 Odds To Win

Gennady Golovkin is one of today’s most feared boxers. And with an outstanding 31-0 record, his reputation is well warranted.

GGG was last in action in a victory over Marco Antonio Rubio with a second-round kayo at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. That bout followed vicious knockout victories over Australian Daniel Geale and title holder Osumanu Adama.

Martin Murray (29-1-1, 12 KOs), 32 years old, is a solid mid-level contender. He has wins over respectable opposition, but has faltered against high-level competition: In 2011, he travelled to Germany to draw against Felix Sturm. In April 2014 Murray suffered his first professional loss when he fell to Sergio Martinez.

In his most recent fight, Martin beat Domenico Spada with a technical decision– Spada had suffered a fight-ending cut over his eye. Before facing Spada, Murray had defeated Ukrainian Max Bursak and Ghanaian Ishmael Tetteh.
