I sort of agreed with the stoppage, Oisin was getting hit alot and his face was proof of that although if it was down to him he would carry on with two swollen over eyes.
so i was right then Deno?
think from what i have seen, Murray may be quick enough that he can get off whenever he wants and get out of range too. Fagan's taken a lot of shots over the years, 10 rounds is quite a long time to survive against a man who basically outclasses him, and alos, as its a title fight i have to assume Fagan will be going right at him and taking the fight to Murray- perhaps playing into the hands of the better boxer. know what i mean mate?
maybe i can't see him putting Fagan down for the ten-count, but i can definitely see some kind of TKO type deal. and from what i have seen Murray is pretty good at working to the body when his man covers up, which i think murray's quicker hands will have Fagan doing a lot of.

listen to your uncle CP mate
ah stop gloating, good call Murray looked good though, he can take a punch aswell - Fagan tagged him a few times with that big overhand right and Murray walked straight through it.
If his need was injured to that extent then surely he should have been able to know he wasn't going to be able to fight from almost the moment it happened(well next day), and should have contacted Brian Peters at that point allowing him to find a replacement and give plenty of notice.
Healy would of likely been the opponent anyway, but the extra 4 days notice or so might have helped him out and would of certainly meant he didn't go for a few pints on the Wednesday(when he received the call for the fight). Considering how close Fitzgerald-Healy was who knows what could have happened had Healy had a bit more time.
This is priceless it's like a note from his Mother
Dear Sir
Lee cannot do PE today because he has got a bad leg (again)

Has this set an awkward precedent Steve, everytime a boxer submits documentation regarding an injury will you publish it? Or is this a special concession for just for Murtagh? ('Yes Murtagh is a real nice guy')

John Murray has first shot at the dodgy-looking Mezaache though doesn't he?
So lads how far can Murray go? Is he that good for European level? (i.e. John Murray good?)
