John Murray's next fight will apparently take place in the States (Mezaache may or may not be the opponent) which really bums me out, my plans for attending cards are going up in smoke so far this year. I'm desperate to see Murray-Mitchell however I can't see Warren risking his man unless Murray can pick up a lightweight title. At the rate he's moving, that could be a long shot. To make matters even worse, Mitchell-Katsidis could happen in Oz rather than London. How annoying!! Still, I have Haye-Ruiz to look forward to, shame the undercard is looking tepid, I was hoping Golden Boy were going to supply some talent.

They've shown all the Super Six fights so far and were set to show Abraham/Dirrell before it was postponed. Murray v Murray would be a cracker. My money is on Murray. ;) Speaking of John Murray, is there a better domestic fight right now than Murray v Mitchell? Barker v Macklin is the only one that I can think of that rivals it. Of course, neither fight will happen because those bouts sound just too good to be true. It says it all when us boxing fans are conditioned to expect the best fights not to happen. Still though, Mitchell v Katsidis is certainly nothing to be sniffed at. Think Primetime are showing it aren’t they?

That'd give the promoters a bit of a headache, bit like when the three Diaz's topped the lightweight ranks!! Froch-Kessler looks even money right now, Kessler was awful last time out yet should be able to find Froch way more easily than he did Ward. Froch's hitting his peak however whereas Kessler looked faded last time out, he's had a lot of fights. Damn shame terrestrial tv can't screen this one live.

Didn't get to see the Murray/Fagan card live but I watched it on TV. I think Ward beating Kessler was the worst thing that could have happened to Froch, as the Dane will not only be looking to win, but to prove a point. I wouldn't write Froch out though, not by a long shot. He's one of these fighters who just finds a way to win, no matter how ugly or unimpressive it may be. Looking forward to it though. Should be a cracker. I’m doing well mate. Didn’t get to see the Murray/Fagan card live but I watched it on TV.
