I know GGG gets people outta there early in most of his fights, but Murray is a solid challenge and will be smart enough to take GGG in to the later rounds. In a recent interview GGG and his trainer said they would love for this fight to go 12 rounds just so they know if GGG can handle it. I am taking the over 7 1/2 rounds +125 for 3 units.
"I need a decision fight," said Golovkin, who has not heard the final bell since winning an eight-round decision against the unknown Amar Amari in Denmark in 2008. "Martin Murray is the best challenger for a decision. He is strong and smart. I know everybody likes my style and they want big drama show. I need a decision fight. It's OK. Why not 12 rounds? I love big drama show but I understand my situation. People like short fight. I need long fight to prepare for [the elite opponents]. I must show the people I can do it, not just one or two rounds and, boom, knockout."
