Not the biggest fan of Buchanan and a big fan of of arguello but in a close fight I will go for Buchanan via close decision . Buchanan's left hand is the edge for me
To be honest watched a bit of Buchanan a few weeks back and his left hand in general really impressed me he at times he threw a really good left to the chest
As much as I love Arguello, Buchanan was far too tough, clever and classy for him. He would deftly outbox Arguello over 15.
I think its a rough match up for Arguello even though he's the better fighter. The thin man struggled with movers end Buchanan could move.
:goodcheers mr butt, i know you're not a big fan of king ken but you must have really been concentrating to notice his jabs to the chest. head to head id favour arguello even though im a big big fan of the scot. good match up stevie g
the best display of pure boxing ive ever seen was the skinny scot with the broken nose taking the **** out of welterweight contender donato puduano over 10 rounds....magic !!!!!
Arguello was too slow on his feet and hittable by the time he got to lightweight.Starts even slower than Buchanan too. Still a hard competitive fight, but Buchanan stays a step ahead and has the range, cyborg toughness and late rounds ability that someone like Ruben castillo lacked in overcoming the late Arguello surge. Laguna beats him too.MIght get worked over a bit more late on, but would do a serious number on Alexis for the first 8-10
I've always felt that Anything Vilomar Fernandez coiuld do...then Ken Buchanan can do..Plus ! .so it would be Buchanan for me on points also, a case of Alexis not happy with this style matchup - one think i will say About Alexis, a true gentleman, i always got the impression that he eased off Against Jim Watt, having dropped Watt, and clearly was heading for the win, i suspect Alexis had little urge to embarrass Jim by KoĆng him in front of his own fans, i could be wrong but Alexis seemed happy to settle for the points win
