    Strange isn’t it. On a different night with different judges, Murray might’ve had wins over Martinez, Sturm and Abraham. He beat Martinez in my opinion.

    Imagine he got the decisions in those fights, which you could make a valid case for. He would have had one of the best resume’s in recent British boxing, instead of being thought of as a nearly man and forgotten

    Just shows the fine line and small margins

    He was underrated because of it. People look at the record and not context.

      Yeah I thought he beat Martinez, that was the first fight Sergio began to look old. Think I actually had the Sturm fight level and I though Abraham just beat him. He’s very unlucky not be a world champion though, had he been in the home corner you have to think at least one of those 3 would have went his way.

        I agree with your verdict of the fights, but they’re the kind of fights that you couldn’t argue too much either way

          Yeah all were close, he’s very unlucky to wind up on the wrong end of the decision all three times.
