Buena derecha y destacable su jab por su largura en brazos.
Muy mala defenza.
Mucho por mejorar
Saludos
Hmmm, Murata didnt show enough boxing skill.
Will have to have to wait and see
I encourage you to go see Lafreniere vs St-Juste man. Poor records, but early candidate for fight of the year the commentators agreed on. :)
Murata looked supremely confident coming in; and so he should have judging his opponents ranking. He ( Murata) is well proportioned fpr a boxer with long arms and the weight in the upper half of his body. I would like to see him fighting better opposition
