    I don't know how Warren can find such a steady stream of ****. They look good on paper and are usually a French or Spanish champ or some **** but they often can't fight a lick, might be too small and most importantly don't come to fight.

    My main issue in boxing is you don't feel like it is mano o mano. If this guy comes in shape and comes to fight then anything can happen when two men duke it out. However, a journeyman in boxing, doesn't seem to have the same desire as a journeyman in MMA. Maybe it is because there are no bonuses, assured bigger opportunities etc

    Murray is fighting mitchell on may 21st, this is just a tune up, still a kak opponent and shouldnt headline the show imo.

    Who the hell is this?

    As I said, Murray's a joke.
     
  5. It's a ****ing tune up before he fights Mitchell.

    Not everyone gets title shots on a plate like Khan.

    Tune-up? He's had enough of them in his shitty career.

    It's true though, it's not like he's coming off a big hard fight from a world ranked fighter for his home coming is it?? what tune up could he possibly need? what will he learn from beating these supposed durable but cant fight for ****, euro fighters??? how would that in any way get him in tune for Mitchell??

    :think Karim's one loss is to Daniel Rasilla, who I've seen twice (losing to Paul McCloskey on the Sexton-Rogan II undercard, and to Ville Pispainen on the Froch-Abraham undercard). Rasilla was knocked down in the 3rd and came back to stop Karim in the 4th.

    Rasilla is...not very skilled. He is tough and determined, though. He never stopped trying against McCloskey or Pispainen despite getting tooled.

    To be stopped by him, with his extremely wild style...yeah, Karim can't be very good. That early KD is food for thought, though. McCloskey didn't manage to get Rasilla down until the 9th...and Andy Murray didn't do it once over 12 rounds, for what it's worth.

    Based on that, and this one video... (which seems to be all that there is)

    We can say "El Diablo" has (maybe?) a small puncher's chance despite his KO ratio...but in all honestly this should be a bloody and effortless triumph for John.

    Awful opponent. He should feed the a Eurobum to Mitchell on the same card if he wants to build the fight. Mitchell is more in need of a tune up after all.

    No it's because boxing is more refined and focused than mma

    A top boxer has less weaknesses in his art than a top mma guy
