Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton: Martin Murray Should Be Middleweight Champ

[mathed]

I had it one point for Sergio or thought a draw would have been honorable. Had it even going into the final 2 rounds and gave them both to Sergio. Figured that one of the close rounds I gave to Sergio earlier could have gone to Murray so I thought Sergio won by a point or so. Close fight and Murray deserves to be mentioned among the top guys in the division. I'd like to see him against maybe Barker or N'Dam

Murray had to do more to take the title from the champ. It's not Sergio's fault they gave him the decision, no reason to look down on him

I must not watch enough boxing. I had some weird idea that clean effective punching had something to do with the way a fight is scored. Didn't realize it was all about activity and which guy is the Champion.

Please educate me. How many rounds do you have to win as a challenger in order to actually deserve a win in the fight at large? Or how much do you have to win a round by before you've actually really won it, when fighting a Champion? And did Murray get informed of these special scoring standards before the fight so that he could train and fight accordingly? How foolish he and his team were to go into the fight not knowing the rules, and think they only needed to fight better than the champion in a majority of rounds and/or score a knockdown or two.
