MARTIN Murray made it two from two at super-middleweight level with victory in Manchester.
The pride of St Helens stopped Croatian Mirzet Bajrektraevic in the fifth round after dominating the contest.
He was much the sharper and looked comfortable with superior ring craft, hand speed and punching power.
The referee stepped in front of Bajrektarevic to save him from any more shots and although the traffic was becoming more and more one way the two fighters and many at ringside felt the contest was ended prematurely.
