Rumour mill: Murray v Sturm booked, ****** has not signed Fury

It's definitely being reported in the Mail alright.... But who wants to see these two fight a second time. Sturm beat Murray the first time without being in shape and without getting out of second gear. it was neither a close fight nor an exciting one. Who needs a rematch???
I know Sturm deserves an easy pay day but this is ridiculous.

 

I think Sturm will win this one. I picked Sturm over Barker and I am picking him to beat Murray in a rematch he seems to have rediscovered his dedication. I think a Macklin rematch would be decent as well.

 

BoxNation shot themselves in the foot it seems...

How f**king difficult is it to actually wait for a signed contract before you announce stuff?

BoxNation is great, but no need for silly stuff like this.

 

Cant find any mention of this apart from the Mail though===checked and nothing in the German papers so far: so lets not overreact just yet....:huh

 

I know Felix is furious at being robbed of a perfectly good win against Murray (and Geale too by the way). So this rematch with Murraywas always likely to be aat the forefront of their thinking when the Barker rematch fell through.
I feel for Felix - he was wronged badly, but Murray does not deserve it OTHER guys deserve their chance too, you know.

 

If the deal is for Hennessey's fighters to fight on Boxnation whilst he sorts his TV deal out then I can sort of believe that.

The press release says that Fury has signed a long term deal which is rather odd given Fury's position and the reach of Boxnation currently over say Channel Five.

 

Will DeGale be on BoxNation too?

 

Well to be fair Fury has stated on Twitter his next fight is on Boxnation, big news for both them and Frank if it is true. Tyson and Chisora will be bigger then anything Eddie will be able to put on next year outside of Froch Groves or Brook Khan

 

Agreed and there's no way Khan will fight Brook so that just leaves Groves-Froch and from what i'm hearing Groves could well be on his way to Boxnation if he doesn't get the rematch.

 

That fight should never have been for a title and neither should the Geale fight. The limited Macklin clearly beat him and was robbed of being world champion. He has nothing to be furious about considering he shouldn't have been champ then anyway.

 

I think Murray has fallen foul of the old 'you get better when you are injured (or inactive)' theory.

Kinda like a football player when your team is struggling, an injured player automaticaly becomes better when he is missed.

 

The casuals will not be signing up for Boxnation to see Chisora fight Fury like they did when he fought Haye.

 

Agreed Mack did beat Felix.

But what has that got to do with the current issue, which is that the over-rated and un-deserving Murray seems to be getting 'rewarded' twice (first with a gift draw and now an undeserved rematch) while other boxers get passed over? Murray isnt the only contender, or the best. Other guys deserve their chance too.....

By the way - any independent confirmation of this rematch at all?

 

really? His performance against Martinez, in a hostile environment was incredible. Every man and his dog know that he won that fight, had a legit knockdown ruled out. I think Murray is actually underestimated to be honest.
