Brandon Rios-John Murray... Borderline Mismatch? Fact.

[ElTerribleMorales]

This was a very good fight and Murray did himself proud stood toe to toe with a exceptional fighter. I had Murray winning early. Rios is very very good.

i had Murray trailing only by 3 points at the time of the stoppage

I thought the fight was much more competitive than the HBO crew made it out to be. Rios was better at the same style as Murray. More snap on the shots. In addition, Rios is blessed with a face that doesn't seem to swell up. He can take shots and he'll get marked but he doesn't get big swelling and bruising. Murray isn't. His face had alot of swelling.

Where does Murray go from here? He lost to Mitchell. He fought the top 135 pounder in the world very hard. After a long break, I would think a couple of easy fights would be in order.

Rios's weight made it a more of a mismatch in the end. Murray's face was so mashed i thought maybe Rios had dipped his wraps. I think if Rios moves up he gets found out big style. Murray is too stubborn and brave for his own good but will come again when he is not forced to fight a welterweight. Rios is such a schmuck, very dirty with lots of forearms and elbows and will get sparked by anyone with decent power up at 140 or 147.

I agree completely. It was a flat showing by Rios in my opinion. He looked so much better against Antillon.

These guys must be huge for their weight, must starve themselves to make weight and then after the weigh in eat up and beat the little opponent afterwards. I thought Rios looked great.

I have never seen Rios before this fight. He is an exciting fighter but would lose to top opponents in the devisions. Easy win for Marquez and gurrearo (apologies for the spelling). If he moves up I see Bradley, Khan, Alexander and Maidana beating him. He is just like Murray. Hard fighter but loves to get punched in the face.

It was worth £10 bet how much would you have won if Murray did pull it off?
