    this is quite an intriguing fight,think hughes could ko arthur .uts 13/2 at ladbrokes.

    form waht ive seen of hughes he can keep arthur busy ,dont think arthur looks healthy at this weight even in the last prizefighter !

    what folk got ?

    From an interview I did with him a while ago

    HOW exactly do you beat Kris “Badger” Hughes? Well according to one trainer, over 10 years ago, you may have to go about your business not entirely with your fists.



    “I was in a gym in Manchester years ago doing some sparring and I was doing well. And then one of the trainers says the only way to beat me was to break my back! Because that’s what you do to a badger to kill it apparently. That’s how I got my nickname,” explained Hughes.

    good fight, hughes is short on experience, i think he will be outboxed, arthurs style can be hard to watch, but he pecks away and can be awkward for a inexperienced boxer over 12 rnds

    hughes may not be the most experienced but im reliably informed that he has been worked hard in sparring to counteract that...

    Hopefully Jamie has lost his ridiculous fake tan since the last Prizefighter :lol:

    Looking forward to this scrap more than the main event, good to see Kris stepping up the comp, has a nice set of skills on him.
