Prediction for the fight Gennady Golovkin vs Ryota Murata
The legendary Kazakhstani Gennady "GGG" Golovkin, who holds the IBF / IBO titles in the middleweight division, will hold a unification fight with a local fighter, WBA Super champion Ryota Murata on April 9 in Saitama (Japan).
In total, the star fighter has 41 victories, incl. 36 KOs in 43 fights (1 draw and 1 loss against Canelo). Between 2006 and 2017, Golovkin had a record of 37-0. In 2018, he led the P4P rating. In Kazakhstan, the merits of a compatriot are marked by a number of high state awards.
Golovkin is right-handed, 179 cm tall, 178 cm arm span. Lives and trains in Los Angeles, under the guidance of Jonathon Banks, and works with Eddie Hearn's promotional company, Matchroom Boxing. April 8, Gennady will be 40 years old.
Murata is right-handed, height 183 cm, arm span 184 cm. Lives and trains in Tokyo. The interests of the fighter are represented by the Top Rank promotion company.
The experience and achievements of Golovkin, of course, make him the clear favorite of the upcoming confrontation, and the only doubtful moment is the level of physical fitness of the age fighter, on which almost all predictions in favor of Murata are based, although he is far from his first youth. In this regard, the emphasis is on the "wear and tear" of the Kazakhstani, who spent almost 2.5 times more fights in the pro ring.
If we discard the “guessing” about the physiological state of “GGG” (his manager, Tom Lefler, assures that Gennady looks like a 30-year-old athlete), then Murata’s chances to cope with Golovkin look frankly illusory. Ryoto perfectly understands the alignment of forces and the futility of competing with the favorite in boxing, so he will try to wear down the opponent with clinches and move the fight into the later rounds, in the hope that Golovkin will sit down and lose his attacking “focus”. If it is possible to bring the case to a judicial decision, then the “native walls” factor may also work. Of course, this alignment will not suit Gennady in any way, and he will do everything to end the fight with an early victory. The veteran has enough motivation - if he wins, he will receive not only championship belts, but also the opportunity to rematch with Canelo Alvarez, announced for September.

Gennady Golovkin vs Ryota Murata Fight Prediction
The fighters were preparing to fight in December last year, but due to quarantine restrictions in Japan, Golovkin was not allowed to enter the country. Thus, the downtime of both lasted another 3 months and amounted to 477 days for GGG and 838 for the Japanese. It is difficult to say who was more "harmed" by the postponement, but Murata's "rest" has clearly dragged on, and he will have to return with the most formidable opponent in his career, although Ryoto cannot boast of the big names of previous rivals anyway.The experience and achievements of Golovkin, of course, make him the clear favorite of the upcoming confrontation, and the only doubtful moment is the level of physical fitness of the age fighter, on which almost all predictions in favor of Murata are based, although he is far from his first youth.
