Love the avatar Dunky but have to disagree about the stoppage. I thought it was timely, his corner should have pulled him out, thought that they were very poor indeed...:yep
i was waiting for a comment like that :nut good performance by murray let's see where he can go from here now... the rounds flew by..
If he doesn't, Katsidis-Murray needs to happen!! :bbb Or hell, have him in with Mitchell even if he loses. Either way.
So if you are way ahead on points a fight should be stopped nowadays? That fight would have went the distance, the ref was hell bent though on Murray getting a nice little KO on his record, over at Bucklands corner trying to make them pull Buckland out in the middle rounds... Listen, it was a good fight, but ruined by dodgy reffing AS USUAL.
:yep All should be great fights :happy I hope it happens. Warren has said it could happen if Murray raises his profile a bit. Realistically, I don't see it being Mitchell's first defence (if he wins!) but it could deffo happen down the line if both keep winning.
Incredible toughness and heart from Buckland. Murray was really impressive tonight. Even his defence was decent overall and he picked his shots and boxed well. Not just brute strength, he showed class.
Frank Warren fight with WBO title - I don't think he'll be going for the big names in the division from the off. There'll be some money-making fights first.
