✅ I propose to recap the best moments of this fight and see my review of this confrontation. А round-by-round analysis.
Gennady Golovkin became the new World Boxing Association (WBA) middleweight super champion after knocking out Ryota Murata in a war held at the Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
The Kazakh, who was already IBF champion, snatched the belt from the Japanese and is now the unified 160-pound monarch after stopping him in the ninth round with a hair-raising right hand.
However, the fight was not easy for “GGG”, who found himself up against a brave and motivated puncher who came ou
...t on equal footing. The Kazakh had to deal with the jab of a taller opponent and the right hand of a Murata that swelled Golovkin’s cheekbone early. The straight right hand that came in the ninth left Murata without response, who fell to the canvas with delayed effect and in his condition the referee Luis Pabon decided not to make the count.
Golovkin showed that his power is still there and now has a record of 42 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw and 37 knockouts. Murata dropped to 16 wins, 3 losses and 13 knockouts.Show more
