    Happy retirement, Martin. You never shied from a challenge and I respect that quite a bit.

      All round good guy Murray. Very unlucky to not have a world title to his name.

      Happy retirement !

            Did someone tell Murray that in order to win fights one has to throw punches and not just walk with the hands up?

                You not seen Murray fight before then?

                Nah. Martin's a good dude and tough as hell, but that's all he's ever done. It did fine for him in the UK and once or twice (against Khomitsky for instance) a little generosity from the judges didn't hurt, but it wasn't a style that was never gonna win him fights on the road.

                And N'Dam's always been a good fighter - he just never learnt that defense in boxing involves more than just bouncing and weaving outta trouble. Luckily dude's also made of rubber.

                  You were smarter than me. I wanted to bet on Hassan myself, then decided to put money on Chisora by knockout and on a Warrington vs Frampton draw.

                    A prime example of someone who retires too late, his last couple of years really didn’t help his legacy at all.

                    Should have called it a day after the Abraham fight in my opinion, certainly after the groves fight.

                    I never found him very entertaining but he did put himself in against tougher opposition to be fair to him.
