Who would u pick Jon Thaxton vs John Murray?

A real tough one to call. At the moment I'd lean towards Jono with his experience of fighting at this level but Murray's coming up quick.

 

Its an interesting one. Could be one of those "crossroads" fights.

Thaxton's been in some tough fights.

 

good old thaxton for me mate,think his experiance and ring intelligence will pull him through in the end,plus i dont think murray would be able to walk trough jonos punches like he did mcallisters

 

Thaxton for me.

He would have the power to back Murray up, unlike McAllister.

I wouldn't rule out a Murray win though, based on workrate. Thaxton is super fit and active, but getting on a bit.

 

thaxton but its not really a fight i'd like to see.

 

id pick jon murray

 

I say Thaxton would win on points.

I rate John Murray but he is always to eager to get into a war. He can box but wants to be the big man in the ring. On Saturday all he had to do was move and box but he let Mccallistar dictate the fight and looked crude.

Thaxton would box sensibly and win a wide UD.

 

I would not know who I would pick tbh, maybe a controversial win for murray on cuts?

 

Murray is a slow plodder who is easy to hit, Thaxton would land flush shots, stop him.

 

murray beats old man thaxton and stops him, thaxtons seen better days,

 

murray, he's got youth and determination, he's developing into a decent pressure fighter

 

Thaxton would stop Murray I think. Both men bleed, and both men can bang, but I think Murray would walk onto one of Thaxtons power punches and find it a different proposition to being hit by the likes of Al Hamidi, Meagar and McCallister.

 

Thaxton. No doubt. I'd probably pick him by stoppage aswell.

Thaxton's a tough guy, he's nowhere near as immobile as Bailey is making out. He can still move around a bit, he's got that decent southpaw stance and can really bang when he wants to. If he can avoid getting cut through Murray's pressure, I think he can start to back him up and stop him.
