Martin Murray has been unlucky imo. On the wrong end of debatable decisions against Sturm and then Martinez (in particular) that cost him world titles and then he ran up against a peak GGG.

Murray definitely isn't unlucky., he's had a ridiculous number of opportunities compared to many other fighters of a similar calibre or better. Much like Howard Eastman, just never showed the ability to step it up when it really mattered.

Sturm wasn't a debatable decision.

Murray was lucky to get the draw as Sturm was with Universum not long before that fight, whose fighter won if they survived to the final bell.

No, I completely forgot about Daws' actual last crack at the European title :doh: That was a fair decision.

I meant Lenny's loss to the Spanish guy. Extremely harsh call from the ref ruling a headbut and disqualifying him.
