    warren doesn't do WBC He'll give murray a faded katsidis before he goes anywhere near some1 like rios but its an Interesting fight murray has a chance hes a big lightweight and works well on the inside, the question is how well his chin stands up to rios's shots, rios will be able to take murrays

    Awesome fight. They mirror each other, except Murray doesn't appear as talented and boxs a bit more.

    Its all about whether or not Murray has the same intangiables needed to enforce that style - heart, chin, stamina, power etc

    At this stage, Rios is simply a better version but Murray might do it.

    Rios is desperate for Ortiz, that's a fight I'd like to see.

    Will be interesting what happens to John's WBC ranking now he's signed with Warren.

    doubt it changes. I imagine his WBO will sky rocket.

    Murray you goofball!

    Hell, most people agree he's at best pretty evenly matched with Tony DeMarco (who's far less dangerous than Rios) - in fact some don't give him a chance in that matchup and a couple even think the guys Tony has beaten are a level above Murray!

    Rios??? :patsch

    Admire the bottle, but FFS that's ridiculous.

    Both similar. Rios has more snap and hurt in his shots. He can hurt with both hands and taken world class punches and stood and smiled.

    It would be like Neary vs Ward type of battle with Murray being broken down around 6th-7th round. Neary had success in his bout with Ward i don't think Murray would share the same success.

    :yep

    If Murray wants an international scalp he's actually better served targeting John Molina - who's like Rios Lite and much more beatable for him...and has appeared numerous times on American TV, which could help him crossover with a dominant win.

    It will be an action packed fight for as long as it continues, both men will come forward and throw punches and not take a backward step.
