    Over on the Scene of Boxing.

    Don't see this happening any time soon, as Warren, of course, wouldn't risk his newly-signed star that quick. By the time he feels Murray is ready for world level, Rios would have probably moved up to 140 by then.

    Anyhow, it would be a good fight while it lasts. But unfortunately for Murray, he'll probably give Bam Bam the type of fight he likes, and I can't see him making the the final bell.

    Rios by late stoppage or UD. What you guys think?

    I'm genuinely shocked that anyone would think Murray could win this.

    Rios would destroy him.

    Rios would break Murray's heart, like ****ing margarito. If you throw bombs and he keeps coming it must be de-moralising.

    I think this fight would be a lot closer than people think. Reckon it could be a top fight with both shipping punishment. I would probably go for Rios by late stoppage or UD, but wouldn't be surprised if Murray nicked it.

    Would be a good scrap for as long as it lasted but i really like Rios he has that sort iron will to just keep coming and that must be demoralising when a fighter jsut takes your best shots and smiles

    Yeah people are dismissing Murray way too easily. I think he'll at least be competitive within the early rounds.

    I think Rios would love that type of fight. I just feel Rios is the more tougher, bigger, overall more skillful of a fighter than Murray.

    Mid rounds Stoppage for Rios

    I'm beginning to think Hennesey held him back for his own good.
    I think this fight plays out like when Peterson (insanely) went toe to toe with Rios.
