Brandon Rios-John Murray in the works for Margarito-Cotto

[FinitoElDinamita]

Rios by early or mid KO?

Why would Murray get the fight coming off a loss?

[boxingbantz]

Gonna be on the Cotto/Margarito undercard.

Kevin Mitchell beats him yet Murray lands a world title shot on the biggest card of the year? Go figure...

Then again, it'll be like putting a lamb to the slaughter. Rios will bulldoze through him.

Mitchell, I can only assume, has been promised the winner of Burns vs Katsidis. Frank Warren obviously feels he can risk John Murray.

If the plan is to resurrect Murray's career this move is an 'interesting' decision.

He got battered by Kevin Mitchell, I can't for the life of me work out how his team think this is a good idea for a comeback fight.

I can only presume he's planning on retiring in the next six months and wanted to finish it off with a trip to the US and a semi decent payday.

If you get a shot at a world title you gota take it. But I agree could hardly be against a worse opponent for Murray or at a worse time for Murray. It'll be a fun undercard fight while it lasts, just like the Antillon fight, but it ends much the same; Murray asleep inside 3.

I think Rios could take Mitchell, Murray and Molina on the same night

Naw. he cant fuck up molina too on the same night. Molina is a big lw himself and he can take a punch . He can crack as well and he aint no punk. Thats why arum is reluctant to let rios fight him.

Rios will brutally stop Murray

i like your post

i hope Murrays new trainer will try something a little different with him tho, you are right fighting the way he has for the last 10 years he probably will get stopped early

he's better than that tho, i just think joe gallagher knows nothing else

[FinitoElDinamita]

GOod news.. Rocky MArtinez declined the Rios fight so he's outa the picture and we dont have to see that bum fight.

Murray is a tough man and will give his all. This is a big opportunity for him which he probably would not have expected. He will be fully motivated to get the win and show everyone how good he really is. Go Murray, it would be great if he can pull this off!

[boxingbantz]

Accoring to Brandon Rios, he was meant to be fighting Kevin Mitchell but Mitchell can't travel because of his ongoing 'legal issues' which makes sense actually.

Murray has not got a chance. He has the british record for most fights undefeated, but when you build your career on fighting nobodies that isnt that difficult. The only thing he has on his side is his fitness and the ability to take a punch which may not be as good after the beating he got in the Mitchell fight.
On the upside I will say good for him, taking on a challenge. It may have taken 30 fights to take on good oposition but he got there in the end.

Brandon Rios will knock him out within three rounds. No doubt in my mind whatsoever.
