Bet on Gennady Golovkin vs Ryota Murata Live

It has been a little while since one of the great faces in boxing GGG got into the ring. Now he is back with a very solid fight against the Japanese Ryota Murata on 09 April. Who is gonna win and how should you bet on Gennady Golovkin vs Ryota Murata? Here is our preview, odds, and predictions.  

The exciting middleweight unification fight is taking place in Tokyo on 09 April. Many do not know Ryota Murata well vs one of the most famous boxers in the world, Gennady Golovkin. Thus, it goes without saying that online sportsbooks in Japan react to the fans by favoring Golovkin. However, this is just a glimpse to how the fight will unfold. We provide you here with the full picture before you bet on Gennady Golovkin vs Ryota Murata.

To start from the end it will not be a walkover for the Kazakh legend. But is there a chance for an upset here or not? We will be answering that particular question a little bit later. However, let us first take a look at the stats of the two fighters, which is always an important step to take when betting on boxing.

Breakdown of Golovkin vs Murata Stats

Gennady Golovkin had a successful career with 41 wins. He had only one draw and a loss in his entire pro career. Both came against Canelo Alvarez. These two fights against Cenalo were very close. Some analysts at online sportsbook news in Japan and many fans believe that Golovkin won at least one of them. That is crucial to keep in mind when you bet on Gennay Golovkin vs Ryota Murata.

On the other side of the ring is Murata who had a less glamorous career. He has 16 wins on his name and two losses against Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam and Rob Brant. In terms of KOs, Glovokin holds a record of 36 KO wins, while Murata has only 13. Concerning height and reach, they are somewhat similar. Murata enjoys a height advantage, while Golovkin enjoys a reach advantage. So, what about their strengths and weaknesses and their odds of winning on paper!

Golovkin’s Hay Days are Behind Him

Obviously, Golovkin has the better resume of wins and KOs over Murata. But, he is now 39 years old and will be 40 on the day of the fight. Thus, when you bet on Gennay Golovkin vs Ryota Murata remember that Golovkin’s best days are for sure behind him. This is a similar situation to Manny Pacquiao who remained impressive until his retirement. But, bear in mind that Pacquiao lost 3 of his last 8 fights after he turned 36. So, even if Golovkin is to replicate Pacquiao’s greatness he will likely struggle against Murata.

If we look at one of Golovkin’s latest fights in 2019 against Sergiy Derevyanchenko, Golovkin did not impress at all. Some fans even think he lost that fight only to win due to boxing politics. Golovkin’s other latest wins came against fighters such as Steve Rolls, a fitness instructor. He also won against Kamil Szeremeta who is no longer ranked top ten in middleweight, according to espn.

So, Golovkin looks to do good for one last time before he gets thrashed by Canelo in their trilogy fight. That fight is set to take place later this year, only if Golovkin wins and Canelo takes down Dmitry Bivol. If that does not happen, a big payday for Golovkin against Canelo will be cut off. So yes, Golovkin is the favorite against Murata with a value of 1.16 at 20Bet Sportsbook. But, it is still a risky bet.

Bet on Gennady Golovkin vs Ryota Murata: Murata was Never Stopped

To start our analysis of Murata, his odds of 4.57 for a win seem to be appealing. Murata’s record is much weaker compared to Golovkin. But, he is a tough opponent. Murata was never stopped in his career and he carries a very similar style of boxing to Golovkin. Not to mention that he was able to avenge both of his losses in immediate rematches. So, that is a plus when you bet on Gennady Golovkin vs Ryota Murata.

Murata is a pressure fighter who likes to come forward and hit hard. So, probably it will be a dog fight, which is actually a dangerous tactic against Golovkin. The only man who succeeded in that tactic was Canelo. Some commentators even argue that this is exactly why Golovkin picked Murata. But, still like John Ryder was recently able to upset Daniel Jacobs, Murata may do the very same to Golovkin.

How to Get the Best Out of Your Betting?

If you are still undecided on who to pick, that is fine. After all, it seems to be a tricky one. Neither Golovkin is expected to impress, nor Murata’s style is the best one for an upset. So, what we recommend in this case is to bet on Gennady Golovkin vs Ryota Murata live. You can do that easily at 20Bet Sportsbook. In other words you can place your bet while the fight is in play.
