well done murray ,brawn won over brain,murrays fittness was very good,mcallisters was terrible,he was tired after 4 rounds,if he was realy fit he would have boxed the head off murray but after 4 rounds you could see mcallister was tired and so could murray,if mcallister put as much effort into training than talking he might have won this fight,he also couldnt shut up at the after fight interview,and in todays daily record he blames the ref for stopping him to early,he looked releived the fight was stopped,in another 2 or 3 rounds he would have been ko d ,standing in the corners taking punches to the head was tieredness not bravado
Effective little fighter Murray. Would like to see a bit more head movement from him but yeah, good. Every chance of beating Khan in a similar sort of fashion, if he can take the flurries and the power shots OR avoid them. He plods about a bit but bloody hell if he catches up with you...........
LOL Murray is too easy to hit, no headmovement, no jab, Slow footwork and hand speed. Does have a bit of a bang as he gears up shots when he is close, Khan would run rings around him. Khan would jab Murray's head off. If Mcallister had a better game plan and better fitness he would of beaten Murray. Plus the ref on sat night let Murray get away with so much is a joke.
The question is if Khan beats MAB, who will he fight next? can't see him fighting bums after that. Khan's KD's have been been helped with poor defence and no headmovement and rushing in, i am not saying he has a great chin but improving in these areas is the only way Khan is going to make it at world stage. Roach is a World class trainer and iam sure will improve Khan's poor defence, and transfering weight from Khan's top to his skinny legs was a good move it may help him staying on his feet. I feel Khan should move up to LWW it will help his chin, due to having a fuller body and not feeling drained at LW.
Looking at WBO rankings MAB is ranked 1, Khan at 9, so if Khan beats MAB is will be Ranked No.1 in line to have a shot at Nate Campbell's WBO title. Well if his chin is as bad as people think, he will soon be found out, and will be the end of Khan.
Murraybeats all them with the possible exception of Prescott but hed certainly last longer than Khan did!
Murray has 26 fights so far his best fights are McAllister and Meager both of whom are no more than level fighters. And hes already got two gifts against journeymen. I cannot believe people are calling for Murray-Khan when we have Barrera-Khan. Barrera went 12 rounds of very competitive fight against Pacman P4P #1 fighter only 12 months ago. Any version of Barrera is better than Murray will ever be. I feel Barrera is too soo for Khan especially after being annihilated in under a mintue only 5 months ago. Campbell beat the best lightweight in Baby Bull Diaz who was considered virtually unstoppable. If and thats a big IF Khan gets past Barrera he shouldnt bother with Murray for now.
Murray is a ****** fighter, move's back and forward in straight lines, and struggles at the finer things in life. Not much talent, just abit of toughness. Mixed in with basic skills, some hard work and dedication........ He's got a punching chance, that's about it. Glass Khan cut..
murrays looked good because of the style of fighters hes fought, against meager and mcalister he was the bigger and stonger man both guys elected to stand and trade with murray,neither of them had any power to trouble murray and both of them were nothing more then domestic level who hadnt seen any sucess beyond the domestic scene, whenever mclister got his jab going murray seemed troubled, theres not many fighters who would have left themselves open as mcalister did, when murray was closing the distance mcalister just stood and made a scrap out of it rather then tie up and use the ring to stay out of harms way the kids a good fighter and i'd give him a better chance of beating thaxton then khan, but a more elusive boxers will give him a thorough schooling
