Both middleweight champions are on short winning streaks since their recent loss, with Golovkin losing his rematch to Canelo Alvarez in September 2018 and Murata losing decisively to Rob Brant a month later. Over the past 3 years, Golovkin has only fought 3 times, and this is a person who not so long ago was regularly fighting 3 times a year. But on the other side, Murata has only fought twice in the last three years, and he won’t have a match for almost two and a half years.
Golovkin will have just turned 40 a day before the match. So Triple G is not a spring chicken. But despite his age, Golovkin remains an elite middleweight. Triple G is a very smart fighter, he is a highly skilled fighter with a great punch, strong punching power, a solid chin and he has amazing fighting instincts. Murata is 36 years old, so he’s no spring chicken either. Murata has officially had two career losses, and he avenged both, controversially for the first time. And the only cons on Golovkin’s ledger were his draw in the first game against Canelo, and his loss in their rematch, each with a stream of controversy.
This can turn out to be a great battle given the position these people are at this stage in their respective careers. Golovkin will be highly motivated as a potential 3rd matchup against the suspended Canelo in the balance, and Murata will also be highly motivated as he will face the man who was at or very close to the top of the game. average weight class for many years. . So it is certain that both champions will enter this match with more determination than ever, with very high stakes, and both have reached an age where skills can degrade rapidly. All of this makes for an incredibly engaging matchup between these two middleweight titles.
