    Im so glad that Im not one of those dumb ****s that support a boxer just because he`s from the same country as me... THANK **** after that embarassment last night.
    Arthur is only slightly less embarassing than that waster Scott Harrison - the true definition of a *****.

    Why cant Scotland produce any TRUE world class fighters since Buchanan ? who knows & who cares.

    Amir Kahn - this was on the cards, especially after seeing the way he struggled with the very limited & light punching Limond. No suprise here. Next ?

    :thumbsup

    I feel bad for AA only because his been genuinely humbled. He was one to look out for as a prospect and i remember when he was featured in the "Ring". But the facts remain he was flat as a pancake for this fight and his just not world class. Nicky himself is on the fringes but he won this fight because he wanted it more.

    No excuses, Cook was the better man on the night. Arthur was lacklustre from the opening bell.

    Making weight can't be used as an excuse - if a fighter is killing themselves to make a weight they should move up.

    Arthur will almost certainly fight at 135 from now, he should probably have been a lightweight a while ago. Maybe the extra pounds will revitalise him like it did Cook last nights.

    Lightweight is stacked with talent and I cant see Arthur winning a second belt unless he is a lot lot better than last night.

    Incidentaly did I hear Arthur asking for gods help last night before the final round? No one is going to help you in the ring but yourself.

    Going from what TV showed that corner was poor all night.
