Looks like it. Rossy isn't terrible though, definitely a quality journeyman. He did have Rossy shaken up a few times just couldn't really follow through and always came out flat the round right after.
It wasn't a bad fight for a random CBS Sports card.

Who's pumped for some GGG? Predictions? I think he'll KO Murray with a body shot, mid rounds. That high guard of Murray's will leave him open downstairs.
Murray Warns Golovkin: This is Going To Be a War!

Monte-Carlo, New York, Johannesburg -- Any doubts about Martin Murray’s mental state ahead of this weekend’s middleweight championship fight against Gennady Golovkin, boxing’s biggest puncher, can be laid to rest.
“This is going to be a war and I’m willing to do anything it takes,” the WBC number one contender has told promoter Rodney Berman.
The pair square off for Golovkin’s WBA Super World middleweight, interim WBC World middleweight and IBO middleweight titles at the Salle des Étoiles concert hall in Monte-Carlo on Saturday.
Berman is one of a number of boxing figureheads who believe that, like with Mike Tyson before, Golovkin’s opponents are out-psyched by his reputation long before they start trading punches. With 18 consecutive knockouts to his name, Golovkin is statistically the biggest puncher among boxing’s world champions.
“After I carry you on my shoulders, will you come visit me in hospital with my broken back?” Berman asked Murray.
The South African promoter says Murray has exhibited none of the anxiety so many of Golovkin’s other challengers have.
Murray’s response was straight out of Merseyside: “Might even be in the bed at the side of you because this is going to be a war and I’m willing to do anything it takes to become world champion.”
Berman, meanwhile, is attempting to push Friday’s weigh-in out to midday to accommodate the Murray “Barmy Army”. Murray’s family is also on a flight that is due to arrive in France around 11am and have chartered helicopters from Nice to Monaco to get to the weigh-in venue as fast as possible.
Golovkin’s camp has kindly agreed to the extension, although the Casino de Monte-Carlo, venue of the weigh-in, needs to be cleared out by 2pm, which requires a tight turnaround.
“It’s a good problem to have,” said Berman, who arrived in Monte-Carlo on Monday morning. “There’s already a great sense of excitement five days out. The boxers and their camps are streaming in, as is the press corps and boxing officials. We’re in for a massive weekend.”

TKO by the 7th, body shot followed by a hook is my prediction. Either way GGG is going to have his way with him, he really needs some serious comp. not that he's not getting any (fighting former champs and ranked opponents) but he NEEDS big names on his resume to be considered a "true champ" #BRINGONCANELO

Murray is Ready: I Want To Rip Golovkin's Head Off!

LONDON - Two-time world title challenger Martin Murray has been away from his family for the last five weeks in the hope that such sacrifices will help land him the WBA Super world middleweight title on Saturday night (February 21) in Monte Carlo, LIVE on Channel 5.
The proud St. Helens warrior faces fearsome champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin in a matter of days and knows he's left no stone unturned in training camp.
“Being away from my family has absolutely killed me,” said Murray, father to Archie, Amelia and Aisla. “I've been away from them now for over five weeks and it's been really hard.
“I can look back now and think, well, at least it's nearly done, but, at the time, it was hell. I was lonely, I was down. But it needed to be done. I've got no regrets whatsoever. If I had to go back and do it all again, I would. It's been tough but worthwhile.
“I'm heavily involved in my kids' lives and I know I've been missing a lot of things. I'm a very hands-on dad, so every day I spend away from them eats me up inside. But I can make up for it on Monday when I see them and bring home the world title.”
Though days from fight night, Murray, 29-1-1 (12 KOs), feels no ill will towards Golovkin, nor does he expect to experience any animosity at today's fight week press conference. But that doesn't meant he won't be doing everything in his power to dethrone the champion on Saturday.
“When we have our press conference, I'll be professional and courteous,” he said. “But, come fight night, that's not going to stop me wanting to rip his head off. He'll be the same way. We'll shake hands and be perfectly nice to each other, but that goes out of the window on Saturday. He wants to take something from me and I want to hurt him.
“Some of Golovkin's opponents might give him too much respect, and they might be all smiles and handshakes at the press conference, but that's just stupid. They obviously didn't grow up where I grew up. I respect his ability as a fighter, and I'm sure he's a nice guy, but this is a fight and I can be just as nasty as anybody when I have to be.”
Murray has done the bulk of his training in South Africa, running at altitude and pushing his body to its limit, and the experience, he believes, has sufficiently prepared his mind for the sternest test of his seven-year professional career.
“I went over with a great bunch of lads and that made it easier for me,” he said. “I spent quite a lot of time in my room on my own, though. I wouldn't say I was moody or horrible to be around, but I was focused and serious a lot of the time.
“Being away just made me focus that bit more and gave me more of a drive. I was away from home, away from my family and it was all for the right reasons.”
Such was the level of Murray's focus, he even attached a picture of Golovkin, Saturday's opponent, to a heavy bag in his gymnasium. It acted as a daily reminder.
“That picture was put on the heavy bag on day one and it was still there when I left on Friday,” said the 32-year-old. “It wasn't done for publicity. It's something we've always done. No matter who I've fought, there has always been a picture of them on a bag or on the wall. It's just good to have their face in the gym. It makes you constantly aware of what is to come. To be honest, I'm sick of the sight of Golovkin now. I've seen him every single day.
“Saying that, though, it's been extremely easy to switch off when I've needed to. In fact, I've never slept better during a training camp. I don't know whether that's because I've trained harder than ever or what, but sleep has been really easy this camp.
“I've thought about Golovkin, but only when I've needed to think about him. For example, I'd think about him on my way to training and while in the gym. Aside from that, though, I've put him to the back of my mind. I pick and choose when I need to focus on him.
“On Saturday night he'll be the only thing on my mind.”

