I know its a huge step up in class for Murray, but do you think he has what it takes to defeat a arguably shot Casamayor? :think
No. I don't actually see Murray being better than Katsidis. I think Casamayor knocks him out. I'm convinced he's still got something left in the tank, enough to beat Murray anyway. I'm doubt Murray can handle an experienced, slick southpaw like Casamayor, who knows all the tricks in the bag, is still reasonably durable and can pack some power in that left hand.
Depends how done Casa is. If he had enough to beat Katsidis then Murray ain't walking away with the W. He'll be crawling away with the L.
Casamayor hasn't been looking great and he's only getting worse. Depends how much his movement is impacted, if he can still move and counterpunch he'd give Murray a lot of problems. If not I think a young, hungry guy like Murray would outlast and outwill him. You wouldn't exactly bet your life on Casamayor beating Katsidis again at this point.
I think Murray would be able to wear down Casamayor and stop him in a entertaining fight. He would never beat a prime Casa we all know this but fact is Casa legs aren't what they were and he's now showing signs of wear and tear and i think Murray would be frustrated at first but as fight goes on he get to Casa and break his heart. Murray would have to still eat some shots against old Casamayor but he get the 'W' imo. We must remember he beat Katsidis but that and the Marquez fight will have taken a lot from the tank. Plus the fact a raw Katsidis was for some winning the fight up and till the stoppage.
That's probably because Katsidis seems to have improved at least a bit since then. But Murray has always struggled a bit with boxers, McAllister gave him problems early, same with Scott Lawton the first couple of rounds, even a shot Thaxton out-boxed him the first round before he stopped moving and started trading.
Casa is far too cagey and hits hard Murray comes in with straihgt lines and little head movemnt but he really does bring it dosent he? still not enough to beat Casa
nah Tommy lost my password and canna get back on for all ius it i cant be arsed doing anything to fix the problem
Just want to add that a lot depends on where the fight is fought as well. Over here i could see the ref allowing some rather crude work from Murray.
Yeah i know :yep but Murray i could see employing the Hatton maul and brawl style at higher level and i could see the ref allowing it where as in U.S he wouldn't get anywhere near doing it without facing consequences.
