mitchell v murray

[rjj tszyu]

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!

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

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.

Apparently John Murray has relinquished the EBU title prior to Gavin Rees purse bid.

He was never going to fight Gavin Rees anyway.

I thought the Super Six fights were on ITV4?

They've all been on Primetime. ITV showed FRoch-Taylor delayed the next night. That's his last ITV fight.

Wasn't Khan v Paulie the last one?
