The IBC or something?

One of the most robbed challengers every, Martinez, Sturm. Abraham was very close fight but was the least robbery.

Not enough power at 168, no where to go at 160, past his prime, I feel bad for the guy.

Was not robbed against George Groves, Eddie Hearn should match him against Eubank Jnr why not ?

I like Murray but folk have gotta stop perpetuating the myth that he was robbed against Sturm. He wasn't. He was kinda lucky to get the draw frankly.

And barring a minor miracle he ain't ever gonna get his hands on a strap at any weight unless he manages to convince one of the champs to go to St Helens and fight in his back garden with his missus and kids officiating.

Great fight, think Rosado will have a bit too much in the tank for Murray, Murray is extremely battle worn and Rosado has lost to fighters a lot better than Murray.

Should be a good fight to watch. Both guys come to fight. Pulling for Gabe, but will not be disappointed if Murray wins. Whoever wins will get at least one more paycheck. The loser should pack it in.

Nearer the reality at this point in time of Murray getting a title, unless it's IBO/WBU or some other irrelevant organisiation.

The truth is Murray is shot.

Something tells me Rosado would continue to get offers. He's made a career out of being a professional opponent.

Well, he is kinda shot, but more to the point stylistically big fights were never going to go in his favour. The high guard and quick flurry counter style can win you fights at home with judges willing to give you the benefit of the doubt - but you actually need decent power to pull off that strategy on the road. Abraham for instance would often shell up much like like Murray for long stretches but at least he could knock guys out when he did open up. Just sitting back and absorbing the punishment without coming back with something that really hurts your opponent just won't cut it at world level. Martin's a good guy, capable and tough as they come, but champion material he ain't.
