    This is an interesting match up. Could it be another Thaxton v Glover result, or will the smaller better fighter prevail?

    I think this is a strange choice of fight for Arthur, Wright is tricky and Arthur has only done a round of boxing in the last 18 mths, Arthur needs to get him finger out he's 32!

    Nigel Wright is a good fighter and i could see a upset coming up in this one, far to worried about the lack of action that Alex Arthur has had.

    I agree Arthur looked like somthing special before the Gomez fight, but has been pretty **** ever since, Wright could cause a upset here.

    Hes won a British, Commenwealth, European and World titles since the Gomez loss, I dont think you could do all that looking awful since.

    I dont mean he is **** I just meant compared to how I thought his carear was going to go he has been ****, I thought he was going to be really special but he's not been, also he never won a world title he was given it and then lost it on his first defence against a guy who wasnt worls class and who then went on to lose it in his first defence so I dont really think AA can even be called a former world champ.

    Arthur is a very good European level fighter who should have had better fights around the world level but at this weight he may really struggle against Wright. Great fight though.
     
  8. Alex Arthur fighting at LWW on the same bill as Amir Khan defends his LWW world title :think

    i think Arthur should just retire his career has barely ever got off 1st gear with all his inactivity recently and it had cost him

    He blames his inactivity on a blood disorder that he says has been cured now, but he seems better now & is enjoying his training again judging by these pics
