    Arthur is odd to watch, it's like he's literally not arsed which way the fight goes, if he wins, sound, if not, then ah well.

    Where's he going with his career? He's quite physically imposing, has a thudding jab, decent power.....yet he reminds me slightly of Daniel Dubois, in that he looks like he'd rather be doing something else, but heyho here I am now, so I'll kinda go through the motions.....

    Not making excuses but the ring looked tiny which doesn’t lend itself to Arthur’s best attributes. He is a strange fighter though.

    I wouldn't say Dubois looks like he'd rather be doing something else. Goes for the KO, likes to throw his punches and has lots of power.

    Trust me, there's been loads of occasions where he looks like he'd rather be doing something else

    I'm slightly too young to remember Pat Barrett's style, has he instilled same style in Zelda and Lyndon? I like Lyndon I just want him to crack on. He starts really slowly.

    I do always suspect his dad made him box though.

    Pat was a decent boxer but he could really punch, just take a look at his knockout of Efrem Calamatti i thought he had killed the guy, in his world title fight against Manning Galloway he looked like he was relying on catching him with one to end it, but Galloway was one slick boxer and boxed his ears off, he also wasn't the most disciplined and got involved with people he really shouldn't have which didn't help his cause.
    He could have achieved a lot more in the game i believe.
