He's an awesome gate keeper, like Gabe Rosado. I actually wouldn't mind seeing a battle of the gate keepers.

Solid fighter, but never good enough to ever get over the hump.

Murray beat Martinez, everybody scored it for Murray, so glossing it up with this (it never happened) late surge from Martinez being enough is incorrect. Also, I remember they were allowed video replay to score the second knockdown, and despite it being blatant, they still refused it. Which says it all really.

Murray with the two knockdowns won for me, and almost everybody else, around 115-111 (7-5 two knockdowns) It was Murray's best career performance, and showed Martinez for what he is, a good fighter, not a great one.
