Inoue is more excited than boxing fans for the Murata-Golovkin match on the 9th.
“Golovkin will come to Japan and play against Murata. It’s an incredible fight. I can’t believe it because I haven’t seen Golovkin either. On top of that, Murata won this time. For example, I think the phrase “the biggest victory in Japanese history” applies. I want Mr. Murata to aim for the biggest victory in Japanese history. “
Although the class is different, Inoue knows the strength of Golovkin, who boasts the 20th consecutive defense of Thailand, which is the most in the middleweight world war.
“I’m watching a match against Canelo (4 groups unified super middleweight champion Saul Alvarez), but Golovkin is a” monster. “Especially the left hook is also managed by myself. Where to hit the temple and forehead. That impression is very strong. “
Popular enough to earn over 1 billion yen in one game, and the ability to unify the middleweight world belts of three groups (WBA, IBF, WBC). What is Murata’s chance to cross his fist with Golovkin, who is said to have come to Japan since the former world unified heavyweight champion Mike Tyson?
“I think it’s the first half of the game for Murata to win. What I’m concerned about is that both have long blanks (2 years and 4 months for Murata and 1 year and 4 months for Golovkin). Do you grab it? Before Golovkin returns to the feeling of a blank match, if Mr. Murata goes out from the start, he can compete. That’s why Mr. Murata’s right is in. He won the gold medal at the Olympics, that first half of the match. I think physical is the key. “
The lightweight class is a middleweight class with many 1-2 digits in the box office scale, and it is a big event where two world belts are hung. I feel that it is a card that can only be realized in the home, such as in Europe and the United States, because Inoue has played in the United States and Britain.
“Given the current position of Golovkin, I don’t think there will ever be a boxer like Mr. Murata. The battle that was realized because he became the Olympic gold and professional world champion. Mr. Murata is in that position and position. I’m looking forward to Mr. Murata’s first confrontation with the world champions. “
Inoue is full of feelings and expectations to support Murata, who longs for “big brother”.
Murata, who launched sparring last weekend, has been making final adjustments at his gym in Tokyo from this week. Former Mexican champion Adrián Luna and North American champion Jose de Jesus Mathias (Mexico), who came to Japan in November last year and worked on Golovkin measures as training partners for about four months, returned to Japan. Murata commented, “I’m really grateful,” through his official gym website. Weight loss is also proceeding smoothly.
Inoue will appear on Amazon Prime Video, where the Murata-Golovkin match will be broadcast live, along with MC, live commentary, and commentary. Inoue is also looking forward to visiting the memorable venue where he confronted Nonito Donaire (Philippines) in the bantamweight final of the World Boxing Super Series, the tournament that decides the strongest class held in November 2019. .. He will also contribute a spectator record in the Nikkan Sports newspaper on the 10th.
