Sarah Murphy <\/a>believes fight fans will see a sharper, more dangerous version of her when she steps through the ropes on February 7.<\/p>\n

The young starlet makes only her second professional appearance on a JB Promotions Proving Ground bill at Leopardstown Racecourse and goes into the fight full of confidence. <\/p>\n

The 19-year-old former underage standout believes she has improved since her National Stadium debut and said the developments will be on display come come Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going out to put on a show,\u201d she said when speaking to Irish-boxing.com. \u201cMy power, my speed \u2013 everything has hit a point that hasn\u2019t hit before, and I can\u2019t wait to show it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Kildare native\u2019s first outing was less about chasing a stoppage and more about gaining rounds, experience and showing composure under the bright lights. Now, with one fight under her belt, the focus shifts toward evolution rather than introduction.<\/p>\n

Her opponent Katherine Quintana<\/a> represents a winnable but testing fight the latter of which Murphy welcomes rather than avoids.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve only seen one fight of hers,\u201d she explained. \u201cI let my team look after the rest. Everything we\u2019ve done in camp, the pads, the sparring, the bag work \u2013 it\u2019s all been built around getting the job done on the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preparation has been relentless. Murphy travelled across the country for high-level sparring, sharing rounds with elite Irish names such as Zara Breslin, Linda Desmond and Christina Desmond. The experience, she says, has raised both her standards and expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe quality of sparring stepped up massively,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd this time it\u2019s been another level again, so I feel more than ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love training. Even on the days you don\u2019t want to go in, you feel amazing after it. The intensity has increased massively and I\u2019m loving it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now 1-0 and chasing a strong start to her first full year in the paid ranks, the former St Brigid star\u2019s message to fans is simple.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust be ready. It\u2019s going to be a night to remember.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah Murphy believes fight fans will see a sharper, more dangerous version of her when she steps through…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,186520,82],"class_list":["post-453975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sarah-murphy","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
