John Simpson was offered the fight but turned it down so he could gain a Lonsdale belt for keeps(good decision imo) . Poor opponent for Arthur .
Arthur by KO In less than 5 rounds. I remember when Foster Sr wrote to Boxing News complaining about the criticism Jr gets for winning the winning the WBU and how he never went for the British.
Damn right.:smoke He couldn't deal with Matthews so how will he deal with Arthur whos becoming world class.
Its a pretty poor fight IMO max. Warren should be getting Arthur better fights than this.Of course we could be wrong & Foster jnr could give Arthur a good fight. I seriously doubt it though. & with Guzman looking like making the weight easily for his next defence(another Warren lie that Joan was too fat & would have to give up his WBO title thus handing it over to Arthur) its time Alex ditched the interim title, & chase another version of the belt.
Aye, thats one way to describe it! Any word on yer boy Baz maka? Im itching to see him come back all guns blazing!
aye m8. he's entertainin the toffs at dalziel park country club next friday, he's fightin arek malek a polish guy. tommy gilmours co promoting the show with the owner of the country club, £100 a ticket so i'll no be at that one am afraid, mark hastie and charlie (paul) king are on the show as well. am sure he'll blast back ma man, al keep you posted wae some updates etc..........:good
aah cheers for the info Maka my good man, at a hundred quid a throw I wont be there either unless I dip the missus purse Good to see hes coming back, & tell him the scottish boys on ESB are rooting for him Maka:good
Arthur v Simpson would have been one fight I'd have really looked forward to. Hope Simpson wins the Lonsdale outright!
****, i was going to go to the fight as well down at the meadowbank stadium... Anyone know what the rest of the card is?
Kenny Anderson is fighting on it, not sure who against though. Can't say I know too much about Foster...seems like he has a decent record, but by the chat here it is a mis-match? To be fair, I didn't think Warren would be putting Arthur in with a dangerous opponent just now. Thought he'd give him a fight to take up time until the Guzman issue is sorted one way or the other.
