Alex Arthur to face Joan Guzman

[Unanimous]

Apologies if this has been posted already. Had a quick look and didn't see that anyone had. Many people didn't think the fight would go ahead in Scotland due to Guzman's reluctance to leave the U.S.

The purse was bought for $280,000 and will go ahead on April 26th.

Go for it Ecky!

I give Arthur a 17% chance of winning this.

I give Arthur a 17% chance of winning this.

That much?

The hand speed will be to tough for Arthur to handle. Too bad Guzman couldn't get a bigger fight. He should try to get a fight with Valero. Possibly in Mexico where Valero is allowed to fight.

guzman is too good for him

I have only seen Guzman fight once but been told good things about him. It should be a good fight but I think Guzman will be to much for Alex.

Hmmm. It seems no-one is giving Ecky a chance. Okay, he's not world class yet but I think he'll give Guzman a harder challenge than y'all think.

No, I've changed my mind... a 14% chance.

No, I've changed my mind... a 14% chance.

I give him a 10% chance.

That comes from me wanting him to win.

Hmmm. Gonna have to make sure my heart doesn't rule my head when it comes to betting on this fight by the sound of things. I still think he'll have a better chance than 10%, 14% or 17%.

Maybe 25.2%
