John Murray vs Gary Buckland European Title May 7th

lol looks like Murray is headed for the top, taking on the mighty Buckland.

 

any news on the venue, hope its manchester.

 

Can only fight whats put infront of him fella.

 

Its in manchester.

 

Murray is now Ring Mag top 10 at LW :yep

 

with Valero, Funeka and Guzman leaving it leaves the division weak.

would have him top 15 not top 10.

 

Euro belt matches beggining to **** me off now what happened to the Italians French and the Spanish?

 

Seems to me that he is going round in circles, should be fighting better opposition and progressing.

 

pretty much the EBU are in financial trouble along with the commonwealth so they are just handing our the belt to whoever pays the fees

 

good fight for murray' i would say he'll fancy it , get rid of ring rust and as champ the scope for meaninfull defences opens up' good man buckland for stepping up':good be good while it lasts.

 

Interesting to read that EBU are in trouble financially. That said, come on lads, title fights have never been based entirely or sometimes remotely on merit throughout boxing history so I'm not going to get worked up about it. Buncey's Don King quote springs to mind.

If I was continental fight fan I might be pissed off though with our boys getting to square off.

Good to see Murray back and with TV deal on my birthday too, especially of the wrong lot gets in at the election the night before.

 

its now in widnes

 

First leg of the Championship play off are on the 8th.

If Cardiff get Blackpool I'll go to this.

 

Murray needs to ****ing step up. He's had nearly 30 fights now and his most meaningful win is probably a stoppage over a shot Thaxton who was coming off two bad losses. It's pathetic really. Not blaming him, he doesn't make the fights, but his career is being managed horribly. If he does get himself into a mandatory position eventually he will be in no kind of shape to actually win the fight as he won't have had any real tests. We need to start matching our fighters harder, especially when it's at least 10 fights beyond the point where you could still reasonably call them a raw prospect.

 

this lad should be fighting more regular. end of. It is no wonder sopme boxers become disillusioned with the game
