    3-2 Murray, doing enough to take the rounds without ever looking more than 70% fit,

    4-2 Murray, he hurt Khomitzy with a body shot. Could knock him down in the next round if he goes downstairs.

    His body language isn't good. He doesn't look happy, He's breathing heavy.

    I think he's feeling the after effects of the virus. Sometimes it's better not to fight and just rest for a little bit but he needs to earn ££ for over christmas and get rust off for Feb i suppose.

    Yeah but then again i doubt they would of taken fight with all that's gone on. I think they know he can get through this.

    Well, barring a KO, he's done enough to take home a decision. Like I said it's hard for these world title challengers at British level to get up for facing fights like your Abigail Medina and Khomitzy, maybe when you're a prospect it's easier but when you're facing someone you know you have beaten before or could beat easily it's hard to be motivated.

    Murray has looked like crap and done enough to win, as has McDonell, and I expect Mitchell might look **** poor later.

    This is partly down to Eddie Hearn playing it safe, I wish they showed the Floyd Moore fight instead of watching this 'go through the motions' crap.

    True in that case i wonder what the point of this fight was, i mean it was risky move if Murray was not even 70% in the first 3 it looked as if Murray could loose this fight.

    Think he wanted some coin over Christmas that he missed out on the Froch-Groves fight. Plus he's got a fight in Feb so probably just wanted to get out there and get the rust off.

    Thankfully he got the win because that could of been really embarrassing. TBH this is what Larry Holmes said about Joshua's development when he said Hearn's wrong about fighting every week. You don't wanna go into fights with half a tank etc.

    Right score. Murray seemed off.

    Very honest interview there from Martin no excuses, i suppose he got the rounds in and the win, will of course have to up his performance massively for the next fight. World title fight in Feb for him so, Hope it isn't GGG Murray deserves a world title but he ain't winning it off GGG

    Dmitry Chudinov looks likely. Golovkin will be promoted to Super Champion and Murray will contest the regular.

    I imagine it might be Quillin, as Golovkin is fighting in January, Sturm won't want to rematch Murray, and Martinez won't either.
    If he fights Quillan he has to be twenty times better than tonight.
