Comments Thread For: John Murray: I Want a Title Shot, I've Waited Long Enough

he was let down his last promoter just 30 0 with no real names on there the best hes beat was at best a decent domenstic fighter who was then well past it in thaxton should fight mitchel aug then maybe a shot v a champ december hes a nice lad just hope he can mix it with the elite

He needs to look very impressive on Saturday to even have a chance, he isn't a big name i'm afraid...

You're not supposed to wait for a title shot, you're supposed to earn it. Go away, beat some top ranked contenders, and then maybe you'll deserve a shot. As it stands, you have fought nobody, your style is limited, and you're not a star attraction. You bring very little to the plate, yet you think you are owed a title shot? Frank Warren will probably secure you an undeserved shot at the WBO title, but you haven't earned it. I just hope the 30 or so bums you have fought thus far in your career have somewhat prepared you for the huge step up in class it takes to compete on the world stage. Kevin Mitchell didn't know what a world class fighter looked like until Katsidis was beating him up. I fear the same outcome for you. A flashy undefeated record looks good, but if there isn't any substance or depth to it, it is very doubtful you would have fought the kind of fighters that ready you for the skills, attributes, and pressure, the boxing elite bring to the table. Good luck. You're going to need it!

He has been kept waiting, but he needs to beat a name before he gets a shot, or become a mandatory.