Golovkin can only fight the guys willing to fight him, be patient. Keep fighting the highest ranked opponents available like Murray and the big names will eventually come. Assuming he beats Murray, his next opponent for April/May/June might be a step back just because everyone else has fights lined up. Quillin, Lee, Lemieux, N'dam, Canelo and Cotto supposedly is going to announce his opponent soon. That pretty much leaves guys like Tureano Johnson, someone like that. I just hope it's not Sergio Mora lol fuck the Latin Fake. I don't think GGG will get a big fight till the end of the year. Hopefully Canelo (seriously doubt Cotto takes it).

Mora would give ggg problems, I wanna see that fight. Someone with real boxing skills, ggg opponents are handpicked straight up imo. Fight lara shit lol he called ggg out with no answer

Handpicked? Really? You realize he tried to fight Felix Sturm, N'dam, Cotto, Canelo, Chavez, Sergio Martinez & Peter Quillin right? How can his opponents be handpicked if all these guys have turned him down? Ridiculous statement.
Lara isn't ranked at 160 and he can't fight on HBO. And they did "answer" Lara:
Tom Loeffler
‏@TomLoeffler1
GGG response to Lara: Are you Serious? #GBK @stevemaxboxing @BloodstainLane @BernieBahrmasel @gggboxing
There was never an offer from Lara, it was a name drop. He can't fight on HBO (HBO already said they wouldn't not approve him for GGG), Al Haymon knows that, it was all bark no bite.

all bark no bite is ggg fighting bums, he aint the end of the tunnel for no fighters. fight a boxer with some skills is all I say, not impressed

Did you not read what I just wrote? Felix Sturm, N'dam, Cotto, Canelo, Chavez, Sergio Martinez & Peter Quillin all turned him down. What is he supposed to do? He's fighting Murray, who should be the lineal champ right now if he got the correct decision in Argentina against Martinez. He can only fight the guys willing to fight him.
Here are The Ring's MW ratings:
Champ - Cotto (turned GGG down).
1. GGG
2. Quillin (turned him down before, now with Haymon, can't fight on HBO)
3. Sergio Martinez (turned him down, may retire)
4. Daniel Geale (KO'd by GGG)
5. N'dam (turned down TWO purse bids when he was ordered to fight GGG, fighting David Lemieux next)
6. Martin Murray
7. Andy Lee (fighting Quillin)
8. Jermain Taylor (career over, shot anyways)
9. Billy Joe Saunders (fighting Lee/Quillin winner)
10. Daniel Jacobs (Haymon, no HBO)
So that leaves:
David Lemieux (fighting N'dam next)
Curtis Stevens (KO'd by GGG)
Rubio (KO'd by GGG)
Tureano Johnson
Sergio Mora
Willie Monroe (says he wants 2-3 more fights, watch cool video here)
Felix Sturm (moved up to 168, already turned down GGG for two years anyway)
Chris Eubank Jr.
As you can see, Martin Murray was the best available option. As for his next fight, not many options either. Slight chance of David Lemieux/N'dam winner, if not then the options are probably Tureano Johnson & Sergio Mora.
Until a big name grows a pair, all he can do is fight who's available to him.

ggg was willing to move up to 168 for chavez but no one else, ima leave it at that.

He was willing to fight Froch & Kessler as well but those were rejected. If you're suggesting he should fight Ward, three things come to mind: a). Ward has never requested a fight with GGG (no contracts or verbal discussions have ever once been brought to the attention of team GGG), b). if you're saying the only way Golovkin will get credit is to move up a weight class and fight/beat the #2 best fighter in the planet, what does that say about Golovkin? lol that's pretty unfair & extremely high demand to put on any fighter, let alone Gennady, and c). Ward has not fought for over a year, has no fights lined up and is planning on 1 or 2 tune-ups for whenever he does return, so even if Team GGG wanted to fight Ward immediately it couldn't happen right now anyways.
So again, who should Golovkin have fought that he hasn't already?
