Gennadiy Golovkin’s Boxing Odds & Betting Outlook vs Murata

Golovkin will enter the ring for this title unification opportunity just one day after his 40th birthday.

The IBF middleweight world champion, also the IBO champion although that is not up for grabs here, looks to add to his belt collection even more. En route to campaigning for a discussed third Canelo Alvarez fight before year’s end.

Avenging his lone pro defeat to Canelo, a supremely controversial one, would obviously be a legacy-defining hypothetical for the Kazakhstan-born combatant.

But it becomes one that fades away should GGG be unable to bypass Murata in the coming days.

This fight had been scheduled previously in late December last year. But tightening COVID-minded restrictions at the time lead to this blockbuster bout being postponed and redirected to April.

Golovkin vs Murata Recent Fights

Golovkin is the biggest middleweight KO artist of this generation and perhaps of all time.

The man who had a near decade-long streak of consecutive stoppages will look to impose his power on a more than capable puncher in Murata. A man who has put together stoppage victories across his last eight wins prior to this GGG prizefight.

Ryota Murata’s Boxing Odds and Betting Outlook vs Golovkin

Murata has not stepped into the confines of a ring for almost two and a half years. The 36-year-old former Olympic gold medalist has an incredibly deep toolbox to pull from.

The WBA middleweight world champion has avenged both of his professional defeats by way of knockout following losses that saw him outpointed over the distance.

Both of these men have a real technical mastery of the sweet science, and this is one of my most anticipated boxing bouts of the calendar year.

The five-inch reach advantage of Murata stands out but it’s the higher level resume of GGG has really shines through for me.

This is Murata’s biggest test on the biggest stage, while Golovkin is a little more familiarized with throwing down under those bright lights.

Gennadiy Golovkin vs Ryota Murata Tale of the Tape

Gennadiy Golovkin vs Ryota Murata Pick & Prediction

This bout is slated for twelve rounds, but I can’t see this one being decided by the ringside judges.

A prop bet on this fight-ending inside the distance as well as a prop on GGG winning via KO or TKO both present good value in my estimation.

For bettors looking for Golovkin vs Murata odds, look to BetMGM, FanDuel, and DraftKings Sportsbook.

Pick: Gennadiy Golovkin (-490)
