    Good fight, but Buckland only won a few rounds. Too one sided for FOTY.

    I still feel Sykes vs Morris and Vassell vs Purdy were better, but it was certainly a good fight :good

    I agree...why the **** did Buckland fight like that, hes a decent boxer with fast hands, not someone who can win by sitting in the pocket all night as he doesn't have the power. I think that when Murray eventually decides to face someone with a bit of snap and meat behind their shots he'll be in trouble.

    i didn't enjoy that fight because it was too one sided. Buckland can take punishment and is a warrior but he had nothing to trouble Murray with!

    I agree with this asessment.

    Murray will not progress further his defence his leacky he is a pressure fighter but his shots arent that concussive when he meets a decent boxer he gets outboxed, when he meets a decent brawler he gets stopped.

    Spot on. Murray takes way too much to land a few.... Not too dissimiliar from his mate Hatton

    John's style is a good deal more pleasing than Ricky's. I'm certainly not holding my breath for him to go as far, but I'll make sure to always tune in for him. :good

    Fair enough. Not slagging the man off or owt just saying that that one HUGE ***** in his armour will stop him from going places on higher levels :good

    Aye, too many hard and precise punchers at and near 135. His best chance with a world level opponent would probably be the Baby Bull. What a war!

    He was reminding me a bit of Jamie Moore in there but with less power.

    Needs to find something else to step up from there imo
