Rohan Murdock

Have a feeling that Murdock will become a household name around here the same way Salka has.

According to boxrec he's the 3rd best Aussie Supermiddleweight so you know he's legit.

Speaking of which I wonder if they considered Blake Caparello. Not that he's a top guy but he has some recognisable names on his record, already fought Kovalev and was already in prep for the Dirrell fight that got cancelled.

Think somebody in his family made him a highlight videos

Lol this is too funny

Can't recall the source, but Ward's deal to be on the Cotto-Canelo PPV as the co-feature (first of three fights owed to HBO) is apparently almost done and Murdock was being mentioned as the possible opponent (BoxRec shows that he was already targeting a late November fight on his own, so he's already in camp).

Height/reach seem to pattern Kovalev, a quick highlight video of Murdock on Youtube show him kind of fighting like Kovalev (trying to keep range, heavy straight shots, lunging in on the attack, etc), but the fight has the added caveat of Murdock being a bubble super middleweight/ light heavyweight.

Whoever sanctioned an 85 year old media mogul to fight in a professional boxing match is a disgrace. I hope Rupert doesn't get killed. He only just recovered from the phone hacking scandal.

Wasn't even trying to be a dick too, lol.

It is pretty funny that Ward is fighting a worse opponent for each successive tune-up. From Rodriguez to Smith to Murdock. And he's gotten $2M for each fight.

Ward is laughing all the way to the bank.

HBO's Hershman will back him no matter what. But he's going to waste HBO money with Ward receiving big paydays to fight soft opponents.

He has few fans because of his boring "headbutt, hold, clinch and clamp" style and they are becoming even fewer because of his infrequent fighting and his increasingly soft opposition.

Watched 30 secs of that highlight video and stopped that was enough, that and he's from Australia.

Hey I'm a big Ward fan, but Murdock would be a laughable choice. I root for Ward because of his ability to shine when the lights are the brightest (Kessler, Froch, Dawson), and while I'll always watch Ward fight, he hasn't had a meaningful fight since September 2012. That's over 3 years. He's gotta step his game up.

But Ward is forcing him to fight at LHW. So he is totally unranked at that weight as he has never fought there. This is a joke and HBO should be ashamed of themselves for allowing it.
