John is not the cleanest liver himself and is coming off a bad beating. If Scott is doing anything, he has to beat up John Murray and on Scott's home turf too. Its a great chance for Scott to get right back up there domestically.
100% agree Mickey
X3
I like John Murry he is very strong with imo one way of fighting. Thats come forward.... What a FIGHT this would be

It's only Harrison's issues over the past few years that give Murray a chance. Harrison would have beat him like an old carpet prime for prime. Guys who can box and move give Harrison trouble, not stationary targets.
If Harrison is in good condition, I fancy him to stop Murray. A big if.
Think it might just be a fight or two too early against a fighter with a high tempo style like murrays. people have said scott looks very fit, but i'd be looking for a decent test in the ring before taking that one.
Although scotts camp may see an opportunity with murrays last 2 defeats. the timing may be ideal. it's hard to call.
I'd like to see limond as a preparation for someone like murray. imo not quite there at murrays level, but a real test and a fight i would fancy scott to win if he still has 80-90% of what he once had

But in boxing terms it's a nonsense. He'd not live with Murray.
Then what's the point? Scott has said he wants to box for World honours again and Murray is a bit short of that. I think its a very good match. Nobody knows how Murray will look after his last two bouts.

Or Harrison after dishing out a one sided beating.
Its a risky fight for Harrison but one i'd take if its there. He could have ideally done with another tune up with a higher calibre opponent. Murray is still dangerous but hes been exposed and has found his level so in reality Harrison has more to lose here imo.

True, but Scott's last opponent didn't ask a single question of him.
So is there any point in the fight until he shows he can beat a Buckland or whatever?
Personally I think Lee McCalister would be a good fight, with Scottish fans winning all round. After the way he completely quit in his last fight, I'd pick Harrison in that one. Shafikov scared him witless and Harrison would do the same.
