Murray vs Mitchell: Gallagher is Feeling The Pressure Too
Apr 22, 2011 • 9:56 AM ET
John Murray won't be the only one putting his unbeaten record on the line when he faces Kevin Mitchell this summer.
Murray's trainer Joe Gallagher will also be under pressure in the north v south clash.
Gallagher is unbeaten as a trainer, although with each fight, his 40+ winning streak comes under increasing strain.
That's not because he's getting it wrong in the gym, but the standard of opponent for his fighters is getting better.
His '0' may already have gone by the time Mitchell-Murray comes around because Stephen Smith has a tricky British and Commonwealth featherweight title clash with John Simpson next week.
But Gallagher is confident he will have the winning formula for a few fights yet, and has predicted that Smith will have too much for Simpson.
No date or venue has been set for Murray-Mitchell, although it is likely to take place in June or July.
