Murray vs Thaxton, what is the point

[TheMacMagician]

I think we have another Michael Jennings with Murray. He is happy keeping his undefeated record fighting loosers. It is fine till you have to fight someone good and are made to look stupid. Thaxton who has no technique, just power in the first few rounds till he gets tired and does not have the brains to even contemplate adapting to his opponent.
Murray is ranked 11 in the lightweight devision should be given a challenge after 27 fights. I would like to see him fight someone in the top ten but I dont think he has any desire to challenge himself.

I'm a big Murray fan, there's nothing better than a guy who genuinely loves to fight....... From my point of view, Murray is not well known enough to get bigger fights but he sure as hell will fight anyone who they put in there no doubt. Thaxton is the last remaining test at domestic level for Murray, seen as Kahn ran, just unfortunately not as much of a test as he would have been a couple of years ago. If Thaxton still had the European title, they would be fighting for that aswell as the Lonsdale belt and then Murray would be ready for anyone. It is a shame that Thaxton isn't quite what he was but it should be a cracker of a fight.... I'm gonna be there and can't wait.

I say Murray does struggle against a fast counter puncher as he loves to come straight in, but on the other hand, if Murray is matched well, I believe he could really provide some fantastic, in a phone booth wars against the likes of Katsidis, Diaz and even Valero. I'd also like to see him beat up Alex Arthur, thats a war right there, and more to that I'd also loved to have seen him go at it with Nate Campbell through 12 rounds....
