Comments Thread For: John Murray: 'Katsidis Didn't Beat The Best in Britain!'

[Neckodeemus]

I'm still surprised Katsidis managed to beat Mitchell much less brutalise him in three rounds.

I wouldn't write Mitchell off yet. He is basically too small for lightweight but I would definetely say he smashes Murray at 140 fairly easily.

Not being funny, but Murray's biggest fight thus far is John Thaxton, an old John Thaxton coming off a loss. He is being brought along at a snails pace and hasn't faced a significant step-up well, ever.

He also doesn't look like a guy who could fight at a world-class level. He is strong and tough but all I see is a poor man's Ricky Hatton.

If Mitchell is too small at lightweight then how would he beat Murray, a big lightweight, up at the 140lb light-welterweight limit?

I still don't know what to make of Murray. Until he fights a real contender, it'll remain this way. Beating the Jon Thaxtons and Gary Bucklands of the world is light years away from beating guys like Katsidis!

He really needs to step-up!

Kats knocks murray out when he wants to.

Especially considering that Kats has fought at WW twice, and many more times at LWW - most, if not all, ending by KO.

John Murray took a few moments out of his holiday to speak to us about the weekend's action. Murray, the current British and European lightweight boss, kept a close eye on the Michael Katsidis versus Kevin Mitchell WBO interim title fight and although unhappy to see his fellow Brit stopped in three rounds the Mancunian fighter maintains that Michael ‘The Great’ did not meet the best 135lb fighter in the UK.

Because Murray is comparative junk. Mitchell is a significantly higher class of fighter.
