John Murray ?

Shame if true because he's always good to watch, but with his fighting style he was never gonna have a long career, he has no defense at all.

 

Probably for the best,is a young guy and has been in so many tough fights and has taken bad beatings..

 

this...^

he will be missed...

 

He was saying he was going to fight again a few week back.

 

This isn't true. Hes out later in the year. Hes been back in training for a few weeks

 

Also people going overboard. He's had 2 beatings only. To Mitchell and Rios. That's it. He's had a few wars but with mostly light punchers at domestic level

 

rios beat the **** out of him, he was taking a savage beating, i think people near to him should have told him to call it a day.

 

The people near him should have threw the towel in 3 rounds earlier

 

:deal

 

Christ this is a brutal sport

 

Had a real tough run for the British title as well. Remember him having good fights with Meager, Lawton, McAlister, Buckland and the Thaxton fight which came a bit too late. Also the Mitchell fight gave us plenty domestically.

His style is always the worst to move up with from Euro level at the lower weights. Always going to come up against a fighter who use that style better and is much bigger. He gave it a good go when he got there though.

 

His style was never going to have longevity, he's had plenty of tough fights even if they aren't big punchers, plus gym wars i can imagine.

 

He has been fortunate that his chin is solid. But taking headshots for prolonged periods in a bout does more harm than just being knocked out early to fight another day.

I'd say if it is safe in regards to the brain scan he should have another fight. But try to learn a more defensive savvy style, and see if he can avoid taking so many punches. If it works for him, then I see no reason for him to not continue his career.

IF however he continues to win but take alot of punishment in doing so, then he should think about his health and hang'em up.
