Just realised we left a fight out for tonight...

...The WBO heavyweight title is on the line tonight. Ok it is a bum title, but Shannon Briggs brings some interest to the fight for me, and I think he could cause a little upset tonight. I was following him on K1, and again once he returned to boxing. The guy has the power to win the fight, and he seems to have developed a mental toughness over the years.


He was always entertaining in a "knock guys out easily until he meets a decent fighter" kind of way.

I'm rooting for him tonight, to bring a little colour and character to the ranks of the alphabet champions.

Shows how bad the heavyweight division has become, that a guy, who on his best day was never more than decent, is fighting for a title completely under the radar.

The days when being the heavyweight Champion of the world meant that you were "The Man" have long been counted out.

Alex Arthur is also fighting tonight.

Fight is on ITV [scottish at least] around 11pm tonight.

Most of Arthurs recent fights have turned into battles. This should be a good 'un.

That will be a right scrap methinks. He is a right little battler, I quite like watching him fight, he is a gutsy s.o.b

I'm hoping Arthur gets the business done tonight. There is talk of a world title fight if he's able to retain his European title tonight.

If he keeps his head(no pun intended) he is more than good enough to win tonight.

Lets hope Alex Arthur can win this one tonight.

Good first round knock dow from AA.

Good first round knock dow from AA.

Doing well so far.


There's a woman in the crowd whose voice is bloody annoying.

[Doc_Piptorious]

It's over. Good win for Arthur.

Have seen arthur fighting a couple of times. A good fighter he is, dont think he will ever be top of the tree though, one fight of his sticks in my mind, his fight with Michael Gomez, what a great fight that was, went one way then the other, before Gomez came out the victor. Pity gomez is such a dizzy ******* because he could have made something of himself.

What a knock out. Superb boxing from a superb fighter.

Gomez gave Arhur a right hammering a few years back.

Nice to see that Arthur has picked himself up since that defeat.

He's due a world championship fight now.

What a knock out. Superb boxing from a superb fighter.

I really hate when ITV stick a mic in a boxer's face just after he has stepped out of the ring. Arthur is an articulate lad though.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Oh now Frank Warren is on, the bull**** levels will go through the roof.

Now Barry McGuigan:whatever: Master of stating the bloody obvious
