Comments Thread For: Photos: Abraham Crushes Martin Murray's Title Dream

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I've been saying Murray is an under-rated fighter since before he was even considered as an opponent for Golovkin.

Not everybody is as petty as you, more interested in scoring points at an internet forum than scoring fights objectively.

Look at the responses in this thread. The overwhelming majority say it wasn't a robbery and that Abraham won.

Sergio Martinez was one of my favourite fighters and I thought Murray clearly beat him so don't talk to me about objectivity, fanboy.

I was in tui arena last night. I had it 115-112 for Abraham. The point deduction sealed the fight for me.

The knee-jerk reactions from some whenever a fight goes to the scorecards is lame. Sure there is robberies, but 7-5 fights can never be a robbery by definition and this fight was certainly not a robbery.

I thought Murray blew it.

The amount of times he had Abraham on the back foot or ropes and just backed away and let AA come forward was extremely frustrating. AA just shells up and never counters, when he's shelled up you hit him, not back away.

Let me also say that the brit fans behaved like true boxing fans last night. Singing loudly and cheering for their guy in awesome fashion. A joy for a neutral like me to witness. Murray's fans where a far cry from the hooligans that travel with Josh Warrington.

Oh and I spoke to couple of them at the hotel after the fight and they had no issue with the decision. They felt the fight was very close and where happy woth Murrays performance which is what they should be.

Looks about 50/50 to me, and most of the people saying AA won seem to be fans of his.

And you must remember me defending Murray when you dismissed him before he even fought Golovkin, so don't call me a fanboy. I've always rated him, and you never have.

Yep all those huge Abraham fans on here. There's just so many of them!

Far from a robbery.

I had Abraham winning comfortably.

Yeah, it's just a tradition on here to cry for "robbery" every times AA fights. I bet b1tches don't even watch the fights anymore, just come here to say robbery, german cooking and lame excuses like that.

Even more funny when guys say AA is **** but yet the same guys bring AA's name up when they want to prove that Ward's or Froch's resume is good...

Anyway, war AA, well deserved win champ.

Abraham won a close fight. No robbery here.

You start noticing how every close fight in Germany is called a robbery just because of reputation. Same thing people say about Sturm/Murray when it isn't true there, either.

he wasn't robbed. It was a close fight. i like murray and had predicted he would win on points if not robbed. He wasn't robbed ... he just didn't do enough ... a bit frustrating as i felt if he'd been a bit more aggressive and kept AA on the back foot he'd have done it

I had AA winning a close fight. I wish Murray could of took advantage when he rocked AA, in the 8th(i think it was?). AA looked hurt there.

No robbery. Still feel awful for Murray though, hate to see a man come so goddamn close so many times and never get it.

I had it 115-112 Abraham. Close but clear IMO.

50-50 doe.

Damn Abraham fanboys!

I agree with this. Murray had it in his own hands to beat AA so convincingly that not even the German judges could have robbed him, but he always tries to win by just doing enough.

He was landing clean punches in those bursts of aggression though, and consistantly getting through with jabs and sweeping rights to the body at long range. He hit AA more times than AA hit him, and hurt him visibly twice, which the commentaters and TV editors, like the judges, ignored.

"AA fans" You still have your hungover mate apparently. Have you had coffee since this morning? There is no such thing as AA fans on BS for some time now. I'm probably the only one with Hyeduk and that's because we're Armenian.

50-50 doe.

Damn Abraham fanboys!

The Abraham Team. We in here. People throw around words like robbery, but in boxing you have to take the bad with the bad and the good with the good.



King Arthur, baby. GOAT.

Should've figured the GGG defense force would be in here with some spin. They never fail to disappoint.
