    I assumed Abraham would have a softer defence rather than risk a big money Hopkins fight next year

    Really fancy Murray; Abraham is painfully overrated. If you can't knock Paul Smith in 24 rounds over it shows just how his power is non-existant at 168.

    Really, I don't see many people rating him all that highly...

    Two limited fighters in some ways pretty similar,although Abraham obviously hits harder.
    I'll take Abraham in a close decision although being in Germany it will appear wider on the cards.

    I think that Martin will finally be crowned champion this time, it was shown when Chudinov went to Germany and beat Sturm that thing just might be changing with regards to judging in germany. Imo Martin sticks to his gameplan well and will do a similar boxing job on him as Carl Froch did by boxing his way and not getting involved in a war.

    Martin Murray win UD Points

    Martin sticks well to a gameplan. Even in the later rounds of the GGG fight he was calm and didn't loose control of his boxing (and I'm sure that was hard with GGG hitting you with those shots).

    I think Martin has this with his reach and fitness. Stay on the outside and stick to the basics, which is does very well. :bbb

    Murray needs to start setting his shots up better if he is to beat Abraham.

    That's what he means. It's painful to rate Abraham.

    Murray is very good but againts Torres he was just stepping in range without moving his head or sending any smoke signals.

    Maybe that's because he thought Torres couldn't hurt him,hopefully againts King Arthur he will set his work up

    Tamwar Tibbs lemme guess your a personal friend of Martin Murray aren't you.. And You've been in the gym with Abraham I bet... and Torres is some fraggle from Leamington Spa that got beat up by a 16 year old girl and stil lives with his grandparents

    You are one lying oddball fruitcake you

    I'm confident Murray will be the better fighter on the night but can he get a decision in Germany against one of Kalle's fighters? I'm not so sure.
