Even at his best Murray doesn't have enough to beat Saunders. He's one tough lad is Martin but too basic and with no enough spite in his punches at world level. That said who knows with Billy. If he turns up in the condition he did for Eubank and Murray is the mood for one last swan song then it could find it difficult - id expect a BJS clear UD but its a dull fight on paper. A guy who wasted the time after a career best win and a guy who probably should have gotten the nod for a world title somewhere along the way but is now well past it.
I reckon Murray will be bang up for this one. It’s more than likely his last fight, and he knows it. I should imagine he’d like to go out in a blaze. Some rough house tactics coming BJS way.
BJS saying he’s going to send Murray into retirement...he already was, he’s just fought a couple of knock over jobs at the Olympia in Liverpool for a bit of fun. It’s one thing fighting past their prime fighters like Junior does but it’s another dragging them out of retirement like Saunders is doing here.
Always thought a bit of a nasty streak was what Martin was missing but I expect him to give it everything but just wonder if there is anything left in the tank
In truth, Saunders is throwing Murray a bit of a bone here. Martin's big fight days are really a memory but he's getting a last go around. I hope I'm wrong as I have always really liked Martin but he's at that point when a Fighter can just fall apart over night.
That's exactly what Saunders is doing. I like both fighters but this fight does absolutely nothing for me. Some very easy money to be made if you're a gambling man so it's not all bad.
So does he. Thats why its made. I'd love to see Murray pull it off, saunders for all his talent just strikes me as a knob every time I see him. He has more highlights on Instagram than in a boxing ring
Could not disagree more here. BJS cancelled on Martin at short notice twice when with Frank Warren. Totally screwed him over.
