When he's coming of a KO/TKO defeat against Kevin Mitchell? Mitchell had been out 13 months and still managed to come back stop Murray. So how does he beat argubaly #1 at 135lb?
Why not have Rios vs Miguel Vasquez in a title unifaction?
Or why didn't Top Rank choose someone on a winning streak etc Henry Lundy, John Molina?
Its not that Murray is written off, but Rios aint exactly your typical lightweight..the dude is big, he took Acosta's punches they they were kisses. Murray doesnt really have anything that makes me think he can make it difficult for Rios. Id love to be proved wrong though, if he does win i may have to apologize to the queen.
yeah i dont see him winning but i would like to see Murray do well and dont think itl be a walk over, for Rios but he will probably finish Murray before the end, but it aint a given murray is still good despite his loss.
cause Rios is a chicken that is handpicking easy fights.
Rios is currently DUCKING Mercito Gesto.
Rios already ducked Juan Diaz many times.
Rios also ducked Jorge Linares.
Rios is afraid of a real challenge and wants soft opposition.
Murray aint soft, he will come at Rios all night....
Just because Murray losses one fight too Mitchell dosent mean he aint gona be competetive, He was doing well in the Mitchell fight until late on, Mitchell didnt want this fight as he aint got over the way Katsidis went through him like butter, Murray has balls for taking this fight and im sure he believes he can win.
So irritating one loss these days and your written off.

I didn't see this one coming straight away for Murray, wow. It will be good tear up whilst it lasts, but the only thing i see is Murray getting stopped again and probably in 8 rounds or less
Im hoping Cotto Marg makes sky or boxnation, is there anyway to find out what fights are going to be on sky because i swear i find out only a few days before the fight its a nightare!!! I wonder who will take center ring early stages will be a war.
Apparently.
Whats up with all the joke fights today?
In fact this year has been the year of Joke Fights.
:lol1: Agreed.
Hatton vs Alvarez, Chavez vs Zbik, Morales vs Cesar Cano, Povetkin vs Chagaev Bute vs Mendy, Murray vs Rios, Wlad vs Mormeck.
Rios twittered me today and responding to my question: "Why Murray over Mitchell?" he said: "The reson why coz he didn't want 2 fight me yet so murry come alone n tht who my manager pick". Theories of why Mitchell didn't pick up the tab (he was favourite for Rios actually), is probably because he could have made more money or Warren is saving him whilst he's just about getting his career back on call. One thing's for sure, I think Mitchell will fight the winner for the Regular Title
It is a fight designed to make Rios look like a world beater, not a fight designed to test him~
If nobody knows who the guy he is fighting anyways, might as well have an unknown guy that he will look impressive against.
