He fight has been taken off of the dec 8th 'Christmas Cracker' bill
Had potential to be a great fight

Bollocks. This is the main fight I bought tickets for.

Cheers, Frank. :-(

Not anything to do with frank, Murray failed a BBBoC medical

Sounds like Franks doing

Do you know what was wrong with him? Gutted that this is off, and doubt he would have pulled out lightly, Murray needs this fight.

Is it standard procedure for a boxer to have BBBoC medical at this stage prior to a fight? Hope Murray is ok.

 

[Holmes]

Part of me thinks that Murray may never come back again. If this fight falls through and he 'gets on it' over Xmas I see him fading away I really do. He'll come back and get hammered and then fade away. Quote this and lets see.

I'd say it might be about Weight, he always looks drawn and cutting weight may have been an issue. Conjecture on my part but likely imo.

 

[Vano-irons]

I've been waiting for this too happen since we heard about Murray's situation with Gallagher

 

[Roe]

The whole situation sounded a bit dodgy from the start. Always one of those fights that there was a fair chance it wasn't going to happen IMO.

Shame though would've been a good fight.

@JohnMurray84 Can you reveal what you failed medical? To much blood in your Alcohol stream:0)

So, Rees is now at a loose end following a training camp.

Burns is still without an opponent for the following week.

Why don't Frank man up, drop the options he wants on Rees and make the fight.

I fucking knew it. :-(

Options are one thging but the purse is poor too. If I was camp Rees holding a European belt fighting a champ I'd want a 6 figure purse. £50k + options is tight to be fair. Only fight I wanna see Burns take domestically is Rees and after that it really does have to be Broner. If he doesn't try to unify next year I am done watching, hearing or reading about Burns.

John's had an injury since the Rios fight, he thought he'd be able pass the medical but that's not the case. Not sure what will happen now, unless the injury goes, but he's had it for nearly a year now so not sure it will. I don't want to say what the injury is because I've not found out why he's failed the medical yet, so until I know for sure he could of failed it for something else

I know exactly why he failed the medical, but I'm not saying anything until it's public knowledge.... But I know.

I just don't think it's fair to say why he's pulled out when he's telling people himself, but the injury I am talking about about he sustained in the Rios fight

I was just pulling your plonker.

 

[BoxingAnalyst]

Fucks sake, was looking forward to this.

Hopefully Frank makes a better offer for Rees to fight Burns.
