    Calif. (April 30, 2008) – World Boxing Organization (WBO) Junior Lightweight Champion Joan Guzman doesn’t believe Scotland-native Alex Arthur, the interim champion, has the heart or desire to fight him for the full version of the title.

    “I don’t understand what the hold up is,” said Guzman, who is promoted by San Diego-based Sycuan Ringside Promotions. “Forget everything you’ve heard or read from Arthur and his promoter about me having visa problems. It’s all a smoke screen.

    “The truth is, I received my visa on April 24 and was ready to travel to Edinburgh, Scotland the next day. I was packed and ready to go. I was excited.

    “I could have easily fought him on the original date (May 3). I don’t know why the fight needed a new date other than the fact that Arthur is flat-out scared of me. He was looking for an sxcuse to postpone this fight because he knew he was going to get destroyed and embarrassed in front of his hometown fans.

    “This only makes me angrier. I want to get my fists on him now more than ever before. This guy is in for a real beating. He’s going to get scotch-taped like you wouldn’t believe.”

    Guzman was scheduled to defend his WBO 130 pound title this Saturday, May 3, in Edinburgh, Scotland . He received his visa a little later than expected, but he feels he got it in plenty of time for the fight to happen.

    “The visa issue wasn’t even a big deal,” Guzman said. “All the paperwork was in order. I’m convinced Arthur is afraid of me. If he really wanted the fight he would tell his promoter to get us a new, immediate date. It has been nearly a week and we haven’t heard a thing.”

    Guzman can say all he he wants, we all know he's shitting himself at the thought of going to Scotland.

    Not sure what happened. Why would Guzman not come when he was supposed to if Arthur was trying to look for a way of buying more time to get over his injury?

    It has been speculated that Arthur is struggling to get down to 130 - Ricky Hatton has publicly suggested that his mate Alex should move up to 135. This move was kyboshed immediately by ol'fish eye, who launched into another tirade!

    "He’s going to get scotch-taped like you wouldn’t believe.”

    Well that sounds better than getting whacked in the mush!

    Scott Harrison pulled out of the Guzman fight twice and Guzman thought **** IT and didnt bother to prepare a third time. Rightly so because Harrison wasnt ready for the third fight either

    Remind us what Scott Harrison went onto do.....weigh in 10lbs over the weight limit in his fight with Cook

    Exactly kerrminator... exactly.

    The quicker Arthur shuts Guzmans big mouth for good, the better. Guzmans a fake, all mouth & trousers. Always has been.
