    Just confirmed by Eddie Hearn on SSN. Murray has a virus.

    It's a poor attempt at a PPV but I'll still buy it!

    Mismatch for a Main event and a truly awful under-card that isn't worth watching. Failure from Hearn and Co. I am expecting Dave Clark to have to Apologize to the fans after the main event for it being so one sided after all the BS promotion.

    Are you serious, paddy?

    Andy is as nice a guy as you could meet, but he seems to have plateaued at a level well below where we all hoped he would reach - well below Murrays level. Would you agree?

    The opponent - the guy replacing Wood is no great shakes either...
    All in all it is very disappointing.....

    Really **** card...

    Murray shouldn't have been facing a no name bum. Hearn should have got a competitive (but winnable fight) against someone like... well, Andy Lee. Lee would have been the perfect opponent for Murray. Respected and decent, but easily beatable to set Murray up for a bigger fight in February.

    I genuinely don't think there is much between the 4 of Murray Macklin Lee and Barker.

    In a round robin tournament I think Lee would get a victory even if I don't think he would win outright.
    We will hopefully find out next March when and if Lee v Macklin gets made.

    A **** undercard just got even shitter.

    With both Joshua and Murray off the card and the Fielding vs Allen fight now off it's really scraping the barrel time. They better hope Froch vs Groves doesn't turn out to be the mis-match it could well be.

    I can already see Dave Clark having to apologize to the viewers after Froch destroy groves within the first 6 rounds in a one sided beat down. hearn won't care though as he will already have their money. Win win for Hearn.

    LOL


    You're having a laugh, kid. Lee's decent, but he's fringe world level whereas Barker, Murray and Macklin have proven they're world level. Yeah, Macklin got destroyed by GGG, but he gave Martinez and Sturm a pretty good fight with some saying he even should have beat Sturm.

    Murray arguably BEAT Martinez and Barker gave a good showing, winning the first 4 or 5 rounds imo.

    Lee is a good step behind them.
