Guzman: Arthur in for beating!
Wednesday, April 30 2008
WBO junior lightweight champion Joan Guzman doesn't understand what the hold up is. Guzman was originally slated to face interim champion Alex Arthur on May 3rd in Edinburgh, Scotland, but the bout was postponed after Guzman had to delay his arrival due to visa problems.
"I received my visa on April 24 and was ready to travel to Scotland the next day," he says. "I was packed and ready to go. I was excited. I could have easily fought him on the original date. I don't know why the fight needed a new date other than the fact that Arthur is flat-out scared of me. He was looking for an excuse to postpone this fight because he knew he was going to get destroyed and embarrassed in front of his hometown fans. This only makes me angrier. I want to get my fists on him now more than ever before. This guy is in for a real beating. He's going to get scotch-taped like you wouldn't believe. The visa issue wasn't even a big deal. All the paperwork was in order. I'm convinced Arthur is afraid of me. If he really wanted the fight he would tell his promoter to get us a new, immediate date. It has been nearly a week and we haven't heard a thing."
