    Moving to super middle, hopefully some cracking domestic fights ahead. Would like to see Groves v Murray

    Good signing, would have liked to see him stay at Middleweight as I thought he was world class at the weight and it was only a matter of time before he won a title. I think he will struggle to pick up a belt at Super Middleweight because he loses his advantages at the weight plus I feel there are weaker champions at Middleweight.

    I'd imagine he's going to be lined up as a match-up for Degale.

    Can't see him beating Degale & Groves but will be a tough opponent for anyone still. He could have won a belt at middle though

    Murrays major advantage at 160 was his size.

    His major disadvantage was his lack of KO power.

    I'm not sure the move up makes sense ?

    I'm a fan of Martins, but surely he'll be giving away any edge he had at 160 ?

    I really like Murray,

    I hope he earns some good money with Hearn and hopefully he can fulfil his ambitions.

    I just can't see him winning a world title at SMW, it's a tough division, some real big, strong SMW's, I can't see him being as effective at that weight.

    Was never getting a look in at mw, no one was interested after he went as long as he did with GGG, which is like lasting the longest on the bucking bronco & all other mw would of looked at it & thought well there's not much hope for me.

    Is it confirmed that he's moving up? As him & BJS Were talking of the fight just the other day?

    Degale versus murray would stylistically be great I can see Murray outpointing him in a close fight

    Good move for both lots of fights out there for him,more exposure for him on SKY.

    Murray will fight anyone and because of that a good move for Matchroom also.

    Pity he never faced Macklin as there was genuine needle there.
