Prediction
There isn’t much footage of Murray to get a read on him at all. Even having not having watched one of his fights I’m extremely confident in Borralho. Murray just seems like a pure regional guy that has trouble every time a stiffer challenge comes along. His opponents include records like 4-10 and 22-40 when he fought them.
Borralho on the other hand just beat Aaron Jeffery on the Contender Series last month. The Brazilian should’ve been awarded a contract for beating Jeffery alone. He wasn’t though and got a second opportunity in what seems like a gimmie fight for him. I’d bet Borralho because there is still value at the current line but also a stab on him ITD looks good too.
