Comments Thread For: Martin Murray Retires From Boxing After Loss To N'Dam

[Citizen Koba]

Good time to retire.

He's been a bit unlucky. On another night with other judges, he might have wins over Martinez and Sturm, maybe even Abraham, although i felt he lost to Abraham, but seen them go the other way.

Fine margins though, a few close decisions the other way and you would be looking at a world champ with a solid resume, but that's boxing.

All that said, he was never entertaining really and i never really cared about watching him fight but he was a solid fighter and turned his life around with boxing after 4 jail terms. Never ducked a challenge and has probably made some decent money.

I never thought he beat Sturm either - it's like one of those weird myths that seemed to get started on the back of Macklin getting shafted against Sturm. If anything I thought the judges were overgenerous to Murray with the draw - possibly as some kind of confused way of compensating for the Macklin travesty.
