Brandon Rios vs. John Murray set for Dec 3rd undercard

Guest

Quote :: All-action lightweight titlist Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios (28-0-1, 21 KOs) will make the second defense of his belt against England's John Murray (31-1, 18 KOs) on the HBO PPV undercard of the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito rematch Dec. 3 at Madison Square Garden. Top Rank's Carl Moretti told ESPN.com that he made a deal with Frank Warren, Murray's promoter, on Thursday. "It has to be an entertaining fight. Why? Because Brandon Rios doesn't know how to fight any other way," Moretti said. "He's clearly one of the most entertaining, crowd-pleasing fighters in the game today." Although Murray is coming off his lone defeat, an eighth-round knockout loss to Kevin Mitchell in July, it was a competitive, action-packed fight. The pay-per-view bouts feature fighters from several countries. Cotto is from Puerto Rico, Margarito from Mexico, Rios is a Mexican-American and Murray is from England. The other two televised fights feature Pawel Wolak (Poland) against Delvin Rodriguez (Dominican Republic) and Mike Jones (Philadelphia) against Sebastian Lujan (Argentina). "There will be so many different flags flying that night, you'll think your at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics," Moretti said. "Maybe we'll do the final press conference at the U.N."
