I personally thought Murray was behind by at least 2 rounds and would not have argued with 4 rounds behind. Read my post early in the thread - Murray knows he needs to knock Abraham out as he has no chance of a decision even if he looks good. He never done nearly enough for me and even a very poor Smelly Paul Smith looked better on fight 1 against Abraham. Froch agrees
I thought Murray didn't do enough and it's shame because if he'd have planted his feet a bit more he could have won the fight. I think Murray can go again and possibly win a rematch though.
First half of my bet...a.a. unanimous decision. .....now klitschko to ko fury on round 6.......$$$$$$
If you didn't know either fighter, who would you have said was the puncher ? Murray landed the cleaner shots, and never looked bothered by Abrahams shots. Murray also had Abraham buzzed after landing the big right hand. I like Paul Smith and Froch, but both were embarrassing when talking about the fight. Obviously trying to make there own performances look better. Feel for Murray
But in all honesty I thought the fight warranted a draw....murray did well in parts.....but ultimately you can't win in Germany. ...end of
I watched the fight with some Murray bias but sorry he did not look the Champion in there and never produced enough to convince me, Froch, Jim Watt or two of the judges that he won that fight.
Froch is an embarrassment to Sky, Paul Smith is a fat arrogant **** and Amir Khan is irrelevant. Worst panel ever.
The trouble is, Abraham will never fight outside of Germany, and unless he gets KO'd, he will never lose at home ( adopted home, as he's Armenian )
People who thought Murray won must be drunk - Murray is Just a serial loser who will never do what is needed to win the big one. He had an already crippled Martinez hurt and ready for the taking and let him off..he somehow managed to get Abraham shaken and instead of just throwing the kitchen sink at the fcuker (even if it meant gassing himself) he let him off the hook by backing off..Murray should retire
He shouldn't need to look like the champion. He won more rounds, thats how its supposed to work. Bampot
Listen to yourself FFS. It was in Germany, then add in the fact that Abraham has never been stopped, and Murray isn't a puncher. Murray landed more punches, landed the only telling shot of the fight, and was deucted a point when Abraham was hanging on him every time Murray landed, and even a chimp could pick the real winner.
