mitchell v murray

[erics44]

I agree, hence why I said as long as it lasts

Plus, we would get weeks of eric telling us that Rios couldn't handle being in there with someone as tough as Murray

John Murray got found out in his last fight. Funny how one fight can alter your perception of a fighter. He is nowhere near world class level. That much is now obvious.

TBH, I've been saying that for years. I think people thought could be another Hatton, someone who has tough fights at domestic level who finally comes good, but I just can't see it, I don't think he's got anywhere near the skill or talent that Hatton had.

murray had an off night in his last fight

hatton had off nights, struggled against thaxton, murray blew thaxton away

noone believes murray will have the same success as hatton or has the same tallent

he is a good fighter tho with lots of assests

mitchell is a tough opponent for him, i think its a close fight but i think murray will come through it

Jon Thaxton was also 9 years older and bar a great KO against Melero hadn't looked up to much in quite some time.

I don't think Murray has lots of assets. He's got a decent chin, is tough & has good stamina. Good body puncher. Average speed, power, pretty poor footwork. I just don't see how handles himself against the likes of Guerrero or Rios.

you could look at the thaxton situation a different way

he was in the form of his career, had not long since won his first britsih title, then the european and in the first defence was robbed in my opinion, won the fight by 2 or 3 rounds

yes lost to a very good yuri romanov (spelling) and murray, he also looked much better at lightweight than light welter

murray does have good assets, perhaps not at the very top which is where i would put Guerrero but he is a quality fighter with every chance of winning a world title

I think Mitchell would have beaten Murray before Katsidis. If he's recovered from that fight, which i doubt, then i'd definitely pick him to beat Murray. Mitchell can move and box as well as fight.

No way Murray hits as hard as Katsidis. No way Mitchell will be under the same amount of mental pressure (Murray will be favourite). But has he recovered from Katsidis

Given the amount of white powder he's apparently shoved up his nose since he's probably forgotten about it

For my money, if the Mitchell who showed up for the Prescott fight is in the ring, Mitchell will win, but if the knob I paid £35 to go see at Upton Park turns up than Murray marches on towards getting beaten up by someone at world level.

The frightening thing is it sounds like Warren is trying to line this up for Sky Box Office!! This is the kind of fight that should be live on ITV to get the general public buzzing about boxing again!

True, that is Warren for you.

Also first time I have seen Barry Hearns son, and he looks and sounds a lot by his dad.

give that man a round of applause

the sort of sense that often gets spoken on boxing forums but rarely gets put into place by the tv execs nowadays

This ppv bullshit is beginning to piss me off. I've said it before but they are putting PPVs on Sky nowadays willy nilly. I remember when it was only THE fights that got shown on PPV. Lewis-Tyson, Hatton-Mayweather etc. Now they putting any old shite on. Really beginning to piss me off. Murray vs Mitchell is NOT a ppv event.

ITV gave up on boxing. Remember Froch-Pascal, a great fight, was live on ITV1.

It costs so many thousands to produce a live boxing event. It costs nothing to show repeats of the Sweeney. Unfortunately old 70s/80s repeats get more viewers.
