Rios was just better at everything than Murray. He is pretty much Murray squared. The first 6 were fairly even both landing big but eventually Rios' strength and greater punching power played a big part. Murray's defence will always let him down above domestic level, he needs to get head movement!! Rees-Murray would because cracker for the British

Murray-Rees is a great shout and a genuine 50-50 fights plus Rees wouldn't have that extra power to damage him as much as a Rios or Mitchell have.

I read yesterday that Murrays take was $50k on top of UK TV revenue. Given that his promoter is also a major shareholder in the TV company that televised the fight, is this not a massive conflict of interest that may result in boxers losing out? For instance, what would stop allegedly "paying" FWP a token £1 for rights to a future fight, thereby reducing the potential earnings of FWP fighters, while the promoter doesn't lose out?
