One opinion:
Back to Steve Kim‏ @steveucnlive 60m60 minutes ago

Just watched it, I thought Gabe Rosado did enough to beat M.Murray. Unfortunately that exchange rate overseas was against him #boxing

The outcome of every fight cannot possibly be claimed as a "robbery".

Murray defeated Rosado by a far greater margin than GGG beat Jacobs.

Only juust watched this fight in relay. good scrap. thought the best score was the draw (how I had it anyway.) Could've gone either way. Murray should try and cash in with a BJS bout as he will fail with any of the top middleweights.

Murray won a close fought tough fight for me by 1 or 2 points. The 119-109 score was a disgrace.

I think Murray is underrated. I have thought he looks quality ever since I watched him in prizefighter. A solid dedicated operator. I also thought he did the best against GGG prior to Jacobs.

Sadly like most of our Fighters he does not have the punch power to be elite.

Always does. I'll never watch another UK boxing event.
UK boxing is a joke. I never forgot when Enzo Maccarinelli fought Shane McPhilbin on one of honestly claimed allegedly Fwanks promotions.

Maccarinielli was knocked down in the first round, was clearly gone (he was the main event and clear favourite) and they rang the bell 47 seconds early to save him from first round knockout!!! In a British title fight!!!

I lost all respect for Fwank and UK boxing that night. I am from the UK. This a great look into how British Boxing promotion works, particularly Fwank and the one or two relevant fighters that actually agree to do business with him anymore. All about money and lining up the big payday over anything else at all costs.

The video is time stamped to the exact point for anyone who never saw this embarrassment. Zero integrity as this video proves.

There is no way BJS would fight him. Would be a great fight though and a pick em for sure.

Nah, BJS beats him easily. I think even the one that fought Akavov wins clear. Murray is pretty terrible.

I don't think it's sad. Murray is an awful fighter. When has he ever beaten an elite fighter clear? BJS outboxes him to an easy decision win, and I absolutely hate BJS. Murray is pretty average, though. Guy should have a loss on his record to Khomitsky.

When has BJS beaten an elite fighter clear. Khomitsky is way better than Akavov, and BJS almost lost to the latter.

He beat Eubanks Jr. and Andy Lee close but clear. Anyone saying any different doesn't know how to score a fight. No one in their right mind could score those fights for his opponent.

Please, BJS beats Murray easily, and as I said, I hate BJS.

Its a matter of opinion. I think to call Murray awful is unfair, he had fought much harder opponents then BJS and really only lost to elite level fighters. As I said I think he did pretty well against GGG.

I just dont get anyone backing BJS for anything, he is a standard allegedly fighter, easy route to no where. never looked impressive ever. Never had a top fight.

Andy Lee was poor on the night. Chris Eubank (subject to opinion) let him win 6 rounds and still was a split decision. Looked crap against Akavov.

Nah sorry, I disagree its a close fight between two even fighters. BJS has no stamina. Every fight I have ever seen him that goes distance (bar Andy Lee who I thought was so poor he could have even been paid off) he has looked poor and almost out on his feet at the end. He has been gifted decisions at British level on allegedly promotions that he lost in his earlier career.

Sorry I have watched every BJS fight and every Murray fight since his appearance on prizefighter and I think this is a close fight. Just my opinion.

If it was for the belt, Murray would probably win. He lacks motivations when facing lower level opposition, but against champions, he usually at his best. It would be a close fight though.
