Comments Thread For: Martin Murray Grabs WBC Gold, Dominates Bursak

[Hougigo]

I can see WBC trying to make Rubio/Murray while allowing Cotto to fight Canelo.

I'd like to see them try to set it up as a final eliminator. Rubio will sue the shit out of them.

Denver Cuello sued them when the WBC tried to fit another voluntary in for their chinese champ and they had in writing he was next too

Martinez ruined Murray.

Murray showed great promise early in his career but at the highest level he just can't pull the trigger and he may have looked ok tonight but he was up against a c level fighter at best.

Rubio beats Murray

Murray has seemed look OK at the highest level but has also been somewhat fortunate - he was lucky to get the Draw against Sturm (possibly as a result of the Macklin robbery backlash), and lucky to be chosen by a faded and injured Maravilla as a homecoming opponent.

That said Bursak isn't a walkover - what worries me more is Martins performance against seasoned journeyman Khomitsky (against whom he could easily have taken a loss or draw in a neutral venue) and designated victim Tetteh - who he should on paper have annihilated.

I've yet to watch tonights fight, but Martin will have to really impress to make up for his last coupla performances IMO. It appears that Murray may be being lined up as a Golovkin opponent for next year - and he certainly is a decent opponent - but I'm not convinced he's really a top class contender.

Actually Murray vs Rubio would make an interesting, (tho' potentially unexciting) matchup.

How did martinez ruin murray lol. Murray would have beat martinez if he was more aggressive and went for it. Plus the other knock down was ruled a slip. He showed the world martinez was there for the taking.

All he needed was home town advantage, had the fight been in the UK, and it would have been Cotto v Murray.

Yea, Murray is the Silver champ and Rubio is the interim champ

... Which makes Golovkin a nobody. Good.
