Juan Diaz Vs John Murray

Murray being as easy as he is to hit, will be the one quitting if anyone, in a fight against Diaz.

 

i was there and have to agree, mitchell diden,t look to have hurt katsidas, certainly nothing worth reporting on anyhow, murray v diaz would be a hell of a fight, so would katsidas v jmm, there to hard to predict very entertaining fights,

 

great fight for Murray to prove himself. Diaz has lost a few recently but that doesn't demote him. He is a genuine former champ who if Murray beat then he would immediately be thrust into the top rankings UNLESS it looked like Diaz was totally shot and couldn't get off.

 

Have a word with yourself

Murray hasn't fought anyone that would even be allowed to spar with Diaz..... nor is his chin proven.

Diaz by KO - harder puncher, better chin, basically better at everything.

 

He felt the weight of the punches definately but i doubt he was hurt:good

TBF to Mitchell his punches carry a bit of sting but he simply isnt a strong lightweight.

 

As if Hennessey could arrange this fight!

Murray is one stupid idiot, his deal with Henessey runs out in OCtober and he is considering re-signing.

 

Except when Al Hamidi nearly beat him. Yeah no trouble at all.

Diaz doesn't need the punch resistance - I really like Murray but he's not got fast enough hands or the technique to deal with a guy like Diaz. Diaz would stay in his grill all night and cut his face to ribbons.

 

He was wobbled by Malignaggi, but still managed to take plenty off Marquez on Saturday and be competitive through most of the fight.

I'm not particularly big on Diaz, but until Murray beats someone that can actually box or fight at a decent level then you've got to side with the opponent.

Murray, to me anyway, just isn't that good. He's well schooled and trained, but everything about him just looks average.

Average footwork
Average handspeed
Average power
Average defence
Average ring IQ

Chin ???

:good

 

I got to agree with you WhamBam, the Diaz v Murray fight wouldn't be such a forgone conclusion as people make out.

Murray is a huge lightweight and I feel he could bully Diaz around the ring, breaking him down in the process and Diaz isn't hard to hit either.

He has been in the ring with more skilful fighters than Murray but he won't have been in with many who hit harder, I just feel Murray could win a decision.

Stranger things have happened.
