Comments Thread For: Rees vs Murray: Hearn Delighted Fight is Now Made

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gavin Rees will face John Murray at the London Olympia on December 8, live on Sky Sports on the Betfair ‘Christmas Cracker’ bill.

Former light welterweight World champion Rees is hunting a shot at two-weight World rule, and victory over the talented Mancunian Murray on would strengthen his case.

Fireworks are on the cards between the two as Murray makes a welcome return to action a year after facing Brandon Rios for the WBA belt in December 2011. Prior to that contest in New York’s Madison Square Garden, the 27 year old came out on the wrong side of the BBBofC Fight of the Year against Kevin Mitchell in a barnstormer at the Echo Arena in Liverpool in July.

I was hoping that the article was about the 160lb Murray. Still, Rees/Murray is a very good domestic match-up.

Rees Vs Murray has the makings of an absolute war. I'd imagine the better boxer (Rees) comes out on top. Purdy Vs Jones is another great scrap IMO.

Murray will kill him.

LOL at "Christmas Cracker" and "formerly undefeated"...

Good fight.
