Rios vs John Murray on Margarito/Cotto undercard

[IronDanHamza]

This fight will not be competitive.

Will look a lot like Rios-Antillion.

Should have fought Murray last year when he was in the Top 5 at 135 before Kevin Mitchell whooped him.

What an absolute joke of a fight. At least fight Kevin Mitchell but no, hes fighting the guy he knocked out.

Typical Arum.

[Evil Abed]

Murray is ****ed.

Rios will destroy the poor man's version of himself.

[NoLove]

Because Murray has a pretty record (aside from one loss

Murray doesnt have a good record. He doesn't have one decent win.

Warren is just starting to build Mitchell back up again. He's not going to put him in with Rios and destroy him again. He knows Murray can't do anything above domestic level so he is cashing in on him.

He pretty much guaranteed that the winner would get Rios.

Either way, its a terrible opponent for Rios. Why is this guy rated so highly by some people? Hes exciting but he fights nobody.

I agree. If you ask Murray he will say this is the best opponent for me because he comes forward. But he is wrong. When Murray was defending his Euro title against tomoto cans they all came forward to give him the best they had any he had to really grind the win out. When someone boxes him and hits and moves (like Mitchell did) he has some success.

He has the charcteristics of a playground bully, likes to dish it out but when someone stands back and dishes it back he isnt so effective.

The Acosta, Peterson and Antillion wins were all good wins imo.

Holy **** this will be a STACKED ASS card! margarito/cotto; wolak/rodriguez; rios/murray. . . GUARANTEED to be a night of nonstop action. . . WARS WILL BE WAGED. .

but yes, murray is a D+ version of BAM BAM!!!

not getting my hopes up too much, because I don't know if Warren will want to take the fight - a brutal KO loss, which is an almost certainty, wouldn't be the best thing if Warren plans to get Murray back to the position he intended him to be in. . .

You forgot Jones vs. Lujan. The 3 undercard fights could arguably all be stand alone HBO or Showtime main events.

They are ok wins. Now hes taking a giant step backwards. Antillion was even a step back.
