Does anyone else absolutely adore the way John Murray...

I actually thought Lawton threw the nicer looking punches.

I thought Murray looked ok , but I reckon Khan would be too good. Murray doesnt seem to hit as hard as had been advertised.

 

I broadly agree, but you cannot allow fighters to be able to ride roughshod over regulations without fear of sanction. By all means let Thaxton and Murray get it on but why does it have to be for the British title?...the fight would generate enough interest without the belt being at stake.

 

Wern't the commentators acusing him of doing a lot of arm punching? I don't love his style, fun to watch but I can't see how he can get far the way he just comes forward, he does so with less caution than Hatton at times.

Terry do you think the British title is a requirement for the fight to sell? I don't and I also think that as much as I like Murray and his style- he shouldn't get a straight shot at the title otherwise what would be the point of stripping him? Limmond and Castle are both long overdue title shots, I think the winner of Murray-Thaxton Vs the winner of Limond-Castle would be a good TV fight.

 

Who does he spar with Terry?

 

are limond and castle way overdue though? - castle had some kind of elim stype fight fall through, limond is off promoting WBU fights on his own.

i believe it'd take the british title to get thaxton in there. thaxton has 1 more british title win and he gets a belt for keeps.

thaxton and murray are easily 1 and 2 in britain so it would be a damn shame if there was another reason for this not to happen. why have #1 v #2 when you can have #1 v #5 etc - this is what pisses me off about boxing, the mileage you can get out of titles by having the big questions avoided.

also, if murray doesn't batter thaxton, then thaxton will always be in his way on the euro scene for example.

 

it's just sunk in: a positive thread on John Murray!

3 British level stoppage wins and he's no longer scum.

A few more fights over the past couple of years and he could have been on his way to minor stardom already.

 

Course mate... i'll def be there. Its ok... your a high flier now Terry- don't expect you to waste your time with minions like myself.

Good luck with your article this week in Boxing News pal. If its anything like your usual stuff it will be excellent
