Gennady "Triple G" Golovkin vs. Martin Murray Twitter Recap

Triple G bludgeons Martin Murray through Eleven
Extends KO streak to 19
By Alex Pierpaoli


As is our tradition here, if we live-tweeted an event we like to post a recap afterwards for any of you anti social-media types. So here is a chronological recounting of our live-tweets from the recliner watching LIVE on HBO, made slightly more grammatical and a little bit less hashtaggie.

don't forget @TalkinBoxing's #GGGMurray post fight show six minutes after the fight ends over at http://www.BillyCBoxing.com 

Golovkin looks a lot smaller than Murray, perhaps not quite as aggressive here than in recent fights... GGG landing heavily in final minute

Please Luis Pabon, don't fuck this up... #GGGMurray

Good second round for Murray, he swats Golovkin on his way in and ties him up in close #BusterDouglasish

Murray's jab-right-left-hook-to-the-body has landed well several times
