John Murray may have lost his British lightweight title on the scales on Friday but the 24 year old Manchester phenom had everything go his way enroute to stopping opponent Scott Lawton last night at Robin Park Arena in Wigan, England.

Murray came out of the gates on fire and was bent on knocking out his more experienced foe. The former British champ strafed Lawton upstairs and down until the man from Stoke was canvassed near the end of the first frame.

Lawton beat the count but the round ended before Murray could uncoil his follow-up assault.

The Mancunian started the second looking to bust up Lawton but the challenger had begun to get the timing of Murray and managed to negate much of what was hurled his way and managed some offense as well. More...
