JAMES DEGALE has backed domestic rival Martin Murray to become world champion tonight - and set up a Battle of Britain.
Murray faces Arthur Abraham for the WBO super-middleweight title in Hanover in his fourth crack at a world belt.
And DeGale, who currently holds the IBF version of the crown, says St Helens hardman Murray is finally set to join him at boxing's top table.

If Murray has figured out how to close the show and upped his stamina then I can see him outworking AA, probably easily outworking him. But if he slows down after round 6 has he has done several times before, the Axe Man may just take him out.
I could say the same thing about you and view you as a "hater", dopey cunt.
I'm just calling it as I see it.
You can look back at my posts from the time before Golovkin was even in the picture. I scored it for Sturm. I scored Murray clearly beating Martinez.
That's calling it as you see it.
Golovkin's win over Murray has to be pumped up by Team Golovkin so it's become some sort of accepted fact that Murray was robbed against Sturm when anyone who watched the fight objectively can see that it wasn't the case.
Macklin had a much stronger case of being robbed in his fight against Sturm.
Of course YOU believe Murray was robbed. Because that was the narrative to sell the Golovkin-Murray fight. You have to believe that :lol1:
Nothing but fanboys on here who can never call things objectively.

you gave Sturm rounds for inactivity and when he did open up mainly with jabs?
Or were you swayed by the obviously bias replay trying it's darnest to fight a Sturm highlight.
Murray won that fight. Lol @ lucky to get a draw.

There was nothing wrong with the Sturm decision. In fact, Murray was lucky to get a draw IMO.

DeGale just hoping for an easy opponent...
Murray couldn't even beat Khomitsky convincingly, had to rob him twice. Gift stoppages against Spada and outmatched Torres.
DeGale is right, Murray should win barring a questionable decision in Germany. Then once DeGale beats Bute, perhaps they can collide in a unification clash
I didn't think Stieglitz could get a stoppage over AA either but that happened, it just depends on his luck anyone can be stopped.
True, who knows.
Murray is very tough as hell anyway which will help him a lot against a guy like Abraham.
Plenty of Golovkin's opponents have quit because of far less punishment than Murray took, and in the end the ref had to save him from his own pride and bravery.
Murray has the tools to box him and outwork him weather that will be enough for the decision I too am not sure. Abraham has the power to stop Murray aside from what happened to him against G, murray was hanging on for dear life at the end of the strum fight , Arthur also takes a good shot and as we all know is mighty strong.....big ask really but will be rooting for the lad.
I somehow doubt the punching power of Abraham is going to be the problem for Murray, AA style is slow and he doesn't impose himself on his opponents as much as G does.
Murray has a pretty good chin If anything we've never really seen him hurt that badly and he has been up against big punchers before active punchers like Martinez who didn't really dent him at all.
^^ this.
I hope he does it because he's been very unlucky in the past with decisions.
I suspect he'll try to do what Froch did against Abraham and box/jab his head off for 12 rounds. Whether he can do it is another matter and i don't think he could knock Abraham out. He will need to win almost every round by a mile to get a decision.
Looking forward to this one.

"Enough" won't be enough in Germany.
He'll have to win almost every round.
