    well done to martin murray, thought he fought ok but could maybe do a bit less weights to try and loosen up a bit?

    agreed. he should really stop that type of opponent if he wants a career at higher level, He be better of perfecting his punch technique and not smothering his work.

    It must not be easy for him at the weight...:yep

    I thought he would put his man away early tonight...:yep

    Some good rounds in the bank, another W, a Title, not a bad night at the office overall...:yep

    ive seen this dude in person and how he makes 160 is just well hes huge, think he needs to cut down on the weights or go up to 168, not in barkers or macklins class, not by a long way

    I would agree with you about going up to 168 however thats a pretty packed weight at the moment so maybe he's better getting more experience at mw before moving up although long term i think thats where his future will be i think

    i think domestically 168 is high on quantity and low on quality if we assume degale isnt going the british route and groves isnt either, darren mcdermott lookslike he is fighting for the british title, that shows how poor the division is, i think id rather see murray in with teh likes of quigley, dodson etc than macklin and barker, dont realy rate murray that much but think going up to 168 suits him as i cant see him being european or world class at any weight

    I always get confused when I watch Murray, its like he has power but he can never seem to stop his opponents...

    Maybe it is something he needs to work on in the gym, otherwise he looks good.

    i supose muscles don't sometimes equate to punching power, but if he's draining himself to make weight, it could be taking the snap out of his punches, looks like he would be more cozy at s/middle.:good

    I thought he looked really good, Especially considering it was his first 12 rounder....;)

    I thought he looked sluggish, IMO he's too big for MW

    As others have said he looked a bit sluggish but I look forward to see who he faces next. On another note a decent opponent nice to see an Aussie with genuine pedigree to gage how good the win was.

    Just looks like another average talent to me. Nothing to get excited about.

    Still looks like a poor mans Jamie Moore.

    Decent for the lad to pick up a belt and 12 rounds all the same.
