Big respect to Murdock's trainer for calling it off. Enjoyed this one, but I'd seen enough. Glad for everyone to be able to go home to their families. Mbilli is amazing; reminiscent of a young Iron Mike with those angles.

[LucieOne]

I think Mbilli is going to struggle mightily whenever he gets in with a good counterpuncher, but damn is this man fun to watch. Mbilli - Munguia would be absolutely ridiculous.

[barbs]

The sluggfest and the toughness of the 80's demonstrated in this fight, very entertaining fight

[MostlyPeacefulNinja]

Murdock is tough as hell to be able to withstand those punches 😅

[junabierovlogtv]

Oh!!man mbilli is a beast!!that angle that he throw left hook and right hand!!wow thats insane he deserved a title shot man!!BEAST MBILLI

[eduardosalipuran]

I admire the trainer of Murdock... he knows how it feels to be receiving those heavy blows... salute to you Sir...!

[quentinjones]

Mbilli gives off old school fighter vibes, that was a good win

[raysmith]

Footwork reminds me of a young Mike Tyson, stepping around then body punching, beautiful technique!

[isaganijrvelasco]

This one is a classic and and Mbilli got that classic style similar to Marvin Hagler. What a fight!

[kgotlaetsilemodieginyane]

Mbili... a fury of punches!!! The skill and strength.... he is a masterpiece !!!

[MrShahrozzz]

His punches are sooo reminiscent of Mike Tyson! 🔥 Middleweights better watch out!

[shinestar]

Mbilli is custom made for Canelo. Keeps his hands down after throwing. One- dimensional. Can't punch unless his feet are set. Murdock looks like a bulked up Chris Algieri. Monster chin and heart.

Mbilli is a warrior! I enjoyed that fight and his style of fighting, but we’ll see if he can beat an good counter puncher. Murdock is tough as nails, respect 🫡.

[omark]

Murdock got my respect. Way to go out on ya shield. Respect 🫡

[goodswim]

Christ Murdock is one tough mf, thought we was gonna see a murder in there, mbilli digs in like crazy on his punches like a less tight Tyson, man got some muscles, I hope we see him and Morrell and Benavidez all fight each other in the coming years !!

[aaronhugz]

He punched him like dude was a slave owner. lol he fought him for the ancestors with those power punches 😂😂😂

[usgalsen]

What a fight! Mbilli is someone to watch. That's why he's ranked number 4 right below Canelo, Benavidez, & Plant. I think he would beat Palnt too. He needs a good promoter who could help him get to the big fights and big purse.

[pricecontrols]

Murdock clearly has the skill but doesn't have the IQ; what a silly fight on his part; it was obvious what MBilli was doing, and it looked like Murdock was waiting for Mbilli to fatigue, using his face to block punches. hard to watch a man allow himself to be punished like that. His corner should have thrown in the towel earlier. Congrats to Mbilli.

[midomarvin]

Proper fight. What great pedigree of fighters.

[sidvicious]

There's something "Tysonish "about Mbili ! A STAR IS BORN !!! JUST tighten up on that Defense Youngster !!!
