Comments Thread For: Golovkin, Murray On Weight For Middleweight Title Fight

[JakeNDaBox]

Gennady Golovkin and Martin Murray are ripped and ready for their middleweight clash, as the two collide Saturday evening at Salle des �toiles in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Golovkin tipped the scales at a shredded 158.9 lb., while the equally supremely conditioned Murray crept right under the middleweight limit at a fighting ready 159.9 lb.

The bout will air live from location on HBO, marking the network's first ever boxing telecast from the luxurious resort location in its 40+ years in the business.

Golovkin (31-0, 28KOs) attempts the 13th defense of his middleweight title, having held at least one portion of the crown since Aug. '10. The hard-hitting Kazakhstani has turned heads since his amateur days - capped by a silver medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics - and especially since turning pro in 2006. [Click Here To Read More]

158.9 lbs and GGG doesnt even look like a skeleton, maybe he can really make 154, but it wont be healthy...

Imperial measurements with a decimals is a no no

He was only a few pounds over 160 finishing camp, I'm sure he can make 154 but he would just get ducked into fighting a nobody.

I was surprised to see how many British fans were at the weigh in, and they were making a lot of noise too.

Murray looked in awesome condition - big for the weight, ripped, and very confident.

GGG looked the way he always does - innocent, baby face, stuck on top of a muscular, athlete's body.

There was no attempt by either guy to psyche or indimidate the other during the face-off, and neither of them said anything. They just looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds, then shook hands and that was that. Both guys are just ready to go, without any bull****.

This is going to be GGG's best toughest challenge yet, I reckon.

Of course he can make 154... But who would dare to take him? Mayweather? Cotto? As about Canelo... He can't even make 154, I guess... and he holds no belt at the moment...
... I think that Lara would take such a fight -- but Lara doesn't bring money on the table...

(Don't forget: Russians always had big issues in beating Cubans...)

Yeah exactly, the only big event opponent at 154 who would actually fight him (Canelo) is basically a middleweight anyway.
