Re: Upset of the night ?
Are you asking us to pick which of the three is most or least likely?

Re: Upset of the night ?
Khan losing would be the biggest shock because he is still not far from top class and Diaz slightly past his best and not top-flight in his prime.
Murray winning would be the next most surprising because, after all, he is going in with a P4P calibre guy, but one who is now in his late 30s, so maybe, just maybe.
Harrison winning would still be a surprise, but the least of the three, because Wilder has been so protected.
Murray winning would be the next most surprising because, after all, he is going in with a P4P calibre guy, but one who is now in his late 30s, so maybe, just maybe.
Harrison winning would still be a surprise, but the least of the three, because Wilder has been so protected.

So basically which result from the 3 fights tonight would supprise YOU most, obviously I've got khan down as loosing or it wouldn't be a potential shock at all.
Re: Upset of the night ?
Im surprised you've got Khan down as being the biggest shock of the three. It's true that he's not far off top class, however its undeniable that he has a suspect chin and whilst Diaz is past his best and not elite he still can punch somewhat and he held Porter who's an unbeaten prospect to a draw. I think Murray would be the biggest shock myself as he's not the biggest puncher and I dont see him being able to stop Martinez or outbox him over 12 rounds. Could be wrong though!oliverfennell wrote:Khan losing would be the biggest shock because he is still not far from top class and Diaz slightly past his best and not top-flight in his prime.

Re: Upset of the night ?
I wonder what the combined odds of Murray to win, Harrison to win and khan to lose tonight are ?
Re: Upset of the night ?
Murray would be a huge shock. Especially in Argentina.

Re: Upset of the night ?
If it runs the same as last week, every favourite will win.
How daft are we going to look in the morning when Audley gets chinned in 1!

Re: Upset of the night ?
Martinez is old, Wilders completely untested and Khan's defence is still the same as it ever was. Some sort of case could be made for the underdogs here, however unlikely.
I'd have to pick the Martinez v Murray as the biggest upset shock.

I think Khan wins in 5, Wilder in 3, and Murray loses a close UD. No upsets!Kilburn wrote:Martinez is old, Wilders completely untested and Khan's defence is still the same as it ever was. Some sort of case could be made for the underdogs here, however unlikely.

Re: Upset of the night ?
Murray will stop Martinez late.
Harrison will get stopped by Wilder in the 7th.
Khan should win easily enough.

And funnily and strangely enough, I was at Martinez's last fight in Argentina which was
11 years ago.
Re: Upset of the night ?
Im just teasing haha. No I just dont see Murray being a big enough puncher to stop Martinez who has stood up to Pavliks punches, Chavez jnrs punches *aside from the 12th round* and Macklins. All those guys hit harder than Murray I reckon and they couldnt stop Martinez. Also I think Murray is going to eat a lot shots in the process I think.Fat Git wrote:Why do you think I am smoking anything?

Re: Upset of the night ?
But Chavez didn't put any pressure on him to late on, I just think at Martinez's age and the pressure Murray will put on him - I mean, this is my heart ruling my head here, I remember him as a young kid and was boxing as an amateur at St Helens Glass - I want him to do it, I think he can do it with his style, he might lose for sure - that is where the smart money is but I have this nagging feeling he is going to do it in grand style!columbo wrote:Im just teasing haha.

Well if he does it would be an awesome win for sure!

Re: Upset of the night ?
It would be a fantastic result for Murray if he won, but I haven't seen anything from him to suggest that he is capable of doing the job. I agree with those of you who have said that Murray's chances lie in the possibility of Martinez having grown old overnight, however, if Murray were to win he would be required to stay at the top level in his subsequent fights, which would allow us to see what he is made of. Best of luck to him tonight.
