Hassan N’Dam-Ryota Murata Rematch Lands on ESPN

[Ruthless-RKO]

The world title rematch between World Boxing Association (WBA) middleweight champion Hassan N’Dam (36-2, 21 KOs), of France, and No. 1 contender Ryota Murata (12-1, 9 KOs), of Japan, will be televised live to the U.S. from Tokyo, on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, Sunday, October 22, at 7:00 a.m. ET.

In their previous battle, which took place on May 20, also in Tokyo, N’Dam claimed the vacant world title via a controversial split decision despite getting knocked down in the fourth round and being out-boxed throughout the fight. The decision was considered questionable, leading the WBA to suspend the two judges -- Gustavo Padilla of Panama and Canada’s Hubert Earle, who handed in the scorecards – for six months. The WBA also ordered an immediate rematch.

I think they should. They both World title fights..

Murata thoroughly outboxed N'Dam. That was one of the worst robberies ever. Also, the fight was pretty boring. I can only hope they really bring it in the rematch.

I like the PTBF implications.
