At York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, EBU lightweight title John Murray (31-0, 18KOs) struggled early, but managed to pull himself together in the second half to win a twelve round decision over Karim El Quazghari (11-2-2, 4KOs). The scores were 116-110, 117-111 and 115-112.

As far as world level goes, Murray is a mediocre LW who gets annihilated as soon as he faces a solid guy on that level.

Cards were a disgrace, officiating was a disgrace.

john murray is a good domestic fighter but thats as far as he goes. when murray fights you know what your going to get, aggression , no head movement, no latteral movement and he always just walks straight in taking too many punches and neglecting his jab making fights alot more difficult than they should be. he will get away with it at this level but at world level im affraid its going to be a painful experience. there is two good fights for him domesticlly kevin mitchell and gavin rees. personally i think both fighters have the capabilities of beating murray and both fights could be contenders for fights of the year. him fighting either mitchell or rees would be giving the fans what we want too see REAL 50/50 FIGHTS.

Sadly I think any of the current LW champions would beat Murray badly. He just has no defence or head movement. However, if he stays at European level for too long with this style he will get stale quickly. He really needs to try and develop some more technical ability to go with his aggression if he wants to keep his career moving.
