At 20 he's still growing and will get stronger and more powerful.......

His power is not bad at all. If he fought the guys Mitchells been fighting he'd be 20-0 (20) and people would be calling him a monster puncher. You can tell he hits quite hard cause he digs the shots in and they do have an effect. He's miles ahead of Mitchell imo, Mitchell isn't good enough to make his style work at the top level...

That was a stirling test for Murray at this stage of his career. I honestly think he went into that fight with, at best, a 50-50 chance of winning. How many other boxers, at 20 years of age, can say that?

If I'm being honest I think the other guy should have won, because It wasn't through foul tactics that Murray was stopped, but that's just a personal thing, and that said, I had Murray a handy winner on the scorecards, despite some uncomfortable moments.

It's how he dealt with the whole experience that impressed me so much. Sky's the limit for this no-nonsence performer. 8)

WELL SAID MATE, SOMETIMES WE CRITICISE TOO MUCH.

we criticise if he struggles with an opponenet in a real 50 50 match, then we moan if he is fighting stuiffs but looks good.

cant have it both ways. You want competetive match ups then thats just what they will be.

it was a tremendous perfromance for a guy who is only 20.

get behind the lad he could be the biznezz. :TU:

What I like most about him was his attitude, very mature and confident but with none of the arrogance which Mitchell gives off.... bit of a throw back to the better days imo...

He could go for a British title in the next year or 18 months... no need to rush him....
