Murray is one crybaby. He spent more time protesting then fighting. He’s got nowhere to go at Middleweight because he may get past guys like Garcia but anyone with a punch would knock him out.Garcia may have well just quit after the point deductions that were totally BS. Worst Ref I’ve seen in awhile. Belt line is not low especially since Murray wears his trunks up over his belly. Murray was also hitting low then. Such c*ap, ruins boxing and why do they only show 10 rounds.
Look at DailyMotion for full fights. Complete fights are over there but videos are spammed with ads.
Constant hugging by Murray. Panamanian ref obviously instructed to protect UK fighter.
