I enjoyed that fight, and he has an exciting style which the Yanks seemed to appreciate. i was surprised he didn't manage to stop the Walker, but good job done none the less.

Great experience for him! :TU:

Very good performance which the audience seemed to enjoy :box:

Probably better if he stays over there to develope?

Top marks in concentration, defence, punch picking, etc. Only thing to really be concerned about is his punching power - but maybe that will increase with age.

The American public took a shine to jon Murray as he stole the limelight on the undercard , Showtime are keen to have him back in the us on their showbox programe as jon who is still only 20 showed maturity beyond his age last night with a well disciplined performance.

Very disciplined performance. I think if he pushed, he would have GOT the stoppage. But that aint what he was about. I was happier to see a patient, and systematic dismantling rather than a rushed stoppage. Wisdom beyond his years.

Lets hope he gets stronger as he gets older, so then he can smash Mitchell good!!!

Got not gotten :evil: Lol, how come so many are using American words all of a sudden :roll:

Anyway Murray looked good, his punch picking is good and he has tightened up since the Guebbas fight. His defence still needs working on a bit but generally everything else looks sound enough, his style is very pleasing to the eye and i am sure with more exposure on Showtime he can turn out to be a very decent prospect indeed.

I thought he looked excellent and very mature.

He is still young and his KO power may start to develop more, and when it does :evil: the division in Britain will have lots of trouble :TU:

Very good performance, if I was being hyper critical I would like to see a bit more movement and him being less upright - but his defence was excellent so really the notes I made were not really relevant.

I thought his power was okay and his strength was very good.

Excellent display overall.
