what was he thinking when he just stood there while murray punched him in the face?jimglen wrote:What a _ucken diddy, all McAllister had to do was BOX and he throws away a possible decision.
A good 'Slap in the Face' from his cornermen might have smartened him up... now he falls into the pages of never been.
Stupid Lad!
It's a dangerous fight but I pick Murray to grind him down in what could be a classic. Murray won't walk straight in like Meager did.Tommy Gunn13 wrote:terminator wrote:Thaxton would batter Murray
I dont know if Thaxton would batter Murray,but Murray gets caught by a lot of shots&Thaxton packs the power
Really enjoyed tonights fight tho
Yeah, these are the good fights to move fighters onward. I was very pleased with Murray's performance - he had less trouble than I anticipated. IMO pressure fighters are often made to look slow, but they sort of come on line a virus and do their job when they break the boxers down. Figured that if Murray was going to slip up, it would have been tonight due to the speed and style. Also, he would've beaten Fewkes.black panther wrote:I agree Murray got better as the fight went on - I suppose I just felt he could have made the fight easier by jabbing more on his way in and letting the shots go in combinations as opposed to trying to time McAllister's jabs with single right hands. As you say good learning fight for him - I'd like to see Murray in with Lawton next as Lawton likes to box from the outside as well so we can see if Murray has learned from this fight and can be more consistent with his body attack.Autobarn wrote:But - Murray won the fight. He takes the role of aggressor, and he did in fact step in with some hard jabs. Despite the roles, McAllister showed he could grit it out, and Murray showed competence as a boxer. Pressure fighters have to take shots as they come in, but I was impressed how Murray blocked a lot of shots, and timed McAllister, and in the end the pressure worked.
McAllister was quite a lot faster, so you have to slow down the fast fighter,to the body etc, and this is what ended up happening.
Regardless of what anyone thinks - great learning fight, that. For both fighters.
Hope Murray can be kept busy. And like I say, hopefully McAllister is back on TV soon.
Yes. His dad was a pro boxer/bare knuckle fighter called 'Gypsy' John Fury.sg1985 wrote:is tyson fury his real name?
he may aswell be called....boxey mcknockout
He won the English ABAs in his first senior season and was pushing for an opportunity to qualify for Beijing but the ABA sensibly went with the more experienced Price (who ended up getting a bronze).sg1985 wrote:i just watched his first fight on youtube they mentioned him fighting as a super heavyweight in the amateurs do you know anything about thisTerribleTerry wrote:Yes.

I guess he was an admirer of the Brooklyn native..
With a name like that and coming from gypsy stock, young Tyson was always going to have to give boxing ago..
I think you will find Murray had a game plan and executed it perfectly, McAllister also had a game plan but couldn't sustain it for 12 rounds.emma wrote:what was he thinking when he just stood there while murray punched him in the face?jimglen wrote:What a _ucken diddy, all McAllister had to do was BOX and he throws away a possible decision.

I agree with this, i think murry lost to youseff al hamidi, limond doesnt bleed as easily as mcallister. Murray will never be a "proper world titlist" he might fight at european level but his style and lack of a plan B will always limit himstujones wrote:Jayc and others.
I don't think the negativity is particularly harsh, remember Murray has been hyped as a prospect who is not only domestic class but will go on to win honours at world level.
You don't lose rounds to McAllister, no matter how awkard he is, if you are "world class" prospect.
Khan is so much stronger, quicker, hit harder than McAlister.... yes, I am not saying Khan is a concussive 1 punch KO artist - but McAlister is a complete non puncher.
I think Limond beats Murray and I think Khan knocks him out, he is far to slow.
He's good domestic level fighter, but thats it.
Well said.jayc wrote:Seems a bit harsh on john here, just back from the fight and seriosusly if anyone is wrong for john its macallister yet he still wore him down and stopped him. For me thAT was a very impressive performence against a guy who isnt easy to beat. Well done. Thaxton fight will be a cracker but im picking murray to be a bit too young and hungry. Fierce fighter.

- you can't lose 2 rds, 3 rds? (Carl Froch, current WBC champ, lost some rds to Magee and even Dale Westerman, no?)wrong magee... Brian is a gate keeper to world class IMO.SexySouthPaw wrote:How can a fighter who darnk alcohol and smoked ciggys ever acheive anything.He was top at domestic level only.
