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.
