Guzman needs outside help to beat Alex Arthur?

JOAN GUZMAN reckons he has pulled off a major coup ahead of his WBO super-featherweight showdown with Alex Arthur by snapping up the Scot's ex-cornerman Brian Clements.
Clements knows the Edinburgh fighter well after putting him through his paces alongside Wayne McCullough in 2006 for the defence of his European title victory over Sergey Gulyakevich.

Arthur will fly to Vegas before theMay 3 bout at Meadowbank Stadium to link up again with Belfast-born McCullough but his long-time assistant won't be there after defecting to the opposition.
Record Sport has learned that after falling out with McCullough, Clements approached Guzman in a Vegas gym recently and told the fighter he could provide insight into what makes Arthur tick.

The undefeated champion referred Clements to his manager Jose Nunez, who said: "I was shocked.
"I didn't expect one of our opponent's camp members to be in the same gym as us in Vegas.
"At first, I thought maybe he was on a spying mission but we got talking and he is the real deal.
"So Guzman and I talked it over and we decided to bring Brian on board for this fight."

The Guzman camp had a vacancy with chief trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr being unavailable as he returns to work with Oscar de la Hoya.
Arthur admits the move for Clements adds spice to what will be an explosive battle but doesn't think it will give Guzman the edge.
He said: "I know Brian well so this is a surprise. But it's not really a concern and it's going to make no difference to the outcome."
Nunez is leaving no stone unturned in his preparation for this mandatory defence on the enemy's home ground.He said: "It is not only about beating Alex Arthur.
"Joan also wants to make another bold statement with his performance - he wants to be the world's best boxer at 130 pounds."
But the challenger has other ideas and is convinced he will soon be crowned king of the world.

Arthur said: "I feel brilliant and everything is going great.
"I am looking forward to getting to Vegas and I have some top sparring organised which will make me a better boxer.
"It doesn't concern me in the slightest who he's got by his side. I'm going to be in the shape of my life."

Im sick of telling everyone here that Guzman knows hes in trouble. The fact that hes accepting a traitor into his camp to give him tips to fight Arthur proves that Guzman is worried. Alex will expose this mug for what he is.

 

Get in there Girv:good

Im sure AAA has a wee look on the forums, & he will be heartened to know the scots lads have every faith in him to do a job on Guzman.

 

Hey, go cuddle someone else, Im not that kind of boy

 

Man, I have been asked some strange questions on ESB before, but never if I have eyes! To answer your question, yes I do have eyes & they have watched many Guzman fights.
Guzmn has said how he will come over & "rip Alex head off" & how the fight will be "easy money" so you think I am going to have any nice words to say about the guy?
Guzman is going to get beaten. In fact, hes going to be stopped. & I can even predict the punch that wil end Guzmns reign, a left hook to the ribs.
So be ready to shed lots of tears when Guzman gets gubbed. Dont say I didnt warn you!
