    Does Arthur stand a chance here? Will he hear the final bell?

    I’ll be very surprised if he goes the distance, it’ll be over In 4 rounds

    If Bivol isn't motivated he might give a round or two away but I fully expect Bivol to beat up and stop Lyndon.

    I expect this to be the most boring fight of the night, and on a card full of heavyweights that would be quite the achievement.

    Lyndon Arthur always seems to appear like he wants to be anywhere other than a boxing ring, even when he wins easily.

    Bivol is far too talented, experienced, and levels above to be troubled by anything Arthur brings, there's nothing in his arsenal he hadn't seen (and beaten) before.


    Late corner stoppage for me, unless Bivol utilises his underrated power


    Either way, it's not one of the fights I'm really looking forward to on the card.

    This and the Hrgovic fight are the two which really let the card down a bit. Not expecting much from them at all.

    I am happy that Lyndon gets this big fight and gets a decent payday.

    Talent wise the gap between an A* level fighter and a C+ fighter is humongous, and Bivol will have fun in the ring. Arthur really doesn’t have the tools to trouble Bivol here.

    I'd imagine Arthur turns up and earns his money then probably checks out before taking damage.

    He doesn’t deserve any big money and he is probably being paid peanuts. Still, it will obviously be his biggest given that he’s taken the fight. The dude’s biggest two fights are against Yarde. The first fight Yarde had lost half his family in the run up and was terrible. Arthur was so bad people literally thought he was boxing with a broken hand. He got hit near the end and survived. People theorized that this would impact him in the rematch. Who knows if it did? But he fought like a scared kitten and went down and wanted no more. It was a dive. Let’s call it for what it was. He could easily have continued but he was looking for a way out. And Yarde is hardly some world beater. He’s 32 and the biggest win is Arthur, the rest are randoms scouted on boxrec. I hope Bivol is able to catch him with at least one hellacious Ruski power shot to the mandible before Arthur inevitably identifies a nice spot on the canvas. He’s the opposite of what British boxers are known for. Compare him to Carl Frock. It’s like night and day.

    He is getting KTFO and I hope for his sake that it is early.

    Lyndon Arthur looks a bit like a molerat, it's hard to unsee it. Bivol can stop this whenever he wants, he's an absolute machine.
