Golovkin: Murata is the most important fight
“I am going to be 40 on Friday but I feel good,” says IBF middleweight champion Gennadiy “GGG” Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) who fights WBA middleweight champ Ryōta Murata (16-2, 13 KOs) in a long-awaited world title unification fight on Saturday night in Saitama, Japan. The DAZN telecast in the U.S. starts at 5:15AM ET, 2:15AM PT.
“I will continue fighting as long as I feel good and can train hard to fight at the level I have come to expect of myself. Living a healthy lifestyle keeps me feeling good, strong.
“Yes, I have been told by several reporters that Canelo wants to fight me again and that this time it is personal. If it is so personal, why has it taken him four years since our last fight? He pretends it is personal. I find it puzzling he would make such a claim.
“Murata is the most important fight. Period. I do not look ahead. I have been fully invested in training for the fight I have in front of me. I have too much respect for Murata and his body of work. My focus is on him and winning his title. That is why I am in Japan. I look forward to fighting in a packed arena. I have missed that energy. It is going to be exciting because we both have similar styles of fighting. We are both power punchers, we are aggressive and we come forward. Diamonds cut diamonds and on Saturday, there will be two diamonds in the ring. It will be a boxing gift to the fans I expect it to be the fight of the year.

GGG stops Murata, unifies WBA/IBF 160lb belts
By Joe Koizumi
Gennadiy Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs), 160, unified the WBA and IBF middleweight belts as he withstood a grueling battle with Japanese warrior Ryota Murata (16-3, 13 KOs), 160, and finally decked him with his tremendous attacks to halt him at 2:11 of the ninth round on Saturday in Saitama, Japan. Murata, WBA titlist, displayed his admirable courage in continually stalking GGG, who, however, caught up with him and secured a very significant victory.
Promoter: Teiken Promotions.

Canelo may now be too strong
GGG prime has passed even though I would love him to get a win in the trilogy
RE: GGG/Murata. DAZN. Saturday - diehard - 04-10-2022
Bart, did you see the fights? GGG getting hit way too much. Of course, Canelo's punch outage isn't where it was either. Really impressed with Murata but he's too old right now to do much in the middleweight division.
RE: GGG/Murata. DAZN. Saturday - bart - 04-10-2022
GGG did get hit way too much and v Canelo thats not a good tactic
I see GGG stepping up when they fight but will it be too many trips to the well?
Great work from Canelo to stall fight 3 for GGG to taper
