Thread: Martin Murray joins matchroom

Jus read a sky's ports article unsure how to post a link, my opinion he's the best middleweight in Britain apparently he's going to super middleweight

He's been added to the Liverpool card on the 26th as David price has pulled out of it , so doubt it will be 12rounds with 3wks to go and I'm unsure if an appoinent has been named yet

Why would he move up to SMW unless he can't make 160 anymore? Wouldn't fights with BJ Saunders, Eubank Jr or Lee be pretty lucrative for him?

Guess he was a big middleweight, but he's not a big puncher or that slick, don't see him doing well at 168.

Murray will just have to test the waters and see how it is at the new weight. He's got the boxing ability but will be in with bigger fighters. He's clearly moved up because it would have been a struggle to make the weight. It will be interesting to see his development through Hearn though. No doubt this will help his career.

Unlucky for Price, I wonder if they will go and pursue the European title shot route now instead?

I think Hearn has signed him as in house money fights for Callum Smith & Degale. He's a very good Middleweight but can't see him lasting at 168. Feels like cannon fodder for Callum Smith.

168 does not seem right for him.
I think he still has good options at MW so unless he absolutely can't make the weight without draining himself then he should stay there.

Murray said he's prepared to fight at 160 for the right fight. Can't see 168 suiting him either. His strength at 160 is exactly that his strength, which he'll lose.

Hearn will raise his profile and has - Froch, DeGale, the two Smith's and Fielding at 168. Throw in Groves too. Some good fights for him.

Eddie could do with putting on a British 168 supersix on sky as a non PPV tournament.

Junior and Saunders are with Warren and Box Nation.

I think Junior is contracted fight to fight. He's actually with Eubank Promotions and isn't a Warren fighter.

Which would explain why Junior is seen on channel 5 and Fat Hennesey promotions.

Personally if Murray goes in with a good supermiddle and doesn't get knocked out its a good mesuring stick for ggg v froch cos doubt that fight will happen this year anyway if it does happen
