I think Amirs next oppenent in September should be John Murray, Amirs proved himself against good British fighters but I think from last nights performance Murray could be a very tough opponent for Amir. He has a very good defense, comes forward all the time and can definetly bang. I felt some of the shots Meager took and not taking anything away from the lad who put up a valiant effort but he got absolutley battered. If an old Gomez stepping up a weight can put Amir on his arse then I think Murray definetley can. Opinions please.
I have given Murray a bit of stick lately for a few less than stellar performances, but he made me eat my words last night - excellent performance. If he could repeat that showing against Khan I see him having a great chance, because Khan cannot fight on the inside at all, and Murray is a busy fighter. He looked much fitter than in previous showings as well, no doubt that helped a great deal.
I don't know why people keep saying this lie. He isn't Floyd Mayweather, Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe or Bernard Hopkins but he most certainly can fight on the inside. In the beginning he couldn't fight on the inside but his inside game has improved in every single fight. He now has a decent inside game, which like the rest of his arsenal, will keep improving.
I was more impressed with Murrays performance than anything Khan has done yet. Im also glad Murray called Khan out, if a passed his prime Gomez can give Khan all that he can handle then i give Murray a 50/50 chance to upset Warrens gravy train.
