comment on the article

I have decided to do a vote thread for this bout as i feel this is the real main event of the night because there is not a guaranteed winner and it is a world title fight.

So who is gonna win?

Vote

5 for Arthur on points

4 for Arthur by stoppage

3 for a tie

2 for Cook on points

1 for Cook by stoppage

Also i would love to here your thoughts on the bout and which round you think it will end in etc.

Cheers.

Its boxing, there's never a guaranteed winner!

It may be a world title fight, but the WBO belt that wasn't won in the ring doesn't do much for me really. Arthur should be considered blessed that Guzman moved up in weight. He'd have boxed rings round him.

Arthur will probably win this on points tho.

I think this is gonna be a belter !!!
I'm taking Arthur with a late stoppage.9th or 10th round.
He's struggled making weight in the past and it's shown with his performances.This time he's got it just right , so his size/strength should make the difference.
Wouldn't rule out both being down at some point tho.

Arthur ko 6 Cook
------------

Funny thing is Warren is trying to play this guy off as a bonafide world champ and he's the undercard for a Commonwealth champion. Go figure.

I fancy Cook for this one. Not sure how strong Arthur is at the weight.

I think Cook will beat Arthur quite easily on points but Arthur will probably complain and blame English judges or something as he is so self deluded.

I have to laugh at the guy posting 3 days ago saying that Arthur will complain about the judges because he is deluded.

I think you'll find that arthur had a higher percentage of punches landing and also landed with more punches in all but the first 2 and the last round.

He out-classed cook and I'd have to agree with the experts over you lot here that the only fair card was that cook won by 1 point...never in a million years did he win by 7.

It's embaressing and I'd like to see this as a rematch because I think it is incredibly unfair on Arthur.

I like how there is no thread on this website to comment on the result of the fight - that always happens when England win unfairly.

Please don't comment on boxing if you know nothing about it.

What are you chatting about?

Cook won the fight very comfortably and Arthur badly underperformed. He lacked fire and passion. I watched the ful fight and scored it 117-112 like one of the judges.

Like Ian darke said how on earth one judge had it so close as one point was baffling. Though there is always one clown judge on a panel.
