    He had some unlucky decisions, no doubt. And he was a good fighter. But when was his last good performance honestly? Been too long

    Those unhappy with Murray need to give some realistic examples of who else Saunders should face.

    Remembering that frank is going into the 02 and not the copperbox so he needs recognisable names to help drive the promotion.

    I’m hoping he confirms Degale - Truax and Yarde in with a solid name then that’s a great card which should do good numbers

    I can't wait to sit through a seven hour undercard for this fight, and they have Flanagan to come after that.

    Did Warren just think of the most boring fight he could make?

    Fact is:

    JACOBS did NOT want to go to the UK to fight BJS

    ANDRADE did NOT want to fight BJS. He said himself he isnt ready

    CHARLO won't fight anyone, he is a PBC fighter

    GGG and CANELO are fighting eachother

    Who else decent could he fight?

    I'd have liked Korobov

    Isn’t he on the undercard of one the WBSS events or have I just made that up?

    Frank is trying to upgrade himself to the 02 - who in the world other then hardcore boxing fans know who he is?

    He was a reserve, but never got a fight made. I interviewed him recently, he's keen to get out and fight a name. He is a real waste of a talent

    good "safe" fight from a management point of view. bloody awful fight for the fans. boring dreadful 12 round scuffle in store for us. Murray never had anything to trouble bjs even at his best - and he is beyond shot now.

    also - murray was never robbed. his losses were legit.

    Tend to agree. Was never robbed but he got so close.

    Really nice guy Murray too so it’s a shame he couldn’t just go that slight bit further.

    The casuals would know quite well who he is after a few rounds. He would catapult himself to the big time.

    Murray going back to 160 then - 168 was too much for him, he'll be more effective at Middle but still past his best now

    Murray has a good chin so it going to be a boring points win for Saunders is he trying to prove a point by fighting golovkin scraps
