MARTIN MURRAY insists he has no fear of a dodgy decision in his fourth world title attempt on Saturday.
In the first of his three failed bids, he was the victim of a controversial points draw against local hero Felix Sturm in Mannheim in 2011.
Murray, 33, stepped up a division after lasting 11 rounds with world middleweight No.1 Gennady Golovkin earlier this year and takes on German Arthur Abraham for the WBO supermiddleweight crown.

turns out that was the faded version of martinez whos legs had gone.
In either case, it should probably have been Murray and not Cotto as the lineal champ.
How does Murray even get the fight?
He just fought two 8 rounders and a 12 round with a guy he knocked down 8 times? How does this guy rank fighting prelim guys?
He gets stopped in a title fight than gets another shot within the year? wow!

Yes, and I think that was a case of Abraham underestimating Smith.
He went 12 rounds with him twice.
Anyway. I think Murray was an underrated middleweight. With fair judging he could easily only have that 1 defeat to GGG on his record and wins over Martinez and Sturm.
I'm not sure he's strong enough at SMW though. He's not the biggest puncher and Abraham is a strong guy. Then again Froch managed to outbox and outjab Abraham all night so i wonder if Murray will try to follow that plan. That's probably his best chance.
He went 12rounds with Paul Smith loooool remember that.
paul smith is world class lets not forget, he was on a run at the time knocked out some stellar bums.
How does a fighter get dominated in a title fight and then proceed to beat three opponents that aren't even ranked within the top 100 and then somehow get another title fight?

When the promoters are bum chums playing with their daddies' money.
Murray's a very good fighter. Should've gotten the decision over Martinez and be the lineal champ at 160.

Abraham is still heavy handed, not as heavy as he was as a middle but it sounds a little like Murray might be underestimating him.

I see Murray rolling over Abraham. Arthur looks so sloppy these days and it takes little effort to gas him. Murray showed he's got a hell of good chin and he might even be stronger than Abraham and be able to push him back.
