Comments Thread For: Murray Withdraws From Fletcher For Felix Sturm Rematch?

[Hougigo]

If this is true, did Barker decide to retire then?

No word yet... but I'm sure the rematch clause would be good if Barker decided to take the first half of the year to recover from the hip injury

Very doubtful he returns. The window on the Rematch is only 6 months, and one month has already passed. This gives him 5 months to fully heal & train for the fight. Not likely. Was expecting Geale Vs Sturm rematch but looks as if Geale may face Golovkin instead.

Geale probably pissed he didn't get picked

Fletcher's opponent will likely be Max Bursak.

Probably doesn't perceive Fletcher as a threat as he turned down Macklin on around the same time notice.

He also has some kind of international belt or something.... probably looking to move up the WBA ladder

When he beats Sturm, it will make the GGG even bigger.

If this fight does happen and Murray wins, h e would look like a genius for passing up on the GGG fight. With a title it makes for a bigger fight and a bigger payday

Thats a big IF. I doubt Murray will fight GGG if he wins. He'll likely get it on with Macklin in a big money fite given he wins that too and then Sturm rematch which he will have a clause for. There goes another year.

This is so freaking funny.... you think he'd fight Golovkin afterwards?
Are you kidding me? He's going to take that belt back to England and defend it there.
The great British run around will begin
Macklin, Lee, Saunders.... even Chudinov because he sucks
