arthur has not fought one world class fighter, and has strugled against pretty bad fighters. easy win for guzman.
but still lookin forward to it

Guzman should win this one. To get the bigger fights he might have to make a good impression with a KO or a really easy exciting victory. I could see maybe Marquez giving him a fight if he beats Pac, but if Pac wins then he'll probably move up and fight the guys at LW.

Arthur is already struggling to make superfeatherweight so going in against a fighter like Guzman with those problems can only end in disaster.

Guzman by ko, I cant see this lasting to long.

Twice the minimum of 150,000 should still be loose change for the Emir of Dubai. Why not bring it there? Last I heard, Dubai has been shopping around for good boxing matches to be held there.

Or is it that even Dubai-- with its next to nothing experience in pro boxing-- thinks the match is not worth it?

for guzman to have big fights, he should abandon his old form, running... hugging... running... and hugging... he should fight like boxers do because the ring is meant for boxing... and not for dancing... and he should impress his audience by a knock out.
