    Anyone know anything of this lad?

    I caught the very last bit of his fight on channel M the other night, he looked alright.

    I hear he's on prizefighter as well.

    What does everyone think he'll do now?

    He looked alright but he was getting caught at times and looked open but showed decent skills and he didn't seem to like Butler smothering him.

    How far you all reckon he'll go?

    i don't think the prizefighter format is a great indication of how he'll do. prizefighter allows the less skilled fighters with high workrate to overwhelm an opponent.

    over 8 or 10 rounds murray would comfortably beat renda and butler imo.

    Totally agree.

    Murray likes having some time, and some space. With those, he will do very well. You can tell the guy doesnt like rushing like he had to in the Renda fight.

    Future British champ without doubt, very good fighter to watch, seems to do everything well. A good package, nice compact pressure fighter with boxig skills.
