throws a jab, his elbow moves away from the liver. And the way Golovkin loves to hit the liver is just a gift for a Kazakhstani.
I note that he has a good handle, but this point is questionable ... He has not yet had serious opponents with dynamite in his fists. Gennady Golovkin will be a real test for his jaw. Or maybe for the liver. Who knows? I note protection. There is only a block and nothing else. No dives or slopes. He got up and everything. No close combat: only works from a distance. And with Golovkin, he will need close combat.
Golovkin spent 43 as a pro. All 43, in my opinion, won. He has killer punches with both hands. The second is the jab. This is the main weapon of Gennady Golovkin, with which he grinds his opponents. The jab is able to drill through any block. He has excellent defense - he can work both forward and backward. There are no problems. In the American part of his career, he preaches Mexican felling.
My prediction for this fight. Gennady will undoubtedly win. The only question is, by points or by knockout. I think the Japanese is a tough guy and he can take hits from a 40 year old Golovkin. But at the same time, I still do not rule out a knockout, because Gennady still has a good charge of dynamite in his fists. I give about 35-40 percent for a knockout. Golovkin's victory is 90 percent," the expert believes.
