I know that there is the added bonus if he wins he could face Khan but If he takes this fight I would take my hat off to him.
Well it is about time he stepped up, he's had almost 30 fights and he's 25. So if he can't beat Victor Ortiz now, he never will. John Murray is a very basic come forward fighter. But he may cause some suprises but i doubt it.
At 140 though? Do you think mate, I suppose financially it would be a good move as he is not making much fighting in greater manchester school gyms at the moment , looking at it again maybe he will take it as he could loose and go back to 135 but maybe he will loose all his rankings at the same time.

It will also depend on tomorrows fight if he is in a war which is not out of the question might be to soon for him but going by the odds Murray is 1/33 on looks like a easy job on paper.
