This guy is all over the place and I don't mean that in a good way. Word is that he has pulled out of the Fletcher fight from the GGG undercard. He nearly beat Martinez and has squandered any good publicity he's gotten. He refused to fight Golovkin and now he's pulling out of this fight for reasons unknown. The guy is a mess.
He's terrified of even appearing in the same building as the Triple God. The poor man had a nervous breakdown.
But a shot at a vacant title would be a decent payday, especially on a GGG card, and having the paper title would give him leverage in a unification with Sturm, and if he beat Sturm, it'd give him equal ground vs GGG. He shoulda stuck with this Fletcher fight. Bad move.....really bad move.:huh
He wasn't getting a shot at a vacant title though. The WBA refused to elevate GGG to Super Champion at the end of December and subsequently this meant that Murray's fight against Fletcher was just going to be a defence of his Interim title.
Which means that he needs to fight GGG if he wants the real title. What better way to avoid a guy than to not wanting to fight for his title. I hope Sturm knock this fool out. This is one of most shameful ducks I've seen in recent years.
