    I initially felt that Rees would win this one. I think he's far from finished and he generally looks busier than Murray does.

    But, I notice that he has a very average knockout ratio and most of those knockouts came early in his career against journeymen opposition, most of whom had negative records. It's highlty unlikely that he'll knock Murray out (I was impressed with how Murray got off the canvas against Lacerda in the first round to cruise to a comfortable points victory) and I'm starting to think that Murray's height and reach advantage might get him over the line here.

    Having said that Murray doesn't have an overly impressive KO history either and it will be difficult to get the decision against a former world champion on his home turf.

    How do you see this one going...?
