Link?

Catchweight?

[walrus]

I would love to see Murray win but after the Sergio debacle I think Chavez is ready to change his attitude
About training and get serious. I will be looking forward to it.

Is Murray jumping up to lt hvy

[Violent Demise]

Chavez has challenged Murray to come to Mexico City for a career high payday. Up to Murray if he wants the fight. He'll be a fool to pass it up. He won't win. But no other fight would pay him more

Isn't Chavez Jr. fighting Brian Vera first on HBO?

[Rantcatrat]

Murray is a better fight than Vera, especially if Junior makes him go to 165. Vera is not even a legit middleweight. This is a good fight for Murray because due to his criminal record he can't fight in the U.S.

I'm still very curious how long Junior remains at 160. I wonder if he ever makes 160 again.

What kinda dirt has Murray done.. Was he a gangster?

Don't knock Vera or dismiss him so easily. He's defeated two former world champions recently and is on a bit of a roll. I wouldn't give him much of a chance against Chavez, but it would be an action packed for while it lasted. Vera deserves the opportunity and payday.

I posted a thread ages ago about Murray not being allowed to come to the US for a fight. How's he going to get around that this time? Fight in Mexico? I don't understand how it would be able to happen.

I think you have to have a criminal record to travel to Mexico so Murray will be fine.

I think Murray has done jailtime twice if I remember right, for filling in a doorman on one occasion and the other I'm not sure.. He spoke about it in an interview when he lost out on the chance to fight for a title last year.

[beenKOed]

If Chavez beats Murray decisively, maybe Chavez figures it gives him another chance with Martinez. Chavez has probably been simmering about that fight all this time.
Chavez--and maybe Suliaman--could be giving the USA the finger by inviting Murray to fight in Mexico. Believe it or not there are a lot of people out there that just don't care for the USA. Unbelievable, right? LOL

[Fenster]

Excellent match-up. On form Murray should start favourite. Yeah he'll probably get robbed in Mexico but it's a good fight, so who cares. Robberies happen every week in boxing.
