    Last night Murray said they're very close to getting this fight made.

    How do you guys see this going?

    Draw/could go either way

    We don't know enough about Murray against quality opposition. Sure he did well against Sturm but I don't rate Sturm at all. What happens when he gets hit by a real puncher and has too dig deep? We just don't know, however I'd expect him to lose his head, go for broke and try and be the hero

    Agreed we don't know enough about Murray. He showed some real promise against Sturm though. Just seemed to lack a little experience at that level.

    Chavez would surely be the favourite but I reckon whoever wins it'll be a competitive fight. Chavez will get tested for sure.

    :good it would definitely be close. If it went to the scorecards I'd imagine it being a 116-112 style decision. Then again if Murray actually won a close fight, the scorecards would probably be for chavez anyway

    Also I think Macklin, Lee, Pirog, Geale, Martinez and maybe Barker beat both comfortably so I don't see a great future for the winner anyway

    If you dont have the power to make an impression and/or the defensive skill to make Chavez miss your more than likely going to be outworked and outhustled over the 12 round distance, cannot see anything other than exactly that in this fight.

    Murray is very average
