Martin Murray-Gabe Rosado/Fielding-Ryder - Sky Sports 22 April.

[Fenster]

Not sure what this fight means (apart from boosting the winner towards another title shot) but Hearn, going way over the top (or maybe not), called it a possible best fight ever. Now Rosado is a Gatti-ish fighter, however, he's not as good, doesn't possess an equalizer and never wins a big fight.

Murray has never been a tear-up merchant, he's a hard-as-nails, fundamentally solid fighter that knows how to look after himself. Unfortunately he doesn't possess any fireworks, so like Rosado loses all the big, big ones (unlucky against Serg/Felix). Murray is back down to middle after feeling a million times stronger at supermiddle... until Groves duffed him up.

Anyway - good matchup that will be full of claret, busted boats and ooohhs and ahhhs.

Good undercard fight too for the British title. Ryder was impressive - for this level - against Etches, winning easily (unless you was listening to Richie Woodhall, who must have been half-cut).

Rosado is a tough kid and will fight anyone. This could be quite exciting if both guys go at it.

Murray will be stronger at the weight but will he be better? GGG gave him a beating as did Groves. Murray is hard as nails but can he get back to world class and all roads lead to GGG.

There are still a few domestic and fringe level fights I'd like to see Murray involved in.
