When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Are they going to fight on Froch's undercard, or on another show?
Or are they being left to rot?

Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Is becoming a bit of a joke all this really isnt it?
Hennessy's rapport with the public is pathetic.
Let us fans know whats happening.

Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?

Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Funny, its only about 12 months ago we were getting HS press releases about twice daily.. think we all started moaning about them
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Yeah! I'm sure HS Press will come out when they are scheduled to fight again, so I wouldn't panic.Wales wrote:Funny, its only about 12 months ago we were getting HS press releases about twice daily.. think we all started moaning about them

Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
They need to be fighting much more regulary. O'Donnell is young and has loads of potensial, Barker need's to either move up in class or clear up the domestic scene and Murray should be moved on to the European scene now (or maybe a warm up now)
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Bad promotion if you ask me - I can see Murray especially leaving soon, probably to a certain former LWW world champ!!
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
isnt murry still figthing for the euro belt?
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
purse bids for murray fight are tomorrow
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
According to Gallaghers Facebook page Murrays unlucky ?? http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref ... =679403541
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
It looks like O'Donnell might get stripped of his Commonwealth title. These guys are going backwards at the moment.John O’Donnell’s status as Commonwealth welterweight champion is in doubt. A statement from the Commonwealth Council released yesterday said: “The future status of champion John O’Donnell will be considered during the Spring Meeting of the CBC on 20th and 21st April following the non fulfilment of the mandatory defence against Ghana’s Philip Kotey which the CBC had been advised would be taking place on 5th March.”

Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
surprised murray hasn't jumped ship yet.
he deserves better than this.
go with warren and try and force a mitchell fight.
or even hatton could help his local profile no end.
going nowhere with henessy tbh.

Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Murray simply has to get away. Built up such a head of steam, culminating in the Thaxton win, and then....... nothing.
I'm sure Hennessey will cite the lack of a TV deal as the reason for why his guys aren't fighting regularly enough, but if he can't help them, then they really should be looking elsewhere.

warren has tv.
hatton has tv.
frank maloney has tv.
barry hearn has tv.
what does meaty mick have? junior witter.
i think it's a shame.
hennessy should get someone on board with his stable.
but he hasn't yet and that's affecting murray's career.

Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
I liked Hennessy's ITV shows they were all quality and some really decent live fights. But these guys are all top fighters and they arent getting any action, they need some kind of short term deal with Sky I think.
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Murray might be fighting Mcallister for EBU title now other opponent pulled out I read on boxing scene. I not sure if we allowed to post it onto here.

I didn't have o donnell winning against Watson in the first place an i think he should be stripped an Watson should fight kotey for the vacant title !
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Another backward step for Murray if it happens. He's already beaten Mcalister, he needs to be moving up in class, not backwards.leforge wrote:Murray might be fighting Mcallister for EBU title now other opponent pulled out I read on boxing scene. I not sure if we allowed to post it onto here.
Hennessay's shows were good to be fair, but he's definitely punching above his weight with the boxers he has. If with the talent he has he can't get a TV deal you gotta question the guy himself, regardless about whether Sky have a full quota of boxing.
Barker, Murray etc deserve better
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Gallagher said they might look at a British defence against Martin Gethin.
Re: When are Murray, Barker and O'Donnell going to fight again?
Hasn't anyone on this thread picked up on the fact Hennessy went out and won the purse bid for O'Donnell vs Brook but that's been mothballed now on Brook's part ?
Shouldn't Simon Block be asked about that?
In the meantime this African guy has pissed about sorting out whether or not he is medically fit to box and has missed deadline after deadline to return the information.
