A small injury lol

A small injury lol

I'd never even realised before a non Brit probably wouldn't know wtf a niggle is. Sounds more like a racial slur than any type of injury.

translation, we're resting him till the spring, only big (ish) fights from here.

A small hand injury, I just get the feeling Hearn or him didn't want to fight so soon after beating Rocky Fielding.

Right thing to do, you see how far they've rated Smith in the SMW since beating Fielding?
Arthur Abraham is the number 1 of the SMW and Martin Murray has the chance to take that #1 spot lol.

I'm rooting hard for a Murray win, even more so than I usually do for Abraham opponents. I think he takes this and it opens the door for many a lucrative fight for Murray. I feel he was robbed versus Martinez, not so much versus Sturm. He deserves another title shot IMO on the back of the Martinez fight, but the GGG fight he really was never going to deer GGG with his lack of power.

A fight versus DeGale is an interesting one as is Smith, though I feel Smith is better equipped to defeat DeGale, he's more of a rounded fighter IMO, in fact I think Smith beats DeGale.

Yeah it would be very good for the British If we get Murray taking this belt, hard to believe how many guys we'd have inside the top 5 I think it would be 3 guys Murray, Smith and DeGale absolutely crazy stuff lol.

One thing that impressed me with Murray is that he didn't give up after the GGG fight like Willie Munroe Jr seems to have done, Murray got out there and fought as many fights as he could possible and now again in the same year he's lined himself up with the number 1 guys of the SMW division that's him faced the MW division 1 guy and soon to be the SMW guy too he's been a busy boy.
