Martin Murray must have impressed and is now landing more big fights by the looks of it.

Fancy him to finally get the nod against a world class fighter this time round.

Where will it be held? It fell through the first time because Martin couldn't enter the country

It's not that he couldn't get in the country its that they didn't have enough time to sort one out

Ah ok Finn that make sense. Mark I thought he was barred from entering America because of criminal record?

No it just takes forever to sort out

It's a visa issue which I'm sure can be sorted and if the fight happens I think could well be Mexico City or Texas!! Hopefully it will happen and great to see Martins fan base growing he a good guy who is dedicated and humble 3rd time lucky

Great news, I hope it all gets sorted it should be a cracking fight :-)

Murray will need at least a double knockout to get wins against local heroes in Mexico City and Buenas Aires.
Now that he did so well against Martinez they could at least bring him home for a shot.

Total mismatch, Murray is the most over rated fighter in the game Chavez wins by ko.

holy fornicate ................... a fishing world record!!!!!!

As long as it is not a catchweight Murray will be ok, but if not....

Chavez may well be a juicer, we know he has cheated before.

Agree with that.

I have to go with a Chavez stoppage here. Totally differentr fighter to Sturm and Martinez. This is the wrong fight for Murray. His best bet would be against Geale, although I think Geale is an excellent boxer, his style would be best suited to Murray.

I dunno, with Murray's defence how is Chavez Jr going to land very much clean on him? Martinez struggled to and his accuracy/skills are far ahead of Chavez Jr.

Murray in my opinion won the fight against Martinez by a round but it was a close fight and home fighter always has the edge. I think he beats Chavez Jr. He is underrated by many in the boxing world. I think if he beats Chavez Jr. he should be looking at Geale or winner of Golovkin-Macklin.

Funny, I was about to say the same about Chavez. Seriously overhyped IMO. Go on murray.

Geale isnt all that. He got outboxed by Anthony Mundine for crying outloud in their first fight.

Chavez will put on a lot of pressure though. It wont be like Martinez who backs off and counters and throws fast combo's and then gets out of harms way. Chavez will be on top of him roughing him up on the inside.

Given 2 decent showings against world class opponents and the domestic rivals swerving him i'd say he has proved himself worthy of being highly rated.

Did u not see martin rough Martinez? Chavez yes may be strong and big but martin is like a bear very physically strong and Chavez gets hit too much ?? Martin can box going forward or backwards I'm sure all the fighters who have sparred him over the years can vouch that

Murray can win this, but he needs to adjust his guard and cover up that body to do it as Chavez will work it the minute he can see it up close.

Stick and move for 12 rounds is his est bet. Jr will get dissinterested hitting thin air.

2 decent showings = a draw and a loss but eh he has beaten 13-0 council worker from south america and schooled a 20yr old 8-0 college student, Seriously Macklin or Barker would bat him Froch, Groves or Degale would eat him alive I would even go as far to say Saunders would beat him.
