Comments Thread For: Arthur Abraham-Martin Murray II in Play, Nov. 12 in Monaco

I and MANY others disagree. Thought a case could be made for either man but in no way was it a clear loss. Think maybe you should give it a rewatch.

That's fine that you disagree. That's your right. My right is to say that Murray CLEARLY did not do enough to beat Abraham. He knew what he had to do when he went to fight Arthur Abraham in Germany. In 'close' fights, the champion gets the benefit of the doubt. In hostile environment, the visiting fighter needs to do more to show he's worthy. None of this is news.

Murray started slow, was unwilling to take risks or push the action. If I'm not mistaken, even Murray's trainer told him around the ~~8th? that he needs to do more if he expects to win.

Keep in mind that I don't like Abraham at all (think he's a whiny b1tch), and am a BIG fan of Martin Murray, cheering for him against the Saint and follow him on twitter. IMO he truly got robbed against Sergio Martinez, but I don't think he did enough to beat AA.

If Murray stays busy, Abe might block all day but Martin don't want to get caught.

When fighting in Germany, bring this lady to take care of the judges

I thought Murray wanted to go back down to MW.. I guess he didn't feel Arthur's power last time so it's his way of not killing himself to make weight and not feel like he's overpowered.

He lost clearly the first time. I expect the 2nd one to go the same way.

You thought Murray lost clearly??? It was a robbery more like. He won it by 3 points on my card. He controlled most of the rounds.

I hope Murray pulls this off and goes on to win the big one just once. Then he needs to retire. Coming close and coming up just short or being robbed as often as it has happened to Murray must be soul crushing. I'm surprised he still keeps going.
