Martinez vs Murray

[and the NEW]

The Garcia vs Judah thread is up and this fight is on the same weekend.

Who you got? A few are thinking that Judah may upset Garcia, but I personally think this fight has a greater chance of being the upset....

Oh, Martinez is fighting this weekend? On HBO?

Didn't know that... Peter Quillin is fighting on the Garcia-Judah undercard.

I think we've got the Martinez-Murray card in Britain, but not Judah-Garcia.


I think I'd prefer the latter, as Garcia is a favourite of mine....but I'm semi-interested in seeing if Murray can at least push Martinez.

Yeah, Quillin might be the most interesting fighter of the night. I don't think I've ever read so much about someone I've never actually seen fight.

Quillin is good, but the top middles would starch him.

The angle on every Martinez fight will be whether he gets old overnight. The logic behind this is that he's a fighter who relies on reflexes, quick hands and foot speed. Once that slows down he's done for. I don't think this happens tonight though.

Murray is a good fighter but I don't think that 'good' is enough to beat Martinez, whose blend of hand speed. agility, power and conditioning is just too much for a lot of these conventional fighters. Then again, Murray could come in with a perfect game plan and beat Martinez, but I'm not expecting it.

Top Mids, like who? Quillen is pretty good. When I first saw him fight about 2 years ago, he was raw and fought with a very wild rugged style. Dude has come a looong way since then. He's very good and he's on par with any of the top guys at 160. In fact I think he beats Martinez and goes life in death with this GGG guy that everyone seems to think is the 2nd coming of Marvin Hagler.
