anyone watch this. Although fair play goes to Andy for winning I thought it was a lack lustre performance - was I over critical? There are a couple of videos of it on my youtoob channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKuWuArxBuI&feature=channel_page
Andy Murray is a bit of a mystery to me, he looks brilliant at times and is sound technically but there is something missing from him at the moment. Good work rate, not enough power in this fight, from the little I have seen of it.
yeah ^^ i went into saturday really looking forward to seeing murray...as i have been a big fan of his since the peter mc donagh fight...i was surprised to see him get caught a bit, but had to remind myself he is moving up all the time, so opponents will show flaws...he did get caught quite a bit...i was ringside for all of the fight and looking up fairly close he got caught with some hard shots {fellow poster 'paddy' was in front of me and another esb poster 'healy', right on the ring in the press section...so be interesting what he made of it from his very close vantage point}...murrays head was knocked well back a few times....i got speaking to eamonn magee afterwards and he was very critical of the way he doesnt bend his legs...magee said its a very basic thing but he still doesnt get it, thats why he's not getting enough power in... anyway...there were still some flashes of brilliance from murray in that fight...i'm still looking forward to seeing more from him.
He came forward rhw whole time, was clearly winning the fight. I had it about 9-3 to Murray But he got tagged alot and if the lad Rasila had power, Murray would have struggled big time. Needs to work on his defense, is good offensively and showed some nice work in combos
