Am I the only one?

Whoose tipping Steve Murray to beat Graham Earl in the British leg of the PPV.

I don't really buy that Murray is this shot fight, I think he lost to very good fighter (better than Earl) on the top of their game (in Vanzie and Ramanov). I also think Earl caught Murray a little cold in the fight and the result was a little freakish. I mean, Earl isn't a huge puncher normally and Murray normally has an excellent chin. I just think this fight is going to be a lot more interesting.

I think the pressure is on Earl this time to perform following his controversial wins vs Vanzie. I think Murray can out work him and if Vanzie can hurt him, then so can Murray.

Murray KO 6 is my pick.

Yeah excellent pick, well done to Earl showed tremendous heart, chin and ability last night. I believe the cuts played ahuge factor cause Murray was winning on my card up untill the first cut (which was contest threatening) and then his boxing went out of the window.

However, not taking anything away from Earl who boxed very well from the 4th and may well have done that with or without Murray's cuts. Spoke very well afterwards.

Would love to see Earl vs Cook and the winner to fight Vanzie, but lets not write off Murray to comeback.

Yeah it's about time Cook forget his IBO dream or whatever paper weight title he is fighting for and got in there with Vanzie, Earl, Murray etc and we can start to sort out some sort of pecking order.
