Arthur Abraham-Martin Murray - November 21 in Germany.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Close fight, MD written all over it. Worth putting a bit of money on a draw, but MD IMO.
Judges will go with AA.

[Fenster]

Excellent fight.

Tough to get a decision against AA unless you wipe the floor with him like Froch/Ward did, but Murray doesn't have their punch/strength (and talent of course in Ward's case).

My thoughts, exactly.. Murray better keep his money in his sock because hes about to get robbed.

Martin Murray to face Jose Miguel Torres in Leeds - | Boxing News - boxing news, results, rankings, schedules since 1909

He's got this test first though

[IamInuit]

Martin should be able to scalp this guy but I keep getting flashbacks of Reid/Ottke. Murray is one of those guys that I'd want at my back if it looked like the numbers were down and it was 2 against 4. He's been staying pretty active since his brave effort against the eastern assassin and moving up in weight. On Oct 5th he will fighting his 3rd fight since. Be interesting to see if he develops a little more pop at 168. So far he's 2 for 2 in ko's. Torres is a tough cookie and only been stopped once by Lemieux so Martin could be in for a long night and its a 12 rounder.

Hate to be a cynic but you can almost predict a hack job because Murray will be all over Abraham. I think he will be just to busy for Abe and the ref will step in. I hope Hearn gets some dibs on officials if its in Germany.

Murray can pull this one off and win the title. He is much better than Smith and provided he puts on his top performance as he did against Sergio Martinez I think he can get the decision against Abrahams.

[p4pking]

Pick em fight imo. I think if it goes to the cards Murray would deserve the nod(whether he gets it is another thing), but AA can still punch and the openings should be there for him if he decides to throw more than a few shots in the last 30 seconds of every round.

[GAME]

In Germany ( because I can't see Abraham coming over here ) then Abrahams wins a decision. Murray does not carry the power to hurt Abraham so a stoppage is out the question. I think it will resemble the Murray sturm fight but Abraham carries abit more power than sturm did so will have the advantage during the exchanges

I can see why Murray wants the fight but he's best off waiting to see what happens with groves & Hearn promotes another champ in degale. They could be big domestic fights if they build them properly but sending Murray to Germany and coming back with a loss sours those big domestic clashes

I agree I think Murray wins by late stoppage or UD , Abrahams is garbage and is on borrowed time.
He didn't hurt Smith that much so he wont budge Murray who has a solid chin.

This is confirmed - Martin Murray to take on world champion Arthur Abraham on November 21 in Germany | Boxing News | Sky Sports

Same night as Crolla-Perez rematch.

Can see the the "robbery" cries already (even though it'll probably be close/could have gone either way)
