    Looing forward to his comeback. That possible fight with harrison may not be too far away.

    I hope he doesn't end up like khan trying to fight a certain way that's not natural to him and looking confused as a result. Murray is a pressure fighter he just needs to apply the pressure at the correct times and learn how to cover up and spoil a bit more, he's too tough and too honest a fighter for his own good sometimes. Best of luck arnie hope you can get him firing again.

    Just out of interest, who would we see winning Harrison v Murray if the fight was to be made next for both?

    Murray won a european and british titles whilst never giving one hundred percent to his training he is a known boozer and still has the potetial to achieve somethng big in boxing if he puts his heart and soul into the game.

    if he has gone to Arnie's gym i think this is a good move for him, maybe he can sort him out from the terrible way he boxes the come forward blocking punches with your face type he has become, he needs to be a more boxer mover, with skills, not the way Joe style showed him, also he needs to keep off the booze good luck to him.

    That style only really works if you have the power to hurt and stop your opponent and at the top level Murray's power doesn't carry. That would be my reservation about him moving to LWW.

    Turned down a fight with me on the Luke Campbell bill, looking for a shot at major titles he says, good luck to him but I don't see any big fights for him anytime soon
