Thaxton v John Murray

i dont think there has been much chat about these two squaring off

Murray has been a pro for quite alot longer than Khan, and has had more bouts etc

whats your thoughts ?

Thaxton by KO.

Murray Is too easy to hit for a domestic veteran like Thaxton.

Yeah, I think Thaxton - although with Jon he is a bit of a timebomb the way he cuts up these days.

Do you think Murray has the potential to develop into a fighter to beat the likes of thaxton?

Maybe a bit further down the line, but not right now. Too easy to hit, and doesn't hit particularly hard.

Who is next in line for Thaxton incidentially?

Dont know, but Thaxton Earl would be entertaining

This will be a good fight, I think. I take Murray to just edge it.

I would favour Thaxton over Murray and strongly favour him over Earl. Am i the only one who thought Earl sounded punchy BEFORE he fought Katsidis?

Murray is new to the weight and along way from the likes of Thaxton.

Like lots here I think the situation with Khan is just plain silly, he has been built into a prospect before he has really shown anything as a pro, Murray has shown more but still not enough to really put him in the bracket of future champion.

Thaxton destroys either one...quite easilly also

he has always been a lightweight he just always claimed to be a super feather but in reality he could never make it

he boxed in the aba's at lightweight about 4 years ago
