Sturm V Murray

Yeah the one from Ireland! :happy

 

Anyway its Joe Murray!

 

If it is him what presents MOTD3 who turns up I reckon Sturm might just KO him!!!

 

:yep

 

It depends on Sturm really, Murray's a decent operator and strong but lack of bridging the gap in terms of fights at this or around this level maybe his undoing.

In saying that he's got nothing to lose and Macklin's shown how to combat Sturm but Sturm's a accomplished operator but i wouldn't write Murray off. He's got the sheer strength and aggression to cause the champion problems. I need to see more of Murray's recent fights to gauge how good a chance he has but at this time i'd give him a slight chance.

 

I think Murray will do well here and maybe even win if he puts in the performance he is capable of

 

This fight is more then winnable for murray, he is a lot stronger then macklin and frankly if sturm performs like he did against macklin he will get stopped!

 

I disagree with everything you just said.

 

Sturm TKO in round 8.

 

You can still get 3/1 on a Sturm stoppage at Skybet.

I haven't checked any other sites yet but that seems great value considering a) Murray's leap up in class, and b) the likelihood of a UK stoppage™ in Sturm's favour.

 

Sturm is beatable so I'm rooting for Murray. Sturm is fast and explosive but fights in spurts and trusts too much in his full guard. Murray has to blind him with the jab and bomb his guard in combos, step off and repeat. Also be sure to fight each round smart and not let Sturm steal the round i.e. start and finish strong.

 

Thats decent odds.

 

I wish Murray well but have money on him being stopped.
