[Nel has heart]

why

[servo]

Was thinking about this the other day. Would be Murray's relentnessness and pressure against Mitchell's quick and smart punching. I am a big Murray fan so would want him to win it but i think Mitchell's craftiness could earn him a points victory.

[Dan684]

Mitchell wins this. His love of eating leather would play right into Mitchells hands :deal

[Nel has heart]

Yep agree, Mitchell could out fight him and outbox him.....

[jonnyP]

no way mitchell beats murray, murray is like a bigger stronger johanson, mitchell is way overated

[shaun_brown]

Either way I think you'd get a rematch from this one.

[skel1983]

I think Mitchell can outbox Murray quite comfortably just depends what fight he wants to fight, if he wants a war Murray will be too strong imo.

Who has John Murray fought?

And don't say that joke Jon Thaxton who should be in a 4 rounder fight.

that you can call jono thaxton a joke is disrespectful and shows you have no idea about boxing :-(

The fact is John Murray has never been tested...ever. He was gifted a decision against some journeyman that sells ice cream and fought on one days notice. Mitchell has proved he can box, punch and fight, he has bags of heart and a chin too.

If it came to a brawl Mitchell still beats him..easy.

If it was a brawl id have big money on Murray being to tough for him, Mitchell was out on his feet against Johanasen and Mitchells corner were about to throw the towel in. I think Kev should use the Mcalister blue print use his jab and not get involved to much becuase if he does imo he gets taken out late.

[Beeston Brawler]

I'd confidently put a few quid on Mitchell.

Granted he was nearly out against Johanneson, but he showed real heart to stay in there and finish the job off.

Murray has potential, but hasn't faced anybody as good as Johanneson or Prescott - the biggest puncher he has faced is a shot Thaxton, who took a round off him before being harshly stopped.

It's not a fight I see happening, Mitchell has really gotten his career back on track and is lined up to face Katsidis.... Murray has beaten plenty of guys that have been chewed up by Khan and Thaxton, such as Lawton for example, and still doesn't have anything lined up.

[Davies]

Mitchell would win,

I would like to see Murray tested now though

[Lazarus]

I'm talking about the Thaxton he fought now. - The shot to bits one. Do you remember that?

[robpalmer135]

Mitchell late stoppage. classic fight though

Thats down to the shit promoting of hennessey, IMO it would be a great fight and i dont see any fighter winning by ko, id go for mitchell by 2-3 rounds points.

[Mazallan]

This would be a great fight. Murray is really slacking with Hennesey.


Not long ago I would have bet big on Murray but with his weight and with him not fighting anymore I now have to go with the classy cocney who is in form. This could be an eliminator to see who gets to polish Khans turds.

[DOM5153]

I see Mitchell winning comfortably, it would be a great warm up fight before a crack at at Katsidis IMO

[skel1983]

Funny how things change, before the Pescott fight most said Murray would smash Mitchell, now Mitchell beats the limited Prescott he beats Murray easily lol No chance.

[abzmanc]

Why is no one screaming for this fight to be made? It certainly should be. The two leading domestic names at Lightweight. Lets get it made. Wont happen though as we all know.

That's because hardly anyone had heard of Kevin Mitchell. He showed great skills in with Prescott. And have you seen the agressive side to Mitchell? He's a good fighter. And the last fight he had, he KO'd his last opponent in 2.

He'd beat Murray.

No one had heard of Kevin Mitchell hahahaha, are you fucking serious?? lol Mitchell as been hyped up since the day he turned pro. Mate give your head a wobble his last fight was a fucking mis match if the highest order. The same guy he knocked out in 2 rounds was a tomato can who has been fighting 6 rounders, the guy Mendoza fought before Mitchell was 0-15-4 haha.


Still laughing at no one had heard of Mitchell before the Prescott fight :rofl:rofl

Exactly. It might happen in years when there both at the end of their careers coming of losses....such a heavy old shame...:verysad:verysad:verysad

let Murry get a worthy scalp on his record, then when the Mighty Mitchell beats kats........ 1st defence Mitchell v Murry absolute war........

[BIG WORM]

Good fight, i think Mitchell would get to him with better punching and wear him down in the mid stages.....

Competitive fight though until Murray is on his back !!!

[achillesthegreat]

Still a good fight but Mitchell has upped his game for the second fight in a row. It seems to be coming together for him now.

As much as i'd love to see this fight, it'd wouldn't make any sense to stage it now.
Murray is the mandatory for the EBU lightweight title.
Mitchell is the mandatory for the WBO lightweight title.
Why would either jeopardise/reject their shot at major titles?
Both of them would like the kind of fights that get them discussed outside of British circles; a domestic showdown wouldn't really help them on this front.

Despite the fact Murray hasn't been tested doesn't mean you should write him off. Although i would put money on Mitchell, Murray is a good boxer who has been screaming out for fights in the past-but the best hennessey could offer last time out was Thaxton.

I agree with this. I think Murray taking this fight would be a serious risk. Love going to see him fight, but i think Mitchell would be too big of a step up at this point when he could take the EBU off Mezaache instead and build himself up that way.(if someone ever sorts the bloody fight out).

[KingCobra]

Mitchell would win decisively. He has the toughness of Murray but is considerably more skillful and smarter in the ring. I could see Mitchell getting the stoppage.

well if Mitchell is crap like your saying then Murray is shockingly crap. I personaly believe neither is true, i just see Mitchell as the superior boxer. Murrays style is absoluley made for Mitchell. Murray seems to try and out tough his opponent, i think that would be suicide against Mitchell who has proven (in his last fight) he can use his opponents energy against them by timing them on the way in. Finally im not even sure if Murrays chin has been properly tested, if you were to push me for a fight prediction i would say Mitchell wins by 10th round TKO:smoke

[antcull]

This would all depend on what type of fight it is.....Murray would have to bring Mitchell in to trade to have a chance here and I feel he could do that as he applies pressure far better than Prescott..

Could Kevin really avoid a war here? We all know he boxed smartly v Prescott but is that version here to stay or would he revert back to the old Kev against Murray?

It is hard to eliminate the Al-Hamidi bout from my mind when thinking about Murray though...he really should not have struggled in that one.

I predict a close points win for Kev after being dropped.....would love to see it one day :thumbsup
